Improved Clock Driver Circuit

An updated clock driver circuit for a 3D printed stepper motor driven clock with large exposed gears.

This new design is:
Quieter
More accurate
Uses easy to find parts
Uses common stepper motor
Calibrates automatically

It is an update to the silent stepper motor clock at https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-silent-desk-clock-183452

The new design uses a CNC Shield V4, Arduino Nano, TMC2208 driver, DS3231 precision real time clock, and a standard NEMA17 stepper motor. All components are available from the standard places such as Amazon. The TMC2208 makes the clock run completely silent. The DS3231 RTC has an accuracy of about a minute per year. The remaining parts are 3D printed.
