Step 9 The finished clock

Glue the marbles by using a dab of hotglue and it's done!

Apply 5 volt to it and bask in its glory.... :-)

Thanks for the project, quite informative. However, please forgive the ignorance, how do pass the C code you provided to the chip?

You need a programmer. This instructable has a nice description of a DAPA cable, which uses a parallel port. You can also make a DASA or ponyser cable, all of which can be found with a little googling or here. These are all in the class of bitbang programmers. If you want more professional porgrammers, you can consider a USBtinyISP, made by Adafruit Industries

OOPS! I forgot the most important thing! You need WinAVR to compile and burn the code. It includes programmer's notepad and avrdude to do all this. LINK.

(This is for the windows platform. I am not sure if they have done a mac or linux port yet.)
