Lesson 105: Ultimate Arduino Clocks projects using DS1307

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

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 1 Basic DS1307 Clock with Arduino where we build a clock which is displayed on the serial monotor of computer.
