There has been some talk about electronic sundials lately. A magazine here
in England has published a design for a Musical Sundial !!!
The publication is the June 1999 edition of Everyday Practical Electronics
/ ETI.(Volume 28 No 6).
The music is provided by a process control computer and the dial is not
laid out correctly as it is a flat plate with 15 degree hour spacing.The
tune / chimes are triggered by the shadow of a vertical gnomon crossing a
sensor.The code to run the PIC is available on the net.
The magazine can be contacted at http://www.epemag.wimborne.co.uk.
 This is their web site but you can go forward from there !!!!
