Voice Activated One Bird Clock

Firmly say "Time" and this bird will count the hours by bobbing forward and the minutes (in multiples of five) by bobbing backward.  He does a little "wobble" between hours and minutes so that you will know, "the times, they are a changing."





 

Step 1

An Arduino "listens" for sounds and operates a servo motor to display the time.

Step 3, the first image is the schematic. Try clicking on the small "i" in the upper left corner of the drawing, then you can choose the large size and see it more clearly.
