Flip-disc clock

A clock based on 7-segment flip disc displays

Similar projects worth following
This clock uses 4 7-segment flip disc displays (https://flipo.io/project/flip-disc-7-segment-display/) from Marcin Saj's Kickstarter. I added a 12-volt-to-5-volt converter for the Arduino and adapted and expanded the original sample code. The updated version synchronizes with pool.ntp.org to get the current time every 60 seconds and blinks one or more of the discs.

Video of the clock ticking every second.

I temporarily commented out this version of the code because it was too loud! But it satisfies the 1 hz requirement. :)

The enclosure is actually a serving tray that my mother-in-law was throwing out. It cost $6.99 and it fits perfectly.
