Single-board computers or SBCs like the Arduino and the Raspberry Pi made it super cheap to put decent computers inside those DIY contraptions, while 3D printers made it possible to dream up your own designs. Sure, you might still need to be comfortable using a soldering iron for some projects, but the end results often make it worth the singes. You can, for example, easily create digital versions of analog tools that retain most of the design, just without the messy parts.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: Engineercly<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-372869\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/04\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/digital-hourglass-09.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/04\/05\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This DIY digital hourglass delivers a retro feeling without the messy sand\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/04\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/digital-hourglass-09.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-372869\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/04\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/digital-hourglass-09.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/04\/05\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This DIY digital hourglass delivers a retro feeling without the messy sand\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/04\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/digital-hourglass-09.jpg\">\n<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-372870\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/04\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/digital-hourglass-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/04\/05\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This DIY digital hourglass delivers a retro feeling without the messy sand\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/04\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/digital-hourglass-13.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-372870\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/04\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/digital-hourglass-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/04\/05\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This DIY digital hourglass delivers a retro feeling without the messy sand\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/04\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/digital-hourglass-13.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"cdfe440c27da938ba40a1913-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"cdfe440c27da938ba40a1913-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Everyone has a smartphone these days, and all smartphones come with some sort of timer <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>.

There is also a bit of coding involved, especially in animating how the LEDs light up to mimic falling sand. That part is actually what makes the entire endeavor rather impressive, given how it can use motion (technically an accelerometer) to control the \u201cmovement\u201d of the sand, and the lights adjust accordingly as if they were actually movable solid objects.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-372877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/04\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/digital-hourglass-06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/04\/05\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This DIY digital hourglass delivers a retro feeling without the messy sand\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/04\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/digital-hourglass-06.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-372877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/04\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/digital-hourglass-06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/04\/05\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This DIY digital hourglass delivers a retro feeling without the messy sand\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/04\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/digital-hourglass-06.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-372878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/04\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/digital-hourglass-07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/04\/05\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This DIY digital hourglass delivers a retro feeling without the messy sand\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/04\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/digital-hourglass-07.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-372878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/04\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/digital-hourglass-07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/04\/05\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This DIY digital hourglass delivers a retro feeling without the messy sand\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/04\/this-diy-digital-hourglass-delivers-a-retro-feeling-without-the-messy-sand\/digital-hourglass-07.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>DIY projects like these often make people raise their eyebrows, especially after seeing all the components and work involved in making them. Beyond being an enjoyable pastime for hobbyists and makers, it is also a demonstration of how far we\u2019ve come in enabling such creations without being at the mercy of large companies and production plants. It\u2019s not only an enabler but also a source of inspiration for budding designers and engineers who want to take a whack at this more democratic way of creating things.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img
