Capricious Clock – Crazy Time Clock

 

 

 When I was living the cubicle like it sometimes seemed what time either flew by or slowed to a crawl. This Capricious Clock by our friend Pete Mills makes the second hand move in some strange ways which makes it makes the seconds tick by the way time sometimes feels. 🙂

 “The code keeps track of the 1pps pulses coming from the quartz clock movement, it delays for a random period of time then moves the second hand.  If the “Real Time” elapsed is greater than the displayed time the program will delay anywhere from 1-0.125s to catch up to the “Real Time”.  If the display time is faster, the program will select a random time from 1-8s to slow down so that “Real Time” can catch up.”
