« on: February 04, 2011, 01:17:16 PM »
so in dt at skool were making our own clock. but i wanna ace it with my modding skills any ideas. i am thinking about to make a crystal clear acrylic cube with sound reactive leds wired in and the clock motor on sum side.

i made a clock in dt and after three years of product design my best advice is keep it simple, i know from experience if you try and do something complicated you end up having to rush it and it will look awful, try and think more simple but brilliant :P

Persistence of Vision (POV) Clock would be my suggestion, or as hidden said a binary clock...

Anything more simple than that. I mine I want Ideas In design like I cant make a Binary clock and stuff lol thats to complicated for me. my teacher is gonna give the class all a simple motor module thing for the clock. Its all graded on the Design. I have 18weeks to complete it at school which is 18 Hours all together. Thx guys but I need design ideas that are simple and Outstanding.

Thanks for bringing that project to my attention Frenulem. I want to make that now, however I have an interesting twist to it. I want to use amber leds for the numbers and the surrounding balls will be violet. The only trick will be is having the leds switch from amber to violet whenever the numbers change.

Thats a wicked Idea, thanks. man.

When you mean power do you mean volts. I am using 3v

But the problem is the conductive material.
