So we went the stepper route and ended up opening this show with a clock that didn't have hands.... the most embarrassing moment of my career.... I would recommend staying away from individually controlled hands, steppers/ servos and Arduino if at all possible. We use a DC motor scavenged off...

Try this one! All those numbers are LED tape light boxes.

Hold tight its a permissions thing

Our CC clock 25' diameter controlled with 1 dc motor and Creative corners gear. Setup like a real clock. PM me your email and I can send some details.

I'm having a heck of a time getting this setup to even move. Finally got some movement out of the steppers last night. I was able to change speed but not distance. Right now I'm just focusing on trying to understand the programming side of things before I add in the DMX sheild. ANy info or...

Thanks for the info! two stepper motors 1 for each hand. I was thinking I would que this monster with something like showexpress and really deal with it more like pan and tilt on a mover to get the hands where i want them. The run of the ques would just be a push of the que button on the screen...
