Cyber clock
By Ben Everard. Posted
Ah, the Tesla Cybertruck. Its angular, low-poly bodywork means that it’s unlikely ever to pass the Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme) safety standards that govern what we can drive in the UK. Apparently Europeans have soft, fleshy bodies made out of meat, which deform unfortunately when wrapped around angular stainless steel objects built without crumple zones. What these faceless Brussels Eurocrats don’t understand is that human life isn’t that important compared with looking really cool. The maker of this project, gokux, reckoned the Cybertruck’s flat planes would make the perfect case for a desk clock, and by golly, they were right.
The Cyber Clock can not only tell you the time, but also the humidity and temperature thanks to its on-board DHT11 sensor, displayed on a 1.5-inch transparent OLED screen via a Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C3.
This is such a polished build – the maker has had an idea and executed it perfectly. Even the wheels go round on the 3D-printed Cybertruck’s body. Add a 500mAh battery and USB-C charging, and you’ve got the perfect executive toy for the billionaire who has everything.
