Makers considering building a Nixie tube clock, may be interested in a new Arduino shield which has been specifically created to make building a nixie tube clock and easier process. The Nixie Clock ...

Making a clock with a common microcontroller like an Arduino isn’t very difficult. However, if you’ve tried it, you probably discovered that keeping track of wall time is difficult without some ...

Keeping track of things like the temperature, humidity, and smoke level in your house is important. If you want to make your own system for doing so, Instructables user ICStation shows off how to use ...

It’s amazing what you can make with a blonk of acoustic guitar wood, a string of LED lights, and some basic coding knowledge. Surely someone with a healthy imagination could figure out various ways to ...

Binary Clock is a clock that displays the current time in binary or decimal using a LED display. It really does not serve much of a practical purpose, unless your goal is to display the time in a ...

I like this. Following on from the creative use of LEDs with the Periodic Table, check out this smart shelving system, similarly driven by an Arduino and using LEDs, that serves as a clock. Not a ...

Your smartphone makes a great smart alarm clock, but not everyone wants their phone next to their bed all the time. Instead, Make shows you how to build an internet-connected alarm clock using an ...
