Linear Clock (2021)
- taid9iK- 2y agoNice. Very nice! And I mean the idea, process, electronics and all that. The visual end result isn't quite my thing but that's really just nitpicking. Very very nice!
- amelius 2y agoThis reminded me of digital microfluidics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncfZWqPm7-4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncfZWqPm7-4 Perhaps someone can make a clock using this principle.
- walteweiss 2y agoLooks very black magic-ish to me! Fascinating project!
- MikePlacid 2y agoI would rather prefer a round clock design: mathematically it’s linear but more stylish and simpler to implement (no reverse movement needed). But then you’d probably want to mount it vertically))
- MikePlacid 2y ago> …the PCBs fabricated in China … waiting for the delivery Is it that bad already? Last time I’ve checked there were a lot of US options for 3d printing. No for PCB fabrication?
- daemonologist 2y agoThere are definitely companies in the US that would do a prototype PCB for you, but at a 5x premium over the large scale operations in China and not much faster (or as fast as you want in exchange for a blank check). For a hobby project that is often not worth it.

- szvsw 2y agoWhen I used to work at a modular synth company (and was also building/designing lots of DIY synths) we would usually use OshPark, which are domestic, but it was certainly cheaper and quicker to use a service like JLCPCB from china.

- leni536 2y agoCool! I wonder if offsetting the coils on the different layers would allow a clock with finer steps, or even stepless.
