Inspired by the "Humans since 1982" installations, I built Clock²⁴, my own fully custom kinetic clock. This from-scratch project uses 24 quadrants and 48 3D-printed hands to "draw" the time in a 2x2 layout. Every aspect is custom-made: from the wooden frame, based on my own sectional design, to the custom PCBs I engineered to manage the motors. The system's brain is a master/slave architecture, using an ESP32 master handling WiFi and time sync, which commands two Arduino Mega slaves that orchestrate the movement of the hands.
Details
Will soon update with more details of the project, including repositories with the code for the microcontrollers.
