Hey guys, I built this clock. I had a friend help me with the woodworking for the case. I used an Arduino board as the compute platform and designed and 3D-printed the display components using several LED strips. I wrote all the code.

It shows hours and minutes, metric time and the current decibel level.

Autumn colors in California at sunrise this morning. The liquidambar tree in the right foreground wears two years of leaves, all year long. The older ones turn red, but don’t drop; the green ones keep the tree fed with photosynthesis. I’m kind of crazy about it.
