2. enough with the binary clocks. as hack-o-riffic as it is... it's old. death to all binary clocks.

4. the '628 is overkill for this project; save money and use a smaller pic!

5. @nickjohnson: agreed about the 628 in terms of cost; however, as our ever helpful mr. o'brien mentioned, you can get them in samples from parts suppliers. samples, i.e. free, including shipping, often in quantities >= 10! what's better than free? ...if you've not tried this, i highly, highly suggest this route for any hobbyist.

6. heh, my buddy did the same 2 days ago.

7. Slow day on Hackaday, eh?

8. I would like to look as it it your friend has made

9. no offense to the project, but binary clocks are kind of old hat. it wouldn't be any more technically adavnced, but i'd be more impressed with a less common numbering system like octal or some convoluted system like base 3 or 5...

10. Good show ed3

11. I like the analog binary clocks they showed somewhere in there... I may just have to build one!

12. This could easly be done for the Hackaday design challange...

13. "analog binary clocks".... almost sounds like an oxymoron! ;)

14. I don't mind if they show a different binary clock a day. It's still ingenuity. If you don't like it, why not build something better? I bet most of the people criticizing can't even follow directions to make one if they had someone hold their hand the entire process.

16. I might actually do this one, or a modification of it. I've always wanted a binary clock that reads the time in true binary, (ie first bit representing am/pm, second bit representing after or before 6, third bit after/ or before 3, and so on... 8 LEDs would get you down to around 5 minutes accuracy, plenty enough for my purposes.

Has anyone else ever though of time as a binary concept rather than the arbitrary 24x60x60?

A single byte could represent that ~5 minute accurate time unit. We could call it a binute. :)

17. I put the schematic online too.

It costs (including 16f628 or 627 is also good) about 7 dollars in parts including 628.

It is different from the commercial binary clocks (and thus original):
16h23
will be shown as
10000 010111

Whereas on the commercial binclocks it is shown as
00001 01010 00010 00011

The commercial ones only teach you binary numbers from 0 to 9.
This one teaches you binary numbers from 0 to 59

18. Does anyone know where I can get the hex for this clock. I am kinda new to pics and I only know how to program a hex file to the chips.
