Project Help and Ideas » Clock Display (RTC + LED Matrix)
September 21, 2010 by jbremnant |
My wife recently asked me if I can make a digital clock from all the microcontrollers and electronic parts I've been playing with. She wanted to teach our son how to read the clock, and so she goes, "if you can make something useful out of your hobby, I'll be pretty impressed". :-O them challenging words.. Ok, so I set out to create a digital clock with atmega168 and 32x8 led matrix from sure electronics I had laying around. The first things that came to my mind:
Long story short, I completed it, and here are the components that make up the completed clock_display:
Here are the pictures And the link to tar file containing code and Makefile. Let me know if you are looking to implement something similar, I'll be happy to share what little I know. :-) And thanks for nerdkits staff for introducing me to this cool hobby. |
