Following are a number of tools and platforms, both software and hardware, that we've found useful in making time-related work.
- Arduino - microcontrollers
- Raspberry Pi - Linux-based microprocessors
- Bantam Tools (formerly Othermill) CNC machines
- p5.js - browser-based JavaScript API based on Processing, written for beginning programmers.
- Vectorworks - we rely on the free educational version of Vectorworks' software for students and educators
- Suncalc is a javascript library for calculating the apparent position of the moon and sun given a date and latlong. Mooncalc is the same for the moon. This web app by Don Cross shows the movement on a map of many solar system objects, updating in real time as you move the map.
- Temporal - a proposal to update JavaScript's Date API. Includes non-gregorian calendars, simpler handling of timezones, integration with IANA timezone identifiers, and more. For a useful summary, see this blog post. Temporal is currently in the proposal stage for inclusion in the JavaScript core, as of July 2021.
- Gearotic CAD - tools for generating eccentric gears
- Chroma.js - a JavaScript API for all kinds of color conversions.
