Reddit user Krukerfluk has created an awesome DIY digital clock using 144 x seven segment displays, combining them to create a larger LED display powered by an Arduino Nano. The small Arduino ...

Maker Michael Klements has built a unique electromechanical clock using a little Arduino hardware, code, and 28 servos, which tilt panels to reveal the correct time in digital format. As the time ...

We’re used to seeing all manner of seven-segment displays, be they mechanical, electronic, or something in between. But what all these displays have in common is that they’re, you know, displays.

Of course, there’s nothing unusual about using 7-segment displays, especially in a clock. However, [Edison Science Corner] didn’t buy displays. Instead, he fabricated them from a PCB using 0805 LEDs ...

Many options exist to drive seven-segment LED displays, but most are limited to low output currents. The approach described here uses one 74ALS374 or 74AS374 octal latch, wired as a shift register, ...
