Build digital clock using HT16K33 with DS3107 with Arduino

Using this code shown in the video, we build a digital clock using seven segment display wiht HT16K33 module and DS1307 Real time clock module with Arduino.

Libraries needed for this project

1-DS1307 RTClib library (and watch video instruction)
2-HT16K33 Library (and watch video instruction)
Both libraries are available for download from links below.
