This page is the central documentation site for the Bulbdial Clock kit from Evil Mad Scientist.
Main details about the Bulbdial Clock kit:
- Announcement article at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories
- Kit page at evilmadscientist.com
Assembly instructions:
- PDF Version (15 MB PDF) (Trouble Viewing? Please click here.)
- Page-by-page HTML version
Background and details about the Bulbdial Clock:
- Original Concept at IronicSans.com
- The prototype, at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories
- On the design of the Bulbdial Clock, a more lengthy article at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, with some specifics of the electrical design.
Open Source Hardware documentation for the Bulbdial Clock:
- Source code: standard firmware (updated 8/2010, 33 kB .pde file) (Designed to run in the Arduino environment, version 0023.)
- The standard source code makes use of the Arduino DateTime library, which you will need to compile it. (This also contains the Processing sketch to synchronize time between your computer and the Bulbdial clock.)
- An updated version of the source code, to run in the Arduino IDE version 1.0, using the newer Time.h library, is now available here.
- Also available: "Hello Bulbdial" demo code, in Arduino .pde version or "straight" avr-gcc version.
- Electrical schematics are here. (125 kB .pdf file)
- The circuit board design is in gEDA, and you can download the design files here. (200 kB .zip file)
- The standard case design is available here. (50 kB .pdf file)
- Bulbdial Bill of Materials
- Design of the macetech ChronoDot
Places for questions, answers, and sharing experiences:
- Clock kit forum at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories
- See also: Archived Forums, with older discussions
- Evil Mad Science Auxiliary Flickr Group where you can share photos of your Bulbdial clocks
