Making Minimal Mechanical Digital Clock

Making Minimal Mechanical Digital Clock

• New devices are so much fun to build or use. Lately been motivated by interesting designs from around the Internet and building time counting/displaying devices are an obsession, as they are more useful than just showing some irrelevant counter, been building quite a few clocks.
• ThingSurfing led me again to Thingiverse and I came across this Minimal Mechanical Digital Clock
• Seems like the maker Shiura is also obsessed with making various "time machines" (clocks). But there is an interesting mechanical and digital interface to all these devices, which is unique and provides a new angle to time.
• It was 3D printed and mechanically well designed enough not to need any changes. Used the standard code provided. Though this code runs on a network connected microcontroller, was able to get this working on an Arduino with manual setting of time. The ESP was not able to drive the motor well. Maybe an issue with the power supply. Need to check this later.
• Attaching the video of the operation of this clock.
• This is still very much a work-in-progress. As the other sensors to sense origin, etc have not been interfaced, manual intervention is needed frequently. When there's more time maybe will settle the other things.
