Bulbdial clock is cool, but I want 1 second not 2 second.

The second hand only goes by 2 seconds, can anyone look at the schematic and tell me if it would be easy to make it go by 1 second?

I can use 3MM LED's so the size shouldn't be too big of a deal, making the new PCB's for the LEDs will be hard though.

Thanks!
 
There's probably only one oscillator in there, if you doubled it, time would pass twice as fast.
 
I would imagine to double the oscillator then double the amount of leds. Pretty sure that would work but you have to do a really good job with led placement for it to look good.
 
They did 2 seconds because it's cheaper to make a kit. :p You'll need 30 more LEDs, first off. It would be hard to cram them all in there, so you would probably have to make a bigger case.

That's just a couple issues. :dah: What's wrong with two seconds?
