Main details about the Bulbdial Clock kit:


Assembly instructions:


Background and details about the Bulbdial Clock:


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.
  • 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.
  • To set (sync) the Bulbdial time from your computer via a USB-TTL interface, use the "SetArduinoClock" Processing sketch, available here. Run this sketch with Processing.
