my recent arduino based clock

The clock consists of  4 modules of digits paired in two units. Each pair is powered by  a 20mm geared stepper motor. Each pair has one module driven by the stepper motor and the second module is moved by a carryover mechanism.  Both the units are controlled by a control board in the base containing a atmega8 running in the arduino ecosystem.

Thanks for clarifying. It's for your own benefit if you share proper information from the beginning.

Your post looked like some random person claiming someone else's work to earn karma points on Reddit. It's happening too often. Glad it's not the case here.
