Used parts are SG90 servo's and a Raspberry Pi Pico W running CircuitPython. Source code, music and PCB designs are available on my Patreon.
Total cost: €30,-
Each unit filament cost: €2,13 (total €8,50)
Back covers: 2x €1,78 = €3,60
Bottom frame €2,-
Pi Pico W €10
Servo's (I buy these at €1,30 each): 4x €1,30 = €5,20

Incredible! and thank you for introducing my designs. The base for the 4-digit clock gives a gap between hours and minutes intentionally, so it might be nice to eliminate it for counters. I can modify it easily, but I believe you need additional digit soon and you can do it by yourself. I am really looking forward to seeing your 5-digit version working!
Hey, I'm honored to get a response from you! Aww and I hope I need the 5th digit soon too! 😁 Yes, I only noticed the gap when I was done with 3D printing, haha. And then I just lived with it. I did make it so that when it goes over 9999 it divides the shown value by 10 until the number fits again.
I feel like very quickly you will need to add another digit onto it. Just amazing content, camera work, builds, and overall knowledge about what you're doing. You will be at 10K+ I want to say in about 6 months (honestly I think 2 months). Maybe upload twice a month instead? Idk. But you will be huge if you keep this up. I see no reason this channel should be at 120k or MORE. Solid stuff and definitely promising.
Wow, that's an amazingly kind comment. Thanks so much for the friendly words of encouragement! 🤩
Was gonna say something similar! You'll be far bigger!
Wow, I hope you guys are right! I'm giving it my best shot! 😃
Exactly, just print a static 0, put in on the end, since that data doesn’t update anyway; solve two problems in a single go 😅 and in a couple of years, replace it with a “k” 👏🏼
That's clever!! 😁
Love your maker adventures. Such a treat again this video. Especially the foreshadowing and the experiment at the end. Great stuff.
Thank you! 😃
This feels like the first digit could drive the second digit, like on a tape counter...maybe it is too much resistance for the servo.
Smart idea! Though then if you have a power loss you need to manually reset. I've seen designs around that do this. And to set them you can take parts out so you can manually move each digit back to zero.
@@JensMakerAdventures Right - most things that use that design are intended to be tamper proof, like car mileage.
ps. 5:51 The boiling flux problem is new to me (and doesn’t look like fun), so it might be something I’ll run into in future. Please update us if you figure it out!
😂 it's no fun, you're right. I'll let you know.
Did Inne help you with learning Kicad?
Haha no, not even 😜
