Eventually, this will be a fully enclosed binary clock with what I hope will be a nice silver (metal) or black (plastic) case. I also intend for it to use a standard computer power cable and have the power supply entirely internal with the option to use batteries. Time will be set with a group of 3 switches. I may add a 4th switch for an alarm. All switches will be 3 position switches that do not lock anywhere and always pull themselves back to the center position.
Materials required:
Blue LEDs
ATMEGA16 microprocessor
breadboard
3x3-position switches to control time
power support system (battery+AC downconverting)
project box from radioshack or a custom made metal housing (diamond plate?)
Optional Materials:
additional 3-position switch to set to alarm (on, off, set alarm time)
additional switch to disable display, but continue to keep time (for transport)
