Man, I need to get a hobby :bounce:

[urger]

Heh, I had to build one of these for an electronics class long ago.Very cool.

[keeling]

As an undergrad in physics we had to as well.... it wasn't pretty, but it worked. This took a lot less time...lol

[rdc]

Very cool indeed. Now, how do you read the darn thing? :o

[keeling]

Each Column, from bottom to top.


8
4
2
1

So if a dot is lit up just add its place value to that column. Think Geek carries them (and has an image there to show you how to read them) and I am rather fond of them... although my wife hates them. :lol:

[Rattrapmax6]

Very nice, thu I had alot of probs with...

Expexting "=" Found "-"

I remember line 109, but I can't remember the other.. its were you have: "-=".. :???: .. I just moved "-" to the other side, wether it worked or not, can't read the clock to tell... I'll have to check the site, heh.. :wink:

[GEL]

I had the same problem, changed 'x -= y' to 'x = x - y' and it works. Which version of FB are you using keeling?

[keeling]

I am using the newest one... 0.12b I believe

It works fine for me.

Sorry about that.

[GEL]

Oops, I thought I was using 0.12b but after further investigation I found I was still using 0.11b. Sorry.

[whitetiger0990]

I have that clock from think geek ^-^ It's next to my bed.
