Flip displays are an interesting piece of technology, physically moving segments into place that stay put until other information is needed. Michael Klements has been especially fascinated by these devices, and after inspiration from another project, he decided…

Using 7-segment displays to make a clock is nothing new, but what if you combined 144 of them together to create an epic LED timepiece? That’s exactly how this project was made, allowing it to show surprisingly smooth mega-numbers and a colon set at an angle.…

As a collector of vintage technology (in particular LEDs and displays) I was very excited to find these rare 7 segment displays from a seller on ebay around a year ago. They have the wonderful history of being from one of the count down clock / timers from…

Whether for work or play, and now for various video/voice socials that have been set up, "chebe" spends most of the day at their desk — so much so that, in some instances they lose track of time. To address the issue, this maker dug out a vintage Arduino…

Edge-Lit Seven Segment Clock Display: Seven segment displays have been around for more than a century (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven-segment_display) and form the familiar shape of the numbers in digital watches, instrument panels and many other numerical…

I used an Arduino Nano to fix my dishwasher.

After being inspired by a beautiful, if rather expensive timepiece, Ira Hart decided to make a 3D-printed clock with 24 analog faces that combine to form a single digital display. The overall device is controlled by a single Arduino Nano, which keeps track…
