Maybe you've created your own AR program for wearables that shows the definition of a word when you highlight it IRL, or you've built a personal calendar app for your family to display on a monitor in the kitchen. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear it.

I re-created a stock ticker machine. I saw an article about them on here and thought "oh that would be cool to have one, lets try and buy one" I realised that they cost $4k+.

So I made my own. https://www.secretbatcave.co.uk/projects/stock-ticker-machin...

Its not strictly electro mechanical like the original, that was too far out of my mechanical design skills.
