Description

This is a redesign of a Panel Meter clock I built for my Dad's 80th birthday. It uses a pair of 85C1 panel meters to display the time and a NeoPixel to provide color effects like sunrise and sunset. It is powered by an Arduino compatible 32u4 processor and a DS3231 real time clock to accurately keep track of the time.

👍 But is the time current? 😉

Are you sure? yes | no

Yes, in this case it is a DC current.

He loves the clock but would like something larger that he can read across the room. I'm thinking of building a larger one using a pair of stepper motors and a ESP32 with NTP.

I do love meter clocks. Nice gift idea, too - tell him happy birthday from everyone at Hackaday!
