The multimeter clock doesn't fail to electrify us

This is the multimeter clock. It's made of three actual multimeters -- one each to display the hour, minutes and seconds with a 16F628A PIC microcontroller to do the actual timekeeping. Do we want one hanging in our living room? Not really: but it's still very cool.

@manofchao5

I would.

I like shooting things.

[panckakes Posted Jun 26th 2010 1:58AM]

That would be confusing to Guests that come to your house.

[voicemailradio Posted Jun 26th 2010 3:56PM]

@panckakes lots of illiterate guests dropping by, have you?

[cobraman156 Posted Jun 26th 2010 1:58AM]

That is really cool but my family would think I am crazy if I put that on my wall.

[Midnitte Posted Jun 26th 2010 2:00AM]

Kinda want to build one... except smaller scale.

[spiegalpwns Posted Jun 26th 2010 2:21AM]

@Midnitte Yeah! and maybe make the dials go in complete circles.. or even better! How about.. we make it one dial, with three different needles!

[SoulinEther Posted Jun 26th 2010 3:29AM]

@spiegalpwns I was about to say that defeats the purpose until I realized I would be defeating the purpose.

[voicemailradio Posted Jun 26th 2010 3:58PM]

@Midnitte i believe it looks so big because its in the foreground of that pic lol

[SoulinEther Posted Jun 26th 2010 3:32AM]

cool concept, but it's a bit impractical. having to discern one digit from three different meters makes telling time too slow. i already waste enough time reading my wristwatch :/

[voicemailradio Posted Jun 26th 2010 4:02PM]

@SoulinEther i dont think its supposed to be practical.. just very cool. so IT wins

[ChuckBartowski Posted Jun 26th 2010 5:03AM]

Would be really awesome to hang in a shop or something. i would totally do that.

[joelaf Posted Jun 26th 2010 6:50AM]

Dayum, now I'm back in 1981, reading guages in a radio station..............

[Zhuzhu Posted Jun 26th 2010 8:29AM]

Far too many useless labels uglifying it. Needs only "H M S", if that.

[stridermt2k Posted Jun 26th 2010 10:43AM]

I'd be proud to have that displayed in my ohm.

[dardub Posted Jun 26th 2010 12:42PM]

@stridermt2k
Your'e so punny.

[voicemailradio Posted Jun 26th 2010 3:59PM]

@stridermt2k good 1!

[Jeremiah Posted Jun 26th 2010 11:00AM]

What the hell is wrong with his pants?

[GoGopherGo Posted Jun 26th 2010 11:39AM]

@Jeremiah I saw this too and thought the lower half of his body was really messed up. It's a reflection off the table he's resting on.

[Timerider Posted Jun 26th 2010 12:05PM]

Would be great for the electronics lab at college.

[Darth Binks Posted Jun 26th 2010 1:52PM]

Ahh. So that's what NASA scientists are now doing...

[treef rt Posted Jun 26th 2010 2:53PM]

Nice clock and all, but it's overshadowed by the funky way that guy is standing.

[voicemailradio Posted Jun 26th 2010 4:05PM]

aside from looks or practicality, this is undeniably awesome, imo

[McShmoonz Posted Jun 28th 2010 9:37AM]

The shininess of that table makes this man's torso look JACKED UP.
