Summary

  • LEDs are a versatile and customisable tool with which to make a clock, and [sjm4306]‘s take on a traditional timepiece is no exception, using LED filaments to create a striking design.
  • Known as FilamenTIME, the clock features an outer ring of 60 minute LEDs and an inner ring of 12 hour LEDs, driven by nine Shift registers and an ATmega328P, with a DS3232MZ keep the time.
  • Although [sjm4306] is satisfied with the result, they note that the large PCB required is costly, and their current work centres on creating a smaller, more compact and affordable version.
