Building My Dream Digital Clock: DIY 7 Segment Display with a Cute Robot Twist!

- Katie wants a new clock for her workshop, and while she likes the classic cuckoo clocks, they're a little old fashioned. For this element14 presents project, she's going to create her own electronic twist on the time-honored cuckoo clock, with digitally-animated robots instead of birds and beeps instead of chirps.

A hexagon pattern on the face of the clock! timeless!
I like the hexagon idea, thanks!
Great project! One suggestion would be to add a red acrylic filter over the clock digits. It will add contrast and make the numbers stand out more.
That's a great suggestion, will definitely be adding a filter to help with the contrast, thanks!
@@hifromkatie You’re welcome.
a little bit of window tint film might work as well.
You put a lot of time on this project. Good job !!!!
I👀 what you did there! 😁
Katie - thank you so much, love your no nonsense explanations x
Another great project! I would probably relocate the power jack into a cavity so that it could either sit on a desk or be hung on the wall and sit flat either way.
That's a brilliant suggestion, I put it on the bottom to make sure it say flat against the wall, but it hadn't crossed my mind to put in a recess, but that would have been perfect, as it sits nicely on a table due to the flat bottom
Great work as always Katie! I look forward to seeing your next project.
This is a labor of love. I've marked it to hopefully try down the road when I get more adept with projects like this. Thanks for the vid. 🙏
My only hands-on computer experience in high school was a teletype connected to a mainframe located _somewhere._ 😊
Amazing
Auch! Looking for something in your workshop you know you have and coming up empty is such a pain familiar to all makers. Hopefully as you reorganise your shop, it will turn up.
Such a fun project! Maybe it's time to use C? :D
Yes, about 1/2 way through I started wishing I'd started in C!
@@hifromkatie live, and learn. :D
Such a fun idea! 🤩
Nice. I just built a Numitron radio alarm clock using a Raspberry Pi, plus some custom boards. Debugging is... ongoing.
That sounds cool
You could call your robot figure _"COU-2-KOO-2."_ 😉
Nice!
Nice work on a great project. You've inspired me. As for decoration, Midjourney has generated some interesting ideas when I give it the "robot cuckoo clock" prompt.
Cool, I'll check out what it suggests
Nicely done. v2 possibly use wav files, the high pitch of the buzzer can be hard to hear sometimes and w some ppl they cant hear high freq sounds. Congrats.
That's a great suggestion, would make it easier to listen to
Great video
Would love to see a recreation using Arduino, esp32, i2c leds and a 3d printed bird servomechanism
That's a cool idea, would be an interesting challenge to get all the mechanics working correctly/well. I might give it a try in the future as an alternative!
i was expecting a cuckoo to come out and utter the time ;-)
What about the weights?
That's the first thing I think of when I think a cuckoo clock.
You are building with Arduino/rasberry? Previous episodes you are showing your normal methods?
Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (now dont' take it to school - we don't want you to become "Clock Girl")
Wait when the hell did element 14 get British? Am I supposed to know if my project uses 120 or 220
AFAIK Element 14 has always been a British company. A division of Premier Farnell Ltd of Leeds.
You could change to a 12 HR clock pretty easy, my old Bush clock radio from the 1980s uses 2 LEDs to represent AM and PM. Have thought about upgrading that a few times but never got around to it.
@@Workshopshed No I meant the... mains current
There's a variety of different countries represented.
I know in all my projects for element14 I use barrel sockets on the project and spec an AC to DC power supply to power it.
With the intention that you should be able to find a power supply unit/brick with the correct plug for your country with the right output voltage
@@hifromkatie I was... making a joke
