*2 Stepper Motors -- probably can be salvaged from printers or 5 1/4 disk drives ( where I got mine )

* Arduino -- mine is a nano, but pretty much anything with 8 io pins should do

*PIC16F877 processor -- Others can be used, but this guy has a lot of IO, quite a bit is used for the clock
*Low side Driver Chip -- but any transistors with reasonable beta and enough current handling capacity could be substituted.

* Raspberry Pi -- I think any model will do, or use any PC that can run Python.
 
 
*Case -- With a bit more work than I have done you could have a really nice case.  I am working on an oak one now

*Clock Face --  Some good artwork here could make a really good looking clock, anyone willing to send me an high quality graphics file?

* Python 3.6, could be adapted to 2.7 where it was originally developed, but I have finally moved on
 
* Wire, usb cables, misc boards, including if you wish prototyping boards ( how sloppy ).
