What is it?

In this variation of the popular clock, letters are projected from the back onto a screen. Each letter is connected to a linear actuator that can be moved back and forth by a servo so that the projection changes size and focus onto the screen.

Why did you make it?

In 2019 we finished building a word clock controlled by 114 servos. Version 1 of the clock looked great but the building process was very tedious and would make it almost impossible for other people to recreate. In this project, we did a complete redesign of the clock with the goal to make it more reliable and greatly ease the assembly process.

What is included with the kit?

A detailed BoM can be found in the GitHub repo linked below. The kit contains all parts necessary for building the clock except for the 3D printed components.

Assembly required. Please check the documentation below for the assembly instructions to ensure you have the skills and tools to complete this project.
