The ArduClock continues (albeit very slowly)..I have fitted a Dark background LCD display (from eBay) – I think it looks better: still haven’t put it into a box yet.
new LCD Display
I am working on another clock/counter with 7 segment LEDs (HDSP-7503) High Efficiency Red – 7.5mm (0.4 inch) Char Height.
(I bought a lot of them recently) plus some huge 16 segment LEDS – see pic below..
LED size comparison
some changes have been made; the Arduino NG has been replaced by a BBB Rev D (atMEGA168); the LM75A by a DS18B20 and the display is now a 4×20 LCD unit. The Code needs some more work before posting…I now need a bigger box to put it into! I have a nice wooden box that used to contain code wheels, but it’s not quite big enough for the LCD display..
ArduinoClock - version 2!
Just using some bits and pieces, to prototype a desk clock/calendar with thermometer. So far we have an Arduino NG with a DS1307 RTC and a LM75A thermo sensor chip. The Clock/Calendar is working…
the proto layout...
Note that the “Temp:” has no value yet. I may rearrange the display to fit a 16×2 display better. Nearly all the bits are from eBay…
Futurlec have a really neat little GPS module for microcontrollers! Could be good for myCybot…if I ever get round to getting the Arduino motor controller going! Some pix…
A different view…
