It's that time of month again ... mailbox time with free parts generously provided by ICStation! They asked me if I have any ideas for future projects and it just so happened that I have clocks on my brain so I asked them for an led matrix module (http://www.icstation.com/lattice-breakout-module-8x32-matrix-screen-ht1632c-p-6982.html), some npn transistors (http://www.icstation.com/50pcs-transistor-2n2222a-2n2222-p-1481.html), and an absolutely tiny rumble motor (http://www.icstation.com/10pcs-4x8mm-micro-vibration-motor-5400rpm-60ma-with-wire-p-9966.html) to get started on two different projects. In this video I introduce the parts so look forward to a future detailed video for each part that will show my prototypes for each clock I am planning on building. The first will be a fancy smancy scrolling led clock and the second will be a mechanical flip dot style seven segment clock. If you guys want to pick up any of the parts or anything else from ICStation don't forget to use
