I just thought you may like to see my versions that I built in hardware. A PIC based clock at Instructables.com http://www.instructables.com/id/A-Word-Clock/ and an Arduino based version http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Word-Clock-Arduino-Version Both coded in 'C', and with full sources and PCB layouts available. but - I have downloaded your cool screensaver - for my laptop - thanks! Hi,

I love your software version of the word clock – You were a long way ahead of me!

I just thought you may like to see my versions that I built in hardware.

A PIC based clock at Instructables.com

and an Arduino based version

Both coded in ‘C’, and with full sources and PCB layouts available.

but – I have downloaded your cool screensaver – for my laptop – thanks!

Programmable in C. Use multiplexing to control large numbers of LEDs arranged in a grid. I make cool animated LED clocks - stacking dots, fading colours etc. You should consider using printed electroluminescent or printed OLED displays for a hardware implementation of the word clock. Very cool and easily done. Regards, Nick Use a PIC microcontroller rather than doing it all in counters. Programmable in C. Use multiplexing to control large numbers of LEDs arranged in a grid.
