Pythagoras clock part VII (Almost Ready)

Sometimes I simply cannot sleep, this is not frequent but when it happens I need to be active. I can not stay in bed counting sheep ... When this happens I go to my garage and start working in something, I spent several nights of this week till late and the rewarding:

My Pythagoras clock is almost ready and working beautiful:

I still need some wood and electrical work:

  • Design and mill a new stop lever to hide an extra weight I added, now is a piece of rod glued to the lever
  • Finish retouch in some places
  • Make the final circuit and hide it inside the clock base

Now I am adjusting the Arduino program to obtain the precision.

Here is a short video of the clock and some function details:

This video was taken at night with no noise and the only sound was the tick tock of the clock.
