A Case for a clock.

A project log for HP Bubble clock

Yet another HP bubble clock, using ATTiny84A.

I want to do something I haven't done yet, but I can't quite seem to figure out what it is yet. I know I want a sudo steampunk style clock (I think..)

So I have designed a very minimalist case for the clock that has it sitting at a 30* slant. The Idea is to use this case and some rather thick copper wire to hold a lense, much like the ones found in the Google cardboard VR systems. 

This lens does a pretty good job of magnifying things and even though these displays are quite readable I think a lens held in an interesting way could be fitting. Also painting the case is a must. Until then here are a few pics of the er stand.

Until next time. Boards are in fabrication, hopefully I will be putting one together soon. :)

Or you can go for the fresnel lens over the LED like the CRTs in the movie "Brazil".

oh man! mmm that would be a pretty interesting display add on. I'll have to see if I have any sheets laying around.

Thanks, I had a fully enclosed style case but I did not like it. plus I like being able to see all the bits.
