In this video, I will take you through the step-by-step process of creating a Boeing 737 replica Clock/Chrono. Starting with the PCB component build, we will move on to fully completing this unique device. Watch as I meticulously assemble each piece, ensuring everything is perfectly aligned and functioning correctly.
The culmination of this video will feature the programming and entire operation of both the analogue and digital combination. You will see first-hand how this clock/chrono is a beautiful piece of art and a fully functional timepiece.
You will see the countless hours I have put into perfecting this replica Clock/Chrono, and I am excited to share it with you.
So please sit back, relax, and let me take you on a journey through the creation of this stunning Boeing 737 replica Clock/Chrono.
The design, parts and build guide can be found here: www.737diysim.com/build-guide...

Thank You Karl! Another great addition to the sim. I have finished the MCP & EFIS and now working on the FMC with MTU to follow. I'll be ordering parts for the clock shortly. Again, thanks for the terrific projects and all the additional support work on youtube and in the build guides.

Beautiful build! You can improve contrast on those LED displays by putting a darkish yellow/amber gel over them. It'll vastly tone down the ambient visibility of the "off" segments, while the lit segments will be just as bright. :)

@jordangough7920 6 ай бұрын

Are you able to elaborate on this? I find this to be the difference between what you would see in the real deal vs DIY projects. What kind of gel/product are you talking about? Cheers mate.

@yorgle 6 ай бұрын

Sure. A lighting gel (colored thin plastic) can be placed over the 7-segment displays to improve the contrast. If you match the color of the gel with the color of the light, then it will darken the frame of the digit segments without making the light any less dim.

3 Things: On your website clicking any of the optional items in the parts guide points to an invalid address: 737%20chrono%2C%20737%20clock A piece of yellow tinted film would improve readability of the led displays inmensely. The seconds hand lags behind the digits changing, it looks off. Maybe you can change the settings so it "lands" at the tick instead of start moving at the tick. Great build.

@helimech8152 Жыл бұрын

Good morning! I noticed that the second hand lagged exactly one second until the end of the video. The clock started from -1 instead of 0. I corrected this by using the compare tab in Mobiflight and changing the value from -1 to 0. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Also, I have just received a roll of window tint suggested by a Patreon member. They pointed out that this makes the 7 segments much more readable, which I have a go at soon. Kind Regards, Karl

from @29:47 the top right display's digits are the wrong way around eg shows 10 instead of 01. Even more noticable from @30:19 where it shows 70 instead of 07 (only 60 minutes in an hour :) )

Love watching your videos. can i ask where you get your sizes from? as in have you been in a real cockpit and measured actual sizes? or is there a recourses site that can give you real world sizes for items.
