DIY Bubble LED Clock

Imagesource: https://youtu.be/m_juPAK7I_I

CuriousMarc is a guest in our magazine every now and then. This time with a very special project. The Bubble LED Clock.

Never heard of it? Take the TI AC5948 chip, which started the era of digital clocks in the late 70s, and solder it together with a bunch of HP Bubble LEDs. Add a few components and a battery, and you have a semi-modern and absolutely awesome timepiece. 

Great project. Love it.
