I guess i will save the "flip-project" for later, kind of upgrading the clock.
so for now i will stick with servos, i dont know how to multiplex, so i will use an arduino mega board ( i can use up to 48 servos ) i wrote this code for running the hole thing :
// include libraries
#include "Wire.h"
#include "Servo.h"
Servo *hourServos[] = {hour_servo1, hour_servo2, hour_servo3, hour_servo4, hour_servo5, hour_servo6, hour_servo7, hour_servo8, hour_servo9, hour_servo10, hour_servo11, hour_servo12, hour_servo13, hour_servo14};
Servo *min_ten_Servos[] = {min_ten_servo1, min_ten_servo2, min_ten_servo3, min_ten_servo4, min_ten_servo5, min_ten_servo6, min_ten_servo7, min_ten_servo8, min_ten_servo9, min_ten_servo10, min_ten_servo11, min_ten_servo12, min_ten_servo13, min_ten_servo14};
Servo *min_one_Servos[] = {min_one_servo1, min_one_servo2, min_one_servo3, min_one_servo4, min_one_servo5, min_one_servo6, min_one_servo7, min_one_servo8, min_one_servo9, min_one_servo10, min_one_servo11, min_one_servo12, min_one_servo13, min_one_servo14};

int realhour = 0;
int hours = 0;
int minutes = 0;
// Convert normal decimal numbers to binary coded decimal
byte decToBcd(byte val)
{
return ( (val/10*16) + (val%10) );
}

{
return ( (val/16*10) + (val%16) );
}

*minute = bcdToDec(Wire.receive());
*hour = bcdToDec(Wire.receive() & 0x3f);
*dayOfWeek = bcdToDec(Wire.receive());
*dayOfMonth = bcdToDec(Wire.receive());

1 ) - i have problems setting time with buttons ... i cant figure out how to do it ?
it is specially, how can can get the servos to react when sitting the time .. so can visualize the time setting ( if that made sense )
any suggestions on how to do it ?
