I am adding a "Voltmeter Clock" clock to my Master clock system.
I have used a design by Alan Parekh and have modified it to run 3 voltmeters sourced from Ebay.
Alan's site is here **broken link removed**
I am going to try to modify the code so I can synchronise it with my DCF77 synchronised Master Clock.
The basic clock (see pic of experimental layout) with modified meters is up and running using Alan's code. I have mounted it on a temp piece of wood for now. The meter dials were drawn up using Turbo cad, the old dials numerals sanded back resprayed white then the new dials transfered on using inkjet transfer parer.
On the finished clock I want to mount the control switches into the base under a perspex flap leaving the dials suspended on metal pillars. The perspex flap will illuminate with the seconds beat. All wiring PCBs and hardware is to be left exposed under a clear perspex cover.
I may also add a small relay to give the clock a tick.
Has anyone on the forum made a clock using meters?
I would love to see your designs.
