Who wants to tell the time from a conventional clock or watch, when a servo-powered word clock is available? Well this wonderfully colorful Servo Wordclock DIY Kit is the ideal solution to technical timekeeping, giving you the opportunity to build your own lavish word related timepiece!
As the time passes by you’ll find it magically appears before your eyes in colorful lettering, covering all of the permutations the day brings. Loaded with 114 servo motors this word clock has been refined to be easier to put together than the first incarnation off the back of a complete redesign – most notably reducing the components from around 80 pieces to around 300! The clock has WiFi on board and has it’s time updated via NTP server so you can be sure it’s in the right place.
The source code, BOM and design files have all been shared by its creator, to give you an idea of what to expect – the project can also be found over on its Hackaday projects page. The Servo Woodclock DIY Kit is sold by Twisted & Tinned who are based in Germany – selling a fine selection of tech treats! See the video below to watch it in operation:
