About this model
I made a very simple 3D printed clock driven with an Arduino board and a stepper motor.I had two ideas in mind with this clock: - Make a real simple clock, no other hardware needed (other than the electronics).- Show how IT can interact and improve mechanical devices. The motor I got from Adafruit: has 32 steps and a reduction ratio of 1/16.032.At first, it does not look like a good choice for a clock, however with a little bit of programming, it work just fine.The combination of steps and ratio gives 513.034 steps per revolution.Divided by 60, that is 8.551 steps for a one second motion.A stepper motor can only move an integer number of steps, so the program will start with 8, steps, and keep track of the remainder, and switch between 8 and 9 steps as needed.The human eye will not see the…
