The question came from the fact that I am still a layman in this field.
TL;DR
- Builds an RGB clock from a hard drive platter using a rotating slot, LEDs, and custom electronics.
- Runs on an ATMEGA128, and the program uses under 10% of its flash memory.
- Helps DIY electronics builders and hardware tinkerers who want to recreate the clock and see how the parts, control, backlight, and casing were assembled.
- Shows how a reflection sensor with hysteresis, RGB SMD LEDs, and the original HDD housing can create a clean hidden-sensor clock effect.
- Adds a later update with a BOOTLOAD.hex file for UART1 at 38400 baud, plus a Python script and extra packages for uploading the final application.
