This clever clock displays the time in magnetic fields
Reading Time: 2 minutesYou’ve probably seen videos of people moving magnets near iron dust, which results in the dust aligning itself to the patterns created by the magnetic fields. Magnetic viewing film works the same way, but with the dust in an oil suspension sitting in the gap between two sheets of transparent plastic. By…

The O-Clock is a fun way to check the current time
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — April 6th, 2022 After coming to the conclusion that the traditional analog clock just isn’t enough and the digital clock is too boring, Hans Andersson decided to make his own version that integrates both RGB LEDs and fiber optics to show the current time in a far more entertaining manner. Rather than…
