Binary Clock V1.0 2006/07/04 3:56:35

Impress your colleagues with this clock on your desktop! It shows the time in binary form ... can you figure it out? (it's quite easy though and be the hero at work).

It comes in seven colors; you change it by clicking on the widget.

Took a while to learn how to read it, but got it. Thanks

Very nice. If you understand binaryy numbers you have it.
1 + 1 is like 5 + 5.

this is all to hard to read and takes a while to understand so ill stick to analog.. im only 13

Pretty sweet. Everything shortkid111 said is correct by the way, but it doesn't help read the clock quickly. Took me a while to figure out how to read it well. It all has to do with 2 raised to certain powers. If the first column is black (where the first column is on the right), add 2^0, if the second column is black, add 2^1, if the third column is black, add 2^2, etc., all the way to the sixth column, which is 2^5.

Remembering that black columns are equal to one as OldMacBonit mentioned, reading the top row if it looked like this:

010010

Would meant 2^1 + 2^4 = 18. Or 6 o'clock PM.

If the middle row at the same time looked like this:

101010

That means 2^1 + 2^3 + 2^5 = 42. So it's 6:42.

Odds are you won't have time to caculate the seconds accurately. But one more example all the same:

110111

Means 2^0 + 2^1 + 2^2 + 2^4 + 2^5 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 16 + 32 = 55. So if you have a quick mind, you can read all three columns to get 6:42:55 PM.

Is an alarm function possible?

Something like:
Right-clik gives an set-alarm-option where you click at the 4X3-squares to turn them on/off.
A button toggle alarm on/off.
When the alarm goes off the size of the clock quadriples and turn red, goes bact to normal, quadriples and turn red..
Alarm off, by left-clik.

Count-down would be nice too.

Hmm... it might not be my place but here is a little guide to reading the clock. Basically, the top is hours, middle is minutes, and the bottom is seconds. Reading the clock might take some effort but the pattern is fairly simple to learn.

First, we have 0 which is with six spaces, 000000.
1 would be 000001. 6 would be 000110.
2 would be 000010. 7 would be 000111.
3 would be 000011. 8 would be 001000.
4 would be 000100. 9 would be 001001.
5 would be 000101. 10 would be 001010.

Basically, the tick starts on the right and moves to the left... with more ticks appearing and moving to the left until they hit the first tick... and this continues until all the spaces to the right of the first tick is filled in... then it gets reset with a new tick moving to one to the right of where the tick in the last set stopped at and the process repeats...

If I said anything wrong... feel free to correct me... because there is a slight chance that everything I said is wrong... so bah...

I'm betting that the reason there are only six spaces is because 60 = 111100, so no new spaces needed.

And hmm... my comment... I can't read binary but it seems fairly decent nonetheless...

I really like this...Binary clocks are always really cool, but I always like ones that use full binary and not a "tens" column.

発言者 Mequalspi, # 2007/01/10 4:46:53

First good binary clock I've seen. But I can't wait to see one that shows the date in binary too. :smile: Only need three more rows...though the year would be rather long. P:

発言者 dafiguer, # 2006/11/13 18:08:07

I think I would like this a lot better if there weren't extra pixels on the left side. The one row seems like it's extra, and not being used.

発言者 Sheepmaster3000, # 2006/08/22 0:57:34

I think I can see a pattern in the seconds but thats as far as i've got P: Nicely designed

発言者 Carson01, # 2006/08/14 17:17:51

Well, that's something you will have to figure out on your own...
Just a little tip: White field means 0, black means 1.

発言者 OldMacBonit, # 2006/08/09 18:41:01

What? This is a diff type of binary clock than I am familiar with. Why is it divisible by 6 spaces instead of 8? I do not comprehendes.

It is a very cool design, but you NEED ABSOLUTELY NEED an explanation.

発言者 iolala, # 2006/08/05 19:00:35

Please, who can teach me how to read this binary clock? thanks a lot.

発言者 whiteremex, # 2006/08/01 12:03:39

a sugestion: posiblity to change transparency, so when i place it always on top, it should be possible to read text through it

発言者 wessan, # 2006/07/21 11:04:58

All the pixels (225) can be seperately turned on and off in different kinds of colors; this feature has not yet been used. Any suggestions?
