- Build the clock body on tinker
- Place a cylinder in the middle of the build plate
- Place a smaller cylinder inside of it but make it hole and have it lifted up a biot from the floor
- Then group both of the cylinders together
- Then place a box in the middle of one of the sides of the cylinders and group them
- Then place two paraboloid on opposite side of the cylinder and group them to the body
Wiring Up Aurduino
- Connect the wires to the arduino,display and the RTC chip
- Then through the use of a solder iron and solder soldered all three grounds lines together
- Then connect both VCC lines with the 5v line
- Then connect both SDA lines with A4 line
- Then connect both SCL lines with A5 line
- Then solder all connected wires
- Once that is all done wrap all exposed wires with electrical tape.
Setting Up Arduino
- Program the arduino so that it tells the display to tell the correct time
- Go and run the arduino program
- Go and use the code that is on Circuit Basic to program your arduino
- Then click on tools and go to manage libraries
- Then include Wire.h, LiquidCrystal_I2C.h, and RTClib.h
- Go and click the check mark that says verify
- Then go back to tools and click on serial monitor and in the interface enter u and then you should get the prompt to enter the time and date.

- Place the wiring and arduino inside of the clock body
- Then add a battery to the arduino and close it up
- Then place the head on top of the body
