Description

This is a meter clock I designed using an Arduino Nano, TinyRTC, LED's, and three 300V AC volt meters.

 

The front has two buttons to set the minute and hour and two led's that switch from AM to PM.

 

The Arduino code for this project can be found HERE.

 

 

Update 5/31/25: Uploaded the BOM.

 

FULL INSTRUCTIONS COMING SOON!

 

In the meantime you can refer to THESE INSTRUCTIONS of a somewhat similar build.  Please note that his code will work for this build; however, the AM and PM LED's will not light up.

I love it! Thank you very much! Works very nice! I had to use 4.3k resistors for modifying the instruments to get them in full scale range. Used yellow LED's for display lightning as this looks "older" I think. Tryed to give it a retro-military style, printed in PLA-CF black & olive.

It looks nice, but maybe look at my idea for (more vintage/industrial/steampunk/dieselpunk look) backlight for these meters: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1837301-so45-analog-meter-backlight-by-led-filament#profileId-1962486

Hi, and thank you for designing this clock. This is my first time doing anything with arduino, but I got the thing partially working, I can't adjust the time, I checked the inputs for the hour and minutes, and with a meter between a pwr wite and each input, I get 1.9v when the button is pushed. The voltages on the guages doesn't change, the only one that changes is the seconds guage. Does anyone have any ideas of what I may have done wrong? The buttons are also going to the proper input pins as described in the code. Thanks for any input in advance. I'll include a picture.

Love your design ! How did you achieve the rusty design ? I printed my front cover as "old gold". Gonna post mine once it is assembled.

I used this filament that contains iron. https://a.co/d/0edS0fbw once printed the model needs to be lightly sanded and submerged in peroxide for 12+ hours then set out overnight to air dry. The next day you will find that it is rusty.

Nice project, but wiring instruction or photo at least should be fine :)
