  • 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 5 Unlimited Alarm with Relay. This code is to have unlimited alarm so you can control multiple devices at different times. We defined an output pin for each alarm to turn it ON or OFF using each alarm. Each alarm can have title to identify them and it will be printed on the serial monitor.
