(...) Very, very nice! Well done! Now, your next project is to hook up a MindStorms RCX with a rotational sensor, to calibrate the grandfather clock with the RCX's internal clock. And, automatically wind the clock after a certain number of hours... (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

(...) The clock does make a rhythmic tick-tock sound... actually closer to a click-clunk sound.

Nice piece of work. Certainly impressive given the height and functionality. I like the doodads up on the top too. Nice touch. One thing I wonder about is what it sounds like - how much of a Grandfather-Clock-Like-Sound does it make? Does that great (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
