Final Code for Major Project

/*this code is for a multiple format clock that can display the current time in decimal, binary, hex, octal and roman numerals.
The hardware needed for this project is an arduino, ds1307 rtc and a 16x2 character lcd.
Code heavily influenced by code found here : http://www.sullivan-county.com/ele/arduino_ds1307.htm
Code written by Perrin McKenzie for IN620, 2010

Code For Major

This is partially finished code. It currently reads the time from the RTC, converts the values from hex into decimal (this makes the logic easier). Those values are then converted to the base value that is selected for display on the screen. The time shown on the screen can also be selected between 24hr time and AM/PM. The time stored on the RTC can also be adjusted using wired buttons by simultaneously holding the time button and pressing the hour or minute buttons (but the changes are not visible until the time button is released).

Circuit for Major Project

Major Project

My major project has taken inspiration from the Epoch Alarm Clock. My clock will operate the same except for some removed functions (Namely alarm and the ability to display roman characters). I will be able to display time in decimal, Binary, octal and hex. All number systems will be displayed in either 24hr or am/pm format. The clock will also simultaneous display either Unix Epoch Time or Current date depending on what the user sets (Unix time is proving difficult to calculate so may not be included in the final release). This is all displayed on a 16x2 character LCD with time being regulated by a DS1307 RTC. The project will be displayed in an alarm clock using the original buttons (some will have different functions than the ones labeled though) to manipulate the time displayed.

How many Arduino's? (Task 23)

The Arduino Mega is a board that is code compatible with Arduino Duemilanove. It runs an Atmega1280 (instead of a 168 or 328). As a result it has a greater number of digital pins (54 vs 14), PWM pins (14 vs 6) and analog inputs (16 vs 6).
