Build a Tiny Version of Those Pricey Word Clocks On the Cheap

If you ’re bewitch with theQlocktwo ’s cagey word - based approachto displaying the metre but not to the point where you ’re willing to miss $ 1,500 on one , here ’s a muchsimpler and cheaper alternativeyou can build yourself .

Designed and engineered by Daniel Rojas , this take on the tedious clock requires just an Arduino , an 8×8 LED matrix , and the power to publish on transparencies which most menage inkjets are more than capable of .

The Micro Word Clock work exactly like its with child counterpart , you ’re just trading the ability to easily read it from across the room for a thousand extra bucks in your sac . And if you ’re able to miniaturise and down Rojas ’ aim even further , you could deform this design into a streamlined spotter that will have you squint at your carpus wherever you go .
