DIY Calculator Watch Does Algebra, Recalls Adolescent Persecution
Remember those Casio scientific calculator watches? Yeah, yeah . . . we got roughed up for wearing one too. Anyway, engineer David Jones is launching a DIY site for building one using Radioshack-accessible components.
"The project sat in the too-hard basket for a few years until I stumbled upon a 53mm x 20mm compact 16×2 line LCD," says Jones on the site. "I got one and sat it on my wrist, and it didn’t look too big. ‘Hey, this might be do-able,’ I thought, and the project was resurrected."
Jones’s prototype is the real deal too. In addition to regular four function calculations, it’s also got a host of scientific functions. The only thing missing from this equation-busting piece of tech? A sense of style.
