Digital Wall Clock with Temperature Sensor using Arduino Kit
Project Domain / Category:
Digital Logic Designing / Embedded System Programming
Abstract / Introduction:
A digital clock is a type of clock that displays the time digitally (i.e. in numerals or other symbols), as opposed to an analog clock. To represent the time, most digital clocks use 7- segment displays. As the name indicates, each 7-segment display consists of seven LEDs (segment). Each segment is independent and when illuminated as a group with other 7-segment displays, forms part of a numerical digit (both Decimal and Hex) to be displayed.
In this project, we are going to design a digital wall clock using 7-segment displays to represent time as well as the room temperature. However, to display the digit, we will be designing each of the 7-segment display by own instead of taking the industry manufactured 7-segment displays as shown in the figure below:
Functional Requirements:
- The clock will display the current time in HH:MM AM/PM
- The clock must be able to display time in any format (12-hour or 24-hour format). To change the displayed time format, a toggle button will be
- The clock will display the room temperature in either Celsius (⁰c) and Fahrenheit (⁰F) scale. To change the temperature display format, a toggle button will be
- The clock will be equipped with a numeric keypad and control buttons to allow the user to change/update
- This will be a DC-powered digital wall clock which will be operated using a rechargeable battery and a DC
