Over the christmas break, I've been messing around with Kicad. I've been wanting to make a clock for a while now and figured it would be a good excuse to learn a new schematic and PCB design program. It's not that bad after getting used to it. The autorouter is pretty useless and I ended up routing everything by hand.

 

I will be sending this off for manufacture soon and ordering all the parts to populate it. This board will be about 7.5 x 2.3 inches with the digits being 1" high, and it will rest between a few sheets of lexan.

  

Doubled-up for extra strength. Nylon machine screws as the axles because it was convenient. This is only a proof-of-concept!

Looking from the back. Various spacers on the pillars between the plates to match the wheels.

MY home made 7 segment LED clock. Digits are 1" high. Code written using the Arduino IDE. Compile on an Arduino board, AtMega168 transferred to a custom runtime board using a 32kHz watch crystal.

I use 2 of 2-digit Red LED 7-Segment to make a simple digital clock (watch). These LED 7-Segment displays are vintage and not available from electronics shops anymore.

An Arduino clone (a Freeduino-SB from Solarbotics) powering a dual-digit common cathode 7 segment display using two 74HC595 shift registers. I can control 16 LEDs with only three Arduino outputs.With the two additional 74HC595 ICs I can drive the next two digits, all from the same three output pins.

You can see the parts of an old 7-segment display from the former GDR. Left the LEDs, pretty small on the pcb.

Above the lightduct. Under these thing is the diffusor-foil which diffuse the light. It lies on the casing.

(pdf) Free, potentially useful and at least full of nice parts if totally busted. Turns out the transformer smokes if plugged in, so the roughly irreplaceable part is gone. Four secondaries, two centre tapped. Maybe I can replace some with various sources to end up with more working bits.

 

edit: I've since put two transformers inside to power the dual adjustable power supplies and the function generator. Both work nicely. Feeding the +5V line from the adjustable also makes the digital features work. The DVM and -5V would need other power supplies.

Attiny4313 AVR microcontroller and 4-digit 7-segment display

Built to the schematic, every signal and point tested and confirmed. LED's work when powered. Now to get the full-sized and SMD parts, build and program this, and then build a small one and program it with this program. That's the hope :)

 

Cute small LED displays on sale. Added some stripboard and resistors, multiplexing. Here it's running a quick decimal counter on attiny2313.

 

Flash ran out of batteries before I could dial a good balance and angle.

Finally some results!

Front plates in acrylic and styrene and the gears, disks and a spacer. I love the crispness of the laser cut parts!

Sloppy soldering job-- I'm new to this SMD thing-- but the pins are all connected.

Today in my office.

Over the christmas break, I've been messing around with Kicad. I've been wanting to make a clock for a while now and figured it would be a good excuse to learn a new schematic and PCB design program. It's not that bad after getting used to it. The autorouter is pretty useless and I ended up routing everything by hand.

The project for March is Pr0JCL0C, a simple timer to help me keep track of time spent on a project (it's also a clock). The Green button starts timing, the Red button stops. Session times are added to a running total which is stored in the Arduino's EEPROM. I implemented simple wear levelling to preserve the EEPROM.

 

This is not about seeing how fast I can do something but curiosity about how long some of these projects take. Often I'll go into the den and emerge several hours later. And then do it again the next night. Occasionally I take rough notes about session times but I thought it would be fun to make it easier to do.

I made a quick board for two seven-segment displays

Yup. I've just started playing with the 4 digit 7-segment display I recieved the other day. I have concluded that without a serial interface I have limited options, beeing a 16 channel demux chip. Just think it might just not work all that well... Oh well, at least I get to play around

Initial work on the design -- it's all in the patterns of "on" and "off" sectors on the disks. As the wheels mesh together, different sectors are revealed through the 7 segment windows.

 

The three segment disks are at the top, using different shades for the different segments to make verification a little easier. Along the bottom I'm testing '0'... '4'.

boobs,

how grown up.
