I WANT to build this Plot Clock

[navkram]

Yes it is together almost. Not really likeing the design and how it goes together so i am redrawing the parts to make assembly and fuction better. If anyone has a drawer full of misc tiny srews nuts and bolts they can bring we can have it running with these parts until I finish the new improved timeMAAK.
I amplanning on getting there early to work on this if that will work with glenn. And would 5 be to early. I really want to get this working tomorrow

5 will be fine (you can come at 4 if you want), and I have a TON (well probably 5 lbs) of misc small screws of all types. I save them all when I take apart old VCR's, DVD players, Radios, CD players, Chargers, Inverters, Motors, my kids toys, wife's Kitchen appliances, pretty much anything that comes apart and things that don't.

Getting error when trying to load .ino sketch on the Arduino. 'setTime' was not declared in this scope.

plotclock.ino: In function 'void setup()';
plotclock:66: error: 'setTime' was not declared in this scope

Error referenced below. Don't have time to look at it. Maybe Glenn can look.

You need the time lib from Arduino

Update:
I have it all together except the arm orientation, but to me it looks like everything is working in mirror, when the pen should be writing it is in the up location. and I had the arms on kinda and it was writing from the right to left..... hmmmm going to post questons on thingiverse and see if I can get help.

Not sure why yours is running backwards Navkram. Did you make all the calibrations?


// delete or mark the next line as comment when done with calibration  
#define CALIBRATION

// When in calibration mode, adjust the following factor until the servos move exactly 90 degrees
#define SERVOFAKTOR 620

// Zero-position of left and right servo
// When in calibration mode, adjust the NULL-values so that the servo arms are at all times parallel
// either to the X or Y axis
#define SERVOLEFTNULL 1900
#define SERVORIGHTNULL 984


Did you print the arms backwards? (haha)
