The title lies a bit, this clock can keep track of all sorts of time zones and events. Sometimes having some extra hardware around looking for a purpose leads to cool gadgets. Have a look at how the Mars Clock was made. Code, schematics and everything else you need to make your own is provided.

"You are probably thinking "There are hundreds of PIC clocks on the Net – do we need yet another one?!" Well, this one is a bit different:

  • It has 16 timers that can be independently paused and restarted, and can run forward or backward.
  • There are 16 alarms with configurable sounds and actions.
  • Timers can show Earth, Mars, Jupiter, etc. times at the same time.
  • How about sidereal time, Moon phase, Jupiter’s Great Red Spot transit time, and anything periodic in general?
  • Simultaneous 24-hour and Julian-time decimal display.
  • All changes in configuration can be done from the device’s keyboard – no computer necessary.
  • External AC power with built-in rechargeable battery, so you can take the clock around.
  • High on the geekness scale."

  1. Online Clock Says:

    Pretty cool, in a geeky way, but try putting that thing in your luggage and you’ll probably be arrested at the airport!

  2. Alan Parekh Says:

    True, it does look a bit like a bomb trigger circuit. I would love to see some of these projects get scrutinized by security. :)

  3. Online Clock Says:

    …but at least it’ll fit comfortably in your back pocket.

  4. RSMilward Says:

    Very cool that he used an old Cardinal modem case! But does it show your longitude?…

  5. eczema Says:

    Pardon my cynicism, but the coolest thing about this gadget is the name.

  6. Multiple Monitor Says:

    Yay! A Mars time clock!

  7. bradleybradwell Says:

    This is quite the device. It would be cool to see a new clock like system that tracks time through different solar systems or maybe have one universal time. Wonder what that would be…..

  9. sonic boom alarm Says:

    This looks like a pretty sweet device! I’m kind of a clock guy, so this clock/alarm would be nice to add to my collection. However, the best alarm by far is the sonic boom alarm clock; it is the loudest, most reliable alarm clock I have found on the market.
