The Arduino powered “Life Clock” integrates the Conway’s game of “Life” and a few other more useful bits of information. I like the cherry case that holds all 3 boards together in a nice little package.
No, it doesn’t tell you how long you’re going to live. It’s simply a combination of several things I’ve been working on these last few months. The Life Clock plays Conway’s game of “life” and displays the time and temperature as a marquee between games.

Making a binary clock is nothing new. However, it is a lot of fun and easy to make. If you have an Arduino and a parts bin, you should be able to make right now.

Alexandra Von Feldmann created this really interesting clock, which allows the viewer/owner to determine its fate.
The “Birth Clock” is a fragile glass object containing a digital clock that is not working; it is designed to help you to come to a decision when you’re stuck at a specific point in life. Smash the glass, and [...] [..] Read complete article

Just when you thought you had them all, the Arduino mutates yet again -
The new Arduino Nano is the smallest and most versatile Arduino board yet. Designed and manufactured by US-based Gravitech, it has all the functionality of an Arduino Diecimila in a compact, breadboard-ready design. The Nano includes an ATmega168 microcontroller (w/ bootloader), integrated [...] [..] Read complete article

This is an old project, but I think it is worth a mention on the blog. It’s a POV clock that requires only a few parts. All the schematics and code are available on the website. Looks like a nice intermediate electronics project, give it a try.

This looks like an interesting project made with an Arduino and a laser pulled from a laser level. There are schematics and a video on the website if you want to try and make one for yourself.
After programming the Arduino, I took out the ATMega168 and wired it into a breadboard along with a 16mhz [...] [..] Read complete article

Who doesn’t love a nice Nixie clock? But the real question is, who is willing to pay the high price of buying one? I know, a lot of our readers can make one fairly inexpensive, but this is still a nice alternative. Possible remake? This clock uses test tubes and a 7-Segment LED to make [...] [..] Read complete article

The clock is build out of bicycle parts. One of the design principles was to use only used elements. Edison once said that to invent you need good imagination and a pile of junk. The designers took his advice seriously.
The Bike clock was build by Yedidya Vardi and Vladimir Zviagintsev [...] [..] Read complete article

OK, this isn’t exactly a complicated robot. I really like the simplicity of the build. It would be very easy to change things around or add sensors, since the breadboard is right there on top and it has a lot of extra room.
