so so cool. looks so funny. a clock that the numbers are written with a dry erase pen and then erased, write-erase, write-erase,write-erase,write-erase,write-erase, etc.
I saw this and also had a bit of "I want that." Just too cool to not have. Anyways, I have an arduino UNO that is available for the cause. Depending on the servos, a shield may not be needed.
Generally you don't need a servo shield for a normal sized Arduino. The servos can be run right off the pins. You can use my Mulitplo Arduino Robot Brain for this if you want. It has the exact hobby servo male connectors right on the board and the power plug in for a 6 AA battery pack also. Plug and Play.
The guy that made this didn't do a very good job providing the STL files to 3D print this, but he did do a fantastic job of creating the Sketchup File that you can use to laser cut or 3D print from (with a little export work).
Phil if you look on the thingiverse page he links out to someone else that created the .stl files, the original guy laser cut all the parts www.thingiverse.com/thing:250204
can we work on this thursday I will have all the mechanical done we just nee to do the arduino stuff. if someone can look at the arduino code and see if it will work and if it will work with what you have phil that would be great. or another arduino if needed?

On it.
The plans don't call for a motor driver, so the Arduino should be able to control the servos directly. The code will load on any Arduino also.
Lift Servo is pin 2 Left Servo is pin 3 Right Servo is pin 4
