Boy, talk about a delayed response... I uploaded a copy of the "baseball template" file here:http://www.meier-phelps.com/eggbot/Baseball Template.svg There are several layers: 1 & 2 are text from one of the baseballs I did, to show the alignment…

I am so glad you posted this - I thought I was going crazy! I was *sure* I had put the long end in the square hole, but when I looked at which side was round, it was facing the wrong way and did not match the picture in your most excellent instructi…

I also found the light pattern from the LEDs to be a bit wide, and in some cases diffuse. The folks at EMS tell me they are 20 degree (viewing angle) LEDs. I poked around a bit and found some 15 degree Cree LED's on Mouser that I like. I ordered a…

If anyone is interested in printing on baseballs, I've created a template for this. It's for standard league approved hard ball baseballs, but it could be easily adjusted to fit any ball with stitched seams. The template has an outline of the area…

Ah, so I'm not crazy after all. Phew!

To remove the middle sections of the straight lines, I used "Edit Path by Nodes" to add 2 nodes to each line, lining them up with the edges of the oval (hold Ctrl to constrain to horizontal). Then click on the resulting middle line segment and clic…

Interesting. Exactly what I tried, but with very different results. Inkscape 0.48, in case that matters. I held Shift and clicked on each of the 4 horizontal lines, then clicked on Path, Combine. Then clicked on the oval, and clicked on Path, Cut P…

I had meant to raise only one issue, that of how to do this. It was not my intent to criticize Inkscape, only ask how to do this. I actually like Inkscape, it's just taking a while to sort out how to use it. I tried your first method, and it works …

Yep. That's the point - there is no tool in Inkscape to simply cut one path with another. At least not that I can find. For example, start with the traditional1 pattern. Create oval for the area you want to put the text in. How do you get Inksca…

I have seen other logic where the date/time was checked as you say, "when the date arrives ... we adjust the RTC...". That works great if the clock is running during this event, but not so great when someone builds a clock and powers it up (or powe…

"evilandy" - That's quite a project, a lot more than I think I'd ever need! I'm not sure I get your point about auto DST though - it sounds like you are saying there is some relationship between having the GPS signal and adjusting the time for DST. …

I decided to use the upper right dot, at least as a temporary indicator. Easier than figuring out how to start/stop the blinking colon, but I do like that idea the best as it give and immediate and continuous indication that the clock's time is acc…

Outstanding project! You spec power usage at under 100 W, but no KwH data. Any ideas? Wondering if this would be a good replacement for the fridge in my camping trailer. I've got some experience doing AVR/PIC controlled heating. William

The "Ultimate GPS" module is incredibly sensitive. In my 1 story wood frame house, there is no location where it will not pick enough signal to set the clock. I would guess that in an apartment building it would have to be near a window though. An…

I just received an A5 from Adafruit a couple of days ago; it came with version 1 firmware. If you want to install new firmware, be sure you read the instructions about changing the baud rate (in the Sanguino boards.txt file), since the v1 bootloade…
