M.A.D. Clock
New wall-mounted interactive LEGO clock built for the museum. This raises a weight which is then released to run the clock on gravity. The weight falls to drive an escapement gated by a swinging pendulum, which in turn drives a gear train that gently rotates the hands of the clock.
Last night I did a presentation at the Music Hackspace in London, talking about my process and demonstrating some of the mechanical, electronic and software elements that have gone into my pieces.
I’ve uploaded a zip of my presentation and some of the supporting files to my site, this includes some in-progress code and circuits which may be helpful.
It was great to meet the group last night, very chilled out and amazing stuff going on at the hackspace, with an spectacular workshop.
