I had great fun working on a cool Multimeter Clock project which got
picked up by Design News for their Gadget Freak series. I thought it
would be cool to have a clock that looks like an old Simpson 260
multimeter. The clock consists of three multimeters, the first meter
displays hours, the second displays minutes and the last displays
seconds. A 16F628A PIC microcontroller keeps track of time and outputs a
calculated current to each meter to display the current time. The
process to get it published took a bit of time and one of the most
interesting aspects was going for the project photo shoot, the picture
above is one of the outtakes.
