I wanted to make a clock inspired by the vintage car that was in my family for two generations. I customized a font to make the numbers, and programmed it on a Pi PicoW. Unfortunately it still has a lot of work before it's complet, but here it is.
Here's a short video to see it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jF1MOfdnew
What it has:
- Runs on Micropython, just un-zip then upload the files using Thonny, and as long as your connections are correct it'll start showing time when the GPS gets a sync.
- Uses a GPS module to get and synchronize the time (programmed to EST, can be changed in the code)
- Once the needle gets to 60 minutes, it rewinds to 0.
- The Lower OLED displays the Hours (in the trip odometer position)
- The Upper OLED displays the year/month/day (in the total odometer position)
- The needle zeros by slipping on the drive shaft when it reaches the little pin stuck in at zero.
- The Pico and the Motor driver do not share the same power supply, but
