i would love to see the numbers change through some sort of 7-segment cycling or spinning animation like what CD players had back in the day when reading a disc. it would give it a sort of cascading effect on the minute.
I once made a [similar display](https://imgur.com/a/WGavZG8) that was a 6×8 matrix of 7-segment LEDs. In the shot I linked, it’s showing big digits using small digits like your clock. We’d also use it to display normal-sized text (e.g. menus) and play pong. (I couldn’t post the latter two links because the automod rejected links to my google photos album)
The display was one of a dozen similar displays that went into our [rocket ship treehouse](http://rocket.jonh.net).

Nicely done.
Sweet!
Mad lad.
That may be the least efficient way of using 7 segments, well done!
Heh. Reminds me of the digital clock made with a bunch of small analog clock dials.

Edit: apparently some cranky artist thinks he has “copyrighted” clocks made of smaller clocks and took it down with IMO bogus DMCA claims.
I love the font!
I would like this staring at me in the living room
I love this!!
Wow i really love it
r/2healthbars
Noice 💯
Very cool idea!
Creative! I love it
I think the ones on corners never light up… Right?
Really love this. So creative!
This is just so… I don’t know what it is. When does r/DIWHY become art? Well done.
Now I have to say that’s a cute effect

I’d call it a 1008 segment display.
Very clever idea. Version 2.0 idea: use 14 segment displays
Fooking rad
That’s so fuckin cool.
Reminds me of the Lego font.
This is like subpixel hinting in LCD font rendering write large. 🙂

I have a box of about 800 of these I bought at a electronics swapmeet a while ago. I know what I’m doing with them now!
Haha, that’s delightful! Seriously, I love it.

I don’t like 7 segment displays. But this, I like
You should alternate between the time and Pi out to 143 decimal places.
How would I go about making my own? Seriously cool.
Should have been 11 less. 133 7 segment displays.
144 of them? That’s gross.
But can it display 5138008 still?
