DVD+R SPECIAL      LEDS      INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

Pretty neat, huh? I must have made about 20 of these. The only downside to them is that they automatically update for daylight/standard time based on the old rules that went out of effect in 2006. It functions like a digital alarm clock except for its excessive use of LEDs. This one shown goes counterclockwise instead of clockwise. I made more than half of them that way, simply because it was a lot of trouble to make something boring if it was just like a regular clock. The alarm can be enabled to go off on any combination of days of the week (for instance, just weekdays, or just Tuesday and Thursday, or just Saturday). It also shows you the date when you pus the button at the bottom.

If you're interested in purchasing a kit for this clock, I'll scrounge up the parts you need to put it together, the most important one being the programmed microcontroller. Call if you're interested. It's a lot of work and I can say that creating it was the biggest single waste of time in my entire life. I never got a thing out of it. No one was ever impressed by it. But the really painful part, writing the program run by the microcontroller, is already done, you just have to assemble the circuit, so instead of wasting 3 months to design it, you'll only be wasting about 10 hours to build it. Needless to say, I wasn't going to get rich off them unless I could sell them for thousands of dollars if each one took me 10 hours to assemble. I needed something that took 2 minutes to put together. Asking price is 10 dollars. If you actually want the programmed microcontrollers in large quantity, you won't find it difficult to talk me down from that.
