Digital Analog Clock

This is definitely one of my favorite projects and it is hanging in my living room (as of 10 years ago it is not hanging anymore as my better half did not approve of this "hideous thing").

It is an "analog" clock built up with LED's. It also shows the current date in the red circles in the center.

The face is made of aluminium. I made all the holes by hand. I drew the circles with a compass. digital analog clock
It has a receiver for the DCF77 time stamp signal so it will always show the correct time. digital analog clock
As this is also an older project it does not have etched PCBs. The clock is powered by an AVR AT90S4414. I also made the case myself by bending a metal sheet. I then coated it on the outside with felt so that it wouldn't stain the wall. digital analog clock
