Wanted to show off my most recent kit built, “The Chronulator” from the good folks at Sharebrained.com. This little project was fun and quickly rewarding. The Chronulator comes complete with all the parts needed and very well documented and thorough instructions. I think this kit is fun for the those new to soldering (and electronic kits) or even those with a fair amount of experience.

So what is The Chronulator? It is an electronic clock, but it displays the time on two analog meters. I think it looks great on its own, or in some custom display as many have done.

The assembly time is short, and I actually spent the majority of my time customizing my face plates, which can be found here if you’d like to re use the Gimp Images to manipulate on your own. The Sharebrained site also offer many options to choose from.

If your feeling highly motivated, source code is available from ShareBrained. The Chronulator is controlled by an Atmega168V microcontroller (~think Arduino), so the possibilities are endless to what you can make this kit display.

Can’t wait to see what other kits become available from ShareBrained, I’ll be first in line.

Check out my completed kit below, click on the picture to view my full Flickr account with more pictures of the project.
