Clock Latch Reset

Inspiration

I got really into retro display technology, such as the seven segment display and nixie tubes, but they are too expensive and require previous knowledge. I wanted to create displays with the retro feel, but the connectivity of today.

What it does

It is a kit of parts that can be built into a display and can display any series of alphanumeric characters , so It becomes a useful information display

How I built it

I started with an image of an old VFD display and modeled it to fit into an LED format then I designed the case and printed out the pieces. Next the LEDs Were added

Challenges I ran into

24 hours is not enough time to make A full kit for a product from scratch

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

What I learned

3d Printing takes time and is not worth using during a hackathon

What's next for Clock Latch Reset

I will get PCBs made and sell the clocks as kits with options for cases, display types and color
