Block Clock

This is a very early project. It is a 24 hour clock that was built up using only standard CMOS ICs and no µC. The leading zero is surpressed. It has three buttons to set the time and a circular running light.

Here is a simple schematic of how a 24 hour clock can be built with standard logic ICs. bclock
For a 12 hour clock the inputs of Nand 4 need to be connected to Q2 of counter ZBIN 3 and Q1 of counter ZBIN 4.
It has self etched PCBs that I had to hand draw with an edding.
