Unless i'm missing fancy tricks? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll put that in my build list, trying to plan this entirely so I can plug it all together over a weekend, not in the mood for development on my own projects right now! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Willdat? 3,641 Report post Posted August 5 1 hour ago, flyingbrick said: Needs to be on whiteboard with a duster to erase the writing afterward That's the plan! There will be a seperate arm with a duster that will erase the time each minute. I'm kinda keen on the idea that it only erases the number that changes, but to be honest the code works OK (and is plenty sophisticated for a 16 yo!).

Ned 4,148 Report post Posted August 5 you can add a 4th servo to the device, and spin the marker around 180deg and have an eraser on the end, and trace the same path it wrote for the last number, and write the new one 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
