I spent a week near Al\u00e8s in the south of France, sharing tricks with the multi-talented William Brossard, founder of Artimachines<\/a>. We started building a hybrid cuckoo clock using various techniques ranging from walnut tree sanding to Raspberry pi programming. The coucou bird is working nicely, coming out of a circular door designed by William. The clock runs on a Raspberry Pi fitted with an Adafruit PiTFT<\/a> monitor. The bird and door are controlled by an Arduino Uno<\/a> and a L298 motor controller<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am thinking of changing the display as the PiTFT display is dim in daylight and when seen at an angle.
