There is no snapping, but the geneva drive will stay locked in position when it is not moving. The thing that I haven’t figured out is how to get the 3 to go back to 0 after 23:59, it needs to skip the numbers 4 to 9.

Ok thats making my brain hurt. I’m clearly not a mechanical engineer!

Just make it turn back by 3 clicks. If you’re watching the clock closely enough to notice at midnight you should go to bed anyway 🤷‍♂️

Seriously though, awesome project!
