Error in Clock Example Oct 19th, 2007, 11:22pm   The "Clock" example will be read an hour off in the back half of the hour; it treats hours as whole numbers when analog clocks have an hour hand that "sweeps" with the minutes. Code: float h = map(hour() % 12, 0, 12, 0, TWO_PI) - HALF_PI; wants to be: Code: float h = map(hour() + norm(minute(), 0, 60), 0, 24, 0, TWO_PI * 2) - HALF_PI; You can probably get away with the minutes being whole, but if you wanted them to "sweep" with the seconds, that line would look like: Code: float m = map(minute() + norm(second(), 0, 60), 0, 60, 0, TWO_PI) - HALF_PI;
