Real Time Clock PCF8583 Using AVR microcontroller Using Atmega

Description The PCF8583 is a clock/calendar circuit based on a 2048-bit static CMOS RAM organized as 256 words by 8 bits. Addresses and data are transferred serially via the two-line bidirectional I2C-bus. The built-in word address register is incremented automatically after each written or read data byte. Address pin A0 is used for programming the hardware address, allowing the …

ATTiny2313 Multi-mode LED Matrix Clock Using Atmega

This is a mutli-mode clock project based on attiny2313. it employs a 8×8 led matrix as display. with the limited resolution, this 12 hour clock shows time in 6 different modes. The circuit employs row and column multiplexing to drive the leds, one row at a time, this gives a 12.5% duty cycle when “sets” of leds (8 of them …

Binary Clock

Arduino Powered Binary Clock using ATmega168 microcontroller

This instructable will help you to build an Arduino Binary Clock.  The orignial idea for this instructable was designed by Daniel Andrade.  My instructable uses surface mount components, but can easily be adapted to through-hole components if you wish.  You can follow my other Instructable for Building Your Own Arduino to get started. I would encourage you to …
