All: I submit at Kevins request.
This project started about 3 or so years ago and took about 12-15 months to complete.
So, this being said the project has long been completed.
The Project went like this:
Kev calls and requests I build a Qlock3, Qty: Build 2. Ended up building 3.
Their are so many pics. Ill have to revisit why etc for them but first Ill upload all the pics.
The Qlock3 itself: Premised on the one and only QLOCKTWO
And beautiful it is…
However… For our purposes it falls short in a couple of places. (for us that is)
1: Its too small
2: Do not really like the 4 outer leds.
More explaining to come….
The Final outcome:
How we got their.

The Chassis it self.
