Have you ever looked at a clock and thought, “This could be so much more than just a way to tell time”? Imagine a timepiece that doubles as a modern art installation, a glowing hexagonal masterpiece ...

LEDs have become so ubiquitous in our projects that just hearing that term probably conjures images of tiny illuminated domes in an array of single-spectrum colors. It’s easy to forget that these ...

Minimalist wood block + high-tech LEDs = one fabulous combination. We love the simplicity of this Japanese clock design: when the clock is turned off it resembles little more than a wood block. When ...

The Basic Stamp Homework Board (BSHWB) microcontroller, the PIC16C57, is a surprisingly useful and somewhat powerful microcontroller which I decided to choose for designing a binary clock, along with ...

Maybe our headline is a bit of an exaggeration, but the handmade Spinning LED Clock uses a mere 33 lights spinning at 30 revolutions a second to simulate—dramatic pause—8000 individual lights. We like ...

Part 1 of this three-part series introduced the technical and engineering steps necessary to design an LED display system from individual LED lamps. Part 2 provided the remaining steps needed to ...

SUCK UK (yes, their actual company name) has designed this very unique capsule LED clock and message display. It has a whole slew of LEDs and can be programmed to stream messages along with the time ...
