Hi,

I just found your DCF77 MK2 analyzer clock. I find it very nice crafted with that old wood and brass housing. I am now thinking about building one myself. But I hate free wiring all that stuff and I love creating PCBs. I also have a CNC so I can create an exact frontplate and maybe also the wooden case. But I have problems finding such a brass/glass bezel. If you know where to get one or maybe you have a spare one please tell me. If I create a PCB, I have to order five pieces minimum, so it would be good to know a stable source for the bezel. I also plan to reduce the components. I hope, I can play the chime sounds which I like very much by the AVR processor via PWM. I have to check if there is enough memory for it. If you like to discuss such things, please contact me via email. I don't find your email anywhere on your site.

Greetings from Germany

Hi
I have recently discovered your Arduino word clock and associated instructions. I like the inclusion of a dimmer, a tidy daylight saving solution (a switch) and motion sensor.
Thanks for posting your work, it is appreciated.

I am working out what I would need to make one and think I can have a go at it although I haven't worked with an Arduino before (and I don't have a lot of tools).
I have two questions
Could You check the posted (Brett11_print_ready.svg) Vinyl Sticker download. It appears there is something wrong with the download and-or my system because the letter spacings are different on every second row; i.e. the even number rows are noticeably longer (left to right) than the preceding row.
Also, how far were the LEDs pushed through the board, just the end-top or was the body of the LEDs protruding into the countersunk holes?

Thanks again for the upload,
Alan

Hi. Love this adaptation of the ballbearing / marble clock. I found this on thingiverse whilst getting some of the stls for the original Vortex Time Machine Clock. I think I am the only person whos built it and pressed the 'MADE' button.

Im not not very good, in fact im terrible, at designing creating models. I wondered if you, assuming you built it, had any issues with the roughly "Y" shaped return model. Ive printed it several times in various quality but the balls still get stuck when the noisy 1:00 & 13:00 ball dump happens causing the machine to stop.
The numbers i read were dual colour did you pause the print (use gcode) and change colours or use a dual 3d printer?

on another subject did you print the water transfer yourself or is there someway of getting them printed

Also do you have a 'donations' page / patron site i could contribute to once i finally finish making this.

Thank you once again for your hard work and perseverance on all your projects

I`m developing your barometer project in smd technology. So far I created double layer pcb in eagle with some atmega output pin modifications due to better track utility. I can attach the eagle project for the community and publish with your agreement. Now I am waiting for some items, stepper drivers etc. Your schematic is quite clear, but I can`t find what to do with "Sp" output (pin 23 of Atmega 328 and A6 on Arduino Nano). Because of this i put solder point on my pcb in case if those pins should be connected to each other. You inspired me with your concept of "digital to analog" conversion :-) If you are interested in final work, we can stay in touch.

Dear Brett,
I really love the DCF Analyzer Clock - exzellent project, made with a high professional look. I'll try to build one for my home, wiring seems a bit stressful, but already have some experience with an DIY NIXIE clock. I tried to download the chimes mp3-files as supposed, but the website seems to be unavailable (404 - Page not found). Could you send these files via Email please? Thank you so much!

With stormy greetings from Hamburg - it's gale force 9 right now

Dear Brett

May I ask, would you undertake besoke project work? I would be happy to meet the cost of components, other materials and your time.

Thanks

Hi Oliver, I've been going through you page on the Word Clock which I'm really interested in. I've spend a number of hours going through the process and think I'm getting to grips with it' However, there are a few things I'm not really sure about. I've drawn up my understanding in a Figma project which you can see here. Would you be kind enough to talk a look and if possible add some comments around my lack of understanding? It would be a huge help.

Truly appreciate any help/comments that you provide.

Kinds regards
