This project began with the fact that Timofey acquired a large electroluminescent indicator from the cash register and asked me: "What would be stirred with him?"
The indicator is a two-level display of 20 characters in a row.
At first he wanted to make a clock with the output of time and calendar at the same time on the display, but it is pretty trite, and for ordinary hours too small signs.
Then I suggested the option to make the time to display in text mode, in the form of phrases.
I even suggested to display the same time to apply different phrases selected by chance "five hours forty-five minutes" or "without fifteen six" or "a quarter to six". But Timofey cooled my dust saying that the rubber memory for microcontrollers was not yet invented. My sentences make an option with reading the user-editable list of phrases with a Microcd card either not sweat due to the high complexity of the future device. As a result, a list of fixed phrases was drawn up and the finished device was very compact.
Time setting occurs in a conventional digital form and you can also display time information in traditional for digital hours.
Long thought over the case and finally came up with placing a board in a bottle. These are boats in the bottle make gynecologists on pensions, and we will make the watch in the bottle! Just green glass add contrast the display.
At the bottle from under the wine I cut off the Dyshko Diamond Disk.
I try on the display, and it does not climb ...
I had to armared with a grinder and cut off everything that can only be cut off. At the same time slept the corners under rounding the neck of the bottle.
Now I got it!
At the bottom of the bottle, we glue the ring to which the cover will be attached with the control buttons.
When I did this item, an interesting story happened. This ring must be blamed. Jumped and washed with water. It is clear that the ring is wet and glue will not immediately work, then I heated it to the burner so that it is hard. It is clear that the ring became hot and I, in order not to wait, cooled it with water ... Now, I think, you must hear to dry, but at that moment I realized that I got into an infinite loop. Long thought ...
For the floorboard, I found a free space on the board of the indicator and placed it on the racks.
A screw is glued to the end of the board, which holds the edge of the board with its slot and, when rotating the nut, it will be tightly fixed and at the same time centen the board in the bottle.
It came to the stand. Initially, I wanted to make it entirely from the tree going along the path of the least resistance, but I have a big tense with a wood tool. I decided to do everything from Cyril, but he, you see, went home, he, damn, day off ... I had to wise myself, but it turned out, even for the better.
Fasten the bottle decided for the neck as in the racks for long-term storage of wine in the cellar. To do this, made a rack with a terminal clip. The hole inside the skin to prevent slipping.
A T-shaped frame of a brass bar 10x10 mm is attached to the rack.
Rama relies on two scales.
And the rack is fastened with a curly nut.
Here, actually, and that's it. It remains only to collect and look at the resulting result.
Options for displaying time in text form.
Here, in fact, and that's it!
Thank you for attention!
