Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

  Quote  How about a meter that sweeps back and forth for the seconds? With the meter mounted upside down it would look sort of like a pendulum. It would give the clock some animation.

@ Justplayin
Yes I was thinking the same thing, now that you mention it maybe it would look good with all the meters upside down. I might have a closer look at the code and see if my humble programming skills would be up to adding the seconds and then the PCB would also need an upgrade.
