And you get a clock at the end of it! [hamblin.joe] wanted to do a simple project for kids along these lines, so whipped up a neat design using analog meters to display the time.

A header connects to an Arduino, which provides power and control over I2C. If you’re looking for an application, [Jason]’s prototype single-sideband radio shows the chip in action.

Just when you thought you’ve seen every strange variation of clock there is to see, we find one based on an Arduino that tracks the phases of the moon.

1. Arduino Nano Microcontroller: This small yet powerful microcontroller will be the brain of your clock, handling all the logic and control for the LEDs. 2.

Some of our readers will remember the Qlocktwo clock, that display the time in words rather than numbers, now you can make your own DIY version using the power of Arduino.
