Viewer Challenge: HDD POV clock (HardDiskDrive PersistenceOfVision Clock)

let me know if you need any help translating, im polish but speak fluent english so if your unsure of any terms or context just let me know

Thankyou muchly!!! it would be very helpful if you could maybe help by translating this page : http://stat.4u.pl/?propclock (http://stat.4u.pl/?propclock)

~jcolefran

the link that you gave me leads to a password protected site, im not sure if thats what you are asking about or the site that is protected by it, do you have the password by any chance?

Yes, unfortunatly that is the case, and is why i would like some help translating the text, so that i could probably try and find the password or its whereabouts. thanks again, jcolefran.

the password protected page leads to a statistics website so im not sure how that goes along with the project, have you tried asking on the forum that the original post is on?

hmph

because that was from a link on the video asking if you would like to buy ???

no i havent posted a cooment there becuase everyone by the looks post is in polish :/

thanks for the help !!!

Hey Jason,

I'm also an Aussie fan! I got my first Arduino a week ago and this sounds like a great project for it!

It would be awesome to see Ben do something with this. I think the most difficult part would be the code. But Ben could show us how to make a super fricken ripper of a case to mount it in!

The links you provided look interesting and the Code at the end of the page is actually commented in English.

I've found further info and links (in English) here:

Not sure if it's mentioned in the links. But I think the key to making this nice and bright is getting the LEDs to shine onto the bottom platter through the gap. Perhaps removing the middle platter would work best?

Cheers,

Scott

Thanks for the offer, but honestly, im not exactly sure what i should / want to ask, and i think i'll leave that upto other people, as it is out of my depth. thanks

good to see other aussie guys on here : ) . the video you linked different code, and what im particularly interested in is the modes in the video i posted. usually the LEDs are a flexible strip of RGB smd LEDs and are lighting up a piece of paper under the platter.

im definitely looking forward to a case !

cheers ~ jason
