One clock just wasn’t enough for Lorraine’s next build. After creating the gigantic RGB LED clock in a previous element14 video, she went on and created another clock as a gift for a friend. Watch as Lorraine chooses the electronic board to code the clocks with and add extra functionality: buttons to control a stopwatch and international time zones.
