About The Project

A word clock is a device that shows the current time on a LED matrix by using the word rapresentation of the actual time in a specific language and with a specific frequency.

For simplicity we chose to use a 12 x 12 matrix of letters, Italian as a language and 5 minutes as a frequency. So time is shown using Italian sentences every 5 minutes. Due to the simplicity and flexibility of the solution, it can be adapted to other languages and frequencies.

You are free to fork this project and use it as a base for your own implementations.

Questions

How big is the Word clock PCB?

It measures 59.7 × 87.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Word clock use?

10 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Word clock KiCad files?

From the fablab-imperia/word-clock repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Circuit/wordclock.kicad_pcb and its schematic Circuit/wordclock.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Word clock design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
