The clock shown seems to show numbers in binary-coded decimal rather than straight binary. --Juuitchan
Why (as of this writing) does Wikipedia have an article on binary clocks, but no articles on analog clocks and digital clocks? --Smack (talk) 05:15, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
I added a link to my own JavaScript version. Do two versions seem too much? Just remove one of the links if you think so. --Hauberg 13:52, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
You should add in two more groups of 6 LED's to the left of existing ones to determine the date (6 are needed for the date in BCD, and both must be 6 if are they to be changable), and add in to the left of those a column of 3 LED's to determine the day of the week. And then you can add in options, including: binary or BCD, 24 or 12 hours, Month-Day or Day-Month, whether Monday or Sunday is day 1, to hide or show unusable LED's according to the settings provided, and LED color. So it'd look like this:
o o o o o o o o ooooo ooooooooooo ooooooooooo
if unused LED's are visible. If such a design would be made into a real clock, with the addition of several other elements (rings around the LED's that light when the LED's are turned off, but only in darkness, with the addition of a light sensor, and a simple array of rocker switches to determine settings and to set time in binary), I'd actually buy it.

If anyone knows how to can someone post circuit plans for a BCD? It seems like it would make a wonderful addition to the page.
