hi guys, this looks like it wants to be in some ones case to me! Programmable Gamma LED Disc just thought id point it out, i dont work for them or anything!
That is strikingly similar to a spinning clock first built by Bob Blick several years ago. He has plans on his site for his clock but it only shows text. some other sites for building your own, including one disk shaped ones, are; My Blick Propeller Clock Design - scroll down to the bottom for lots of links. The Nick Dawkins Homepage - a clock that also shows a map of the world. analog and digital propeller clock a disk shaped clock that also shows hands. (turn down volume, this page has very annoying midi music) Propeller Clock on a mirror There is also an article at the Seattle robotics for creating a spinning ASCII display similar in operation to these clocks.
No problem. A year of two ago I was planning to build one so I just dug up the links. If you have any questions about building one, just ask .
