it's merely impossible to make a analog clock using rotating hard disk as a display..
i googled a moment ago and ALL of them uses a microcontroller para
mag display nang "analog" look na clock.

ganun po b.. my nakita po kc kong gnyan project d2 sa net. nagssurf po kc ko ng mga thesis proj n pdeng magawa.. taz nakita ko yan hddclock  w/ lcd touchscreen controller

Quote
"opened the hard drive and removed the read/write arm (including magnetic heads) as well as the voice coil magnets and arm cables.  There were five platters but we only need the topmost and bottommost platters.  When we removed the middle three platters, we had to account for their height and inserted an extra spacer to keep all the two platters and spacers tight and prevent vibration.

Next, we had to cut a slit 1/8 inch wide in the first platter.  We used a dremmel tool with a grinder attachment which cut through the plate without any problems.  Next we drilled three holes on each of the three sides of the drive for the LEDs.

The LEDs were mounted in the holes with a skillful use of the glue gun.  We soldered the wires directly to the LEDs and ran them to the breadboard.  Similarly, the optical slot switch was mounted on the yellow arm stop fixture.

Cut out a white circle of paper and glued it to the bottom plate to reflect and diffuse the light from the LEDs.   After everything was complete, we put the top platter back on.

The drive was ready…"

kaso di ko po tlga makuha kung panu mgdidisplay ng analog clock..

hmm kung d po tlga posible yan.. pde po bang makahingi nalang ng tips.. or some ideas to create a thesis topic title similar or related to a digital clock ???
