Digital Crazy Hours and Minutes - WiFi Sync Clock

- Usually, intermittent motion mechanism such as Geneva drive is necessary to decrease the number of the motors of mechanical digital clock. Contrary, this clock has a constant mesh (permanently engaged reduction gear) between tens and ones places of minute numbers. The ratio of the reduction gear is coprime (7 : 10) and 70 numbers can be shown by one motor. The order of the numbers are not random but optimized to minimize the time to update the time.
To show the current time correctly when it is powered on, not only the WiFi connection capability but also origin finding mechanism are necessary. This clock has an one-way rotation blocking mechanism. The rotors for minutes are stopped at 00 when it moves backward, but pass through there when rotating forward.
3D models and code are published in the following site. It needs large (30x30cm) 3D printer.

Wow, you're a true clock enthusiast!
Dig the clock! And the music selection! Christmas songs are great any time of the year!
Yeah, actually after I uploaded the clip I noticed that is a Christmas song by some familiar melody line..
You are truly Master Of Time!
Another nice clock from you 👍🏻 By now you must have a whole wall of them 💪🏼 Nice with the mechanical “homing”, you get a bonus point for that! Have you tried with some silicone oil to reduce the sound when it moves?
Yeah it is a bit loud so some silicone grease or oil may reduce it.
this is like if you combined an analog and digital clock
A wonderful project. BTW Where can I get or make a clock like the one in the lower left corner in the video?
That clock is also my design, please take a look at

there the link to the 3D data and code are in the description.
@@shiura Thanks a lot
My house is filled with your watches. You have excellent watches and this is the watch I asked you for months ago. You're amazing. But it's too big for my printer.
Think about shrinking this clock if you have more room for additional clocks.
Again, amazing. What kind of controller are you using? Maybe something like an ESP32?
Yes, I use ESP32 based board, M5STAMP-C3. docs.m5stack.com/en/core/stamp_c3
@@shiura Thanks!
can i use regular esp32 board than using stamp-C3? because not easy to find stamp-c3 board in my country
Yes, you can use other ESP32 boards. The rear cover is designed for M5Stamp-C3, but the others are universal. Many unused screw holes are prepared on the rear of the frame so you can attach ESP32 using these holes and screws.
@@shiura Thank u Shiura for your beautifull clock, i can't hold my self to making one of this.... I will use esp32 board from lolin and because the hour ring and frame is too big for my delta 3d printer, i will divide by quarter (hour ring) and half (frame) and glue it, hope this method work 😇
It’s wonderful
Please share 3d plan and code if it’s possible. I like make it myself really. Thanks a lot for share your art🙏🥂
Yes, I definitely publish the 3D data and code. Please stay tuned.
@@shiura tanks a lot for replay 🫶
I just published the models and code, at www.instructables.com/Digital-Crazy-Hours-and-Minutes-WiFi-Sync-Clock/
@@shiura big like, tnx for sharing your knowledge
Hello shiura. I'm sorry I asked so much. I managed to upload the codes to esp32 S3. Now, how should the motor connections be according to S3?
Any IO ports you can use. The list of the ports are written in the source code, so you can change the value according to the actual connections you did.
@@shiura ❤️🙏
Dear Shiura, How to program with esp32 s3? I also have esp32 s3
I think the program might run on ESP32 S3 without modification, except the assignment of IO ports for driving stepper motors.
@@shiura It gives the following error: "This software is for esp32 c3"
@@djtur1 In my environment, the program can be successfully built with board selection of ESP32S3.
@@shiura Thank you. I'll try again.
Could you make a 24-hour version of this please? :)
There is no enough space to arrange 24 numbers or add one more rotor, so I have no plan to extend it to 24hours. Thank you for your understanding.
@@shiura Not meaning to interfere with your plans, but why can’t you make the clock bigger? I’m just curious as a clockmaker myself. Thank you for your patience with me.
@@YamamotoTV2021 My printer can print the parts upto 30cm x 30cm and the current model almost reaches to the limit. Already most makers request to shrink or divide it because popular 3D printers are 20x20 or 18x18cm.
