Arduino binary clock doesn’t care to be useful, just wants to be admired

If there’s one thing we love about DIY projects, it’s the feeling that the outcome is more than the mere sum of its parts. This here binary clock is a prime example, being composed of scrap plastic, some dirt-cheap parts and a homemade Arduino board. And yet, after a few licks of polish and the inevitable LEDs, it looks like a true monument to geekdom, which is only amplified by the fact you can’t even use the thing without being familiar with binary code. But then again, if utility was a standard by which we judged homebrewed projects, we’d have a lot less to talk about.
