Lesson 105: Ultimate Arduino Clocks projects using DS1307

Please select other codes for this lecture from the links below.

  • Lesson 19: Introduction to LCD screen
  • Lesson 25: Introduction to HT16K33 Seven Segment Display
  • Purchase LCD Screen from Amazon USA
  • Purchase LCD Screen from Amazon Canada
  • Purchase LCD Screen from all other Amazon
  • Part 13: Clock and Timers

    This in this lesson we have 7 projects in one. We learn how use DS1307 Real-Time Clock (RTC) module to build a clock using Arduino.

    This is project 6 LCD Clock using DS1307 RTC module. We learn how to display a full calendar and clock on LCD1602 or LCD2004 LCD display. We use LCD screen with the I2C module wich allowes us to have only 4 wire.

    Projects

    • Project 1: Basic DS1307 Clock with Arduino
    • Project 2: DS1307 Alarm with Buzzer and Relay
    • Project 3: DS1307 Alarm with Relay and AC Bulb
    • Project 4: LED Seven Segment Clock using DS1307
    • Project 5: Unlimited Alarm with Relay(this project)
    • Project 6: LCD Clock using DS1307(this project)
    • Project 7: LCD Clock with Alarm
