    The clock is sped up 12x so that you can see several digit changes.
    Studio project and Mindstorms program may be found here:

    5,2,6,8,9,3,0,4,7,1
    The ten minutes digits appear on 20 tread links overlapping in the following order:
    2,5,3,0,4,7,1

    I *LOVE* The idea of re-using half-digits! so clever! Love this design!

    As soon as I saw the way it uses parts of other numbers together I literally said “holy sh*t that’s clever!” That is pure genius using a method like that!

      Both hours digits are driven by a single motor / axle.

      If you have the Studio program from BrickLink you can view the project "digital clock.io" from the link above.
      There are various versions of the Python code there as well; the latest version "digital clock with lunar 2.lms" includes a lunar phase display on the hub.
      There are also step-by-step instructions for an earlier version on the BrickLink web page linked above.

      I have posted renderings of the important subassemblies for the current version in my community tab.
      www.youtube.com/@darrellaldrich8334/community
      Also, there is a link to My Shared LEGO Project Files in the banner and the about tab.
      The Mindstorms program is written in Python so you will need to be familiar with the language to sset the time.

      You can view the entire construction from the BrickLink link in the description.

      I believe this is detailed in the description.
      If you follow the BrickLink link you can see details of the assembly.

    @darrell aldrich can I build this just by buying the Mindstorms kit?

    • @darrellaldrich8334
      @darrellaldrich8334  Před 2 lety

      No, sorry. Nearly all of items used to construct the digit tracks are NOT in the Mindstorms kit. The Mindstorms kit includes one 11x19 panel, this uses six. The Mindstorm kit DOES include all of the necessary motors and of course, the Hub.
