Named ‘El Relojito’ (relojo = watch in spanish), this seemingly simple design is a great project for anyone ready to move past the rank of ‘amateur’. 60 LEDs surround the 7-segment leds telling you the time. A PIC micro controlls all the action. The write-up is in spanish, but the schematic/pictures should be enough to guide you.

This robotic clock seems to combine old school thought with cutting edge robotics technology. Every minute the robot updates the clock by moving one number away and replacing it with the actual time. The write-up doesn’t have many details on exact specifications, but the basic theory is pretty obvious.
