Home » Blogs » Gadget Master » Microcontrollers Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s Time Twister 2… Clocks are a recurring theme on Gadget Master – check out the Pong clock, the Worduino word clock, the hard drive clock and the Nixie clock, for example – and here is a new Lego-based, Mindstorms-powered variant. Its creator, Hans Andersson, has improved his first version, which we covered, with a bigger and better Horological masterpiece. Time Twister version 2. Each digit is made up of seven segments which are connected in a chain. The connections are made in such a way that a segment can be rotated 180 degrees before the next segment is affected. By rotating the first segment a specific number of turns you can set the last segment in desired position. Then by rotating the first segment in the opposite direction a specific number of turns you can set the second last segment. By rotating alternately in one direction and the opposite direction, you can set all seven segments of a digit using only a single motor.
Movement: Two LEGO Mindstorms NXT Intelligent Bricks. Width: 117 cm (46 inches) Height: 46 cm (18 inches) Weight: 8 kg (17 lb) Check out the rest of Hans’s blog, highlighting his Mindstorm robots – Tilted Twister. Get Electronics Weekly every dayThis isn't the first R2-D2-themed alarm clock to grace these pages, but serious collectors (and serious sleepers) might want to take note of this iteration. Made from the highly detailed and accurate moulds used to churn out R2-D2 plastic models, this astromech alarm clock plays a symphony of Star Wars themes and rolls around your room when it's time to get out of bed. But this R2 isn't all about looks. Hidden beneath a sliding access panel on his chest is an LCD screen displaying the time and alarm settings. And instead of just making bleep bloop noises when it's time to wake, R2 can play the Star Wars theme, messages from Princess Leia, or those incredibly catchy Cantina songs. Imagine showering every morning with those tunes stuck in your head—you'll be reaching for a blaster in no time.
All those extra details don't come cheap, though, and this little astromech will line Lucas' coffers with an extra $100. But we've all spent money on far worse Star Wars crap, right? [Strapya World via 7Gadgets]Jason Allemann, who created these Lego mazes last year, built this beautiful and elegant Lego ball clock. The video shows how the rail system works with one ball being hauled up the chain every minute, then tipping the balance once enough balls have accumulated.

Clock very good . My grandson loved this clock My son is very happy with his new clock. Very easy too use. It's a shame the time is not illuminated all the time. It's a pain you have to keep pressing the button to see the time. Everything fine, bought as a gift. It is a bad quality clock it worked for 2 minutes when I received it and the it stopped . I returned it and waiting for another one. very happy just what i ordered Great clock, gift for my partner, only downside is you have to press a button for the backlight to come on wich is only for a limited time would be nice for it to stay on all night...
