Panel Meter Clock V2.1

----------------------

My father has been a lifelong Ham Radio Operator with a fondness for anything

with a panel meter. After seeing the [“Trinket Powered Analog Meter

Clock”]() by

Mike and Anne Barela on the Adafruit website I knew I had to make one like it

to give to my Dad for his 80th birthday.

Here is Version 2.1 of that clock.

3D Printed Case

---------------

All parts print without support. I have printed them with 0.3mm or

0.2mm layer heights using 3 top, bottom and perimeter shells in PLA.

Meter Faces

-----------

The Hour and Minute meter scales were created using Inkscape. The source SVG

file is provided in case you wish to make changes, as well as 300 and 600dpi

PDF files that can be printed at 100% scale.

PC Board

--------

I designed a custom Arduino Leonardo compatible P.C. board with a DS321 RTC

clock, NeoPixel and USB connector that mounts directly to the back of the two

panel meters.
