Manual adjust for RTC clock with Arduino and 7-segment LED display

   For a good clock must use a RTC (real-time clock) like DS1307. For Arduino enthusiasts and hobbylist exists some RTC module with DS1307, but you can made yourself a good RTC module like me.
   Original schematic is from DS1307 datasheet, but I redesigned schematic using freeversion of Eagle PCB Software:
   Note: Battery is CR2032, like in schematic... in boards is a little error

   A full schematic for RTC clock with Arduino is:

   Compared to other schematics that can adjust time (reset clock at 0:00, adjust hours and minutes). Original schematic, design and sketch is from article Using Arduino with a DS1307 Real Time Clock by Lewis Loflin.
   If you want to change time, must push and hold S3 (adjust) switch and display is change on 0:00, then push S1 (hour) or S2 (minute) repeatedly until time is ok, after this realise S3, and time is put in RTC.
   I use a multiplexed 4-digit 7-segment display with common anode same in article named Arduino UNO running 4-digit 7-segment display from http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/. Is a unusual schematic, but works fine; a usual schematic use resistors for current limit.
   My sketch is:

    1. you must comment line:
      RTC.adjust(DateTime(__DATE__, __TIME__));
      // if you need set clock... just remove // from line above this
      ===>
      // RTC.adjust(DateTime(__DATE__, __TIME__));
      // if you need set clock... just remove // from line above this

    1. not work perfect. must make ic hex converter. do you know this ic ?

      Delete
    2. 1) work good for me...
      2) if you use Arduino board you cand you cand upload sketh directly...
      3) if you want to put a hex in ATmega328P-PU at 16MHz, I cat put a hex file.. but I want to see first the article from http://www.jameco.com/Jameco/workshop/JamecoBuilds/arduinocircuit.html?CID=arduinobuild and after you read.. I wait you "review"

    3. i made it, on breadboard with 0,36" 7 segment clock from your sketch. it's perfectly. i am publishing in youtube : https://youtu.be/IHLKxl0Hk0s

      Delete
    4. furthermore, I want to enlarge a digital clock with a 3 inch 7 segment, but not perfect or all segments lit all. became number 8 continues without following the digclock small (0.36 ")

    6. you can't upload directlly photos in blog, but you have 2 ways:
      1) you put photo on free server like http://tinypic.com/ and than you put link in "replay",
      2) send me photos and if I like them, I put in article with your name in comment

  5. my sketches are based on http://cdn.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Components/LED/_7Seg_Example.pde sketch and inside is text:
    "//Display brightness
    //Each digit is on for a certain amount of microseconds
    //Then it is off until we have reached a total of 20ms for the function call
    //Let's assume each digit is on for 1000us
    //If each digit is on for 1ms, there are 4 digits, so the display is off for 16ms.
    //That's a ratio of 1ms to 16ms or 6.25% on time (PWM).
    //Let's define a variable called brightness that varies from:
    //5000 blindingly bright (15.7mA current draw per digit)
    //2000 shockingly bright (11.4mA current draw per digit)
    //1000 pretty bright (5.9mA)
    //500 normal (3mA)
    //200 dim but readable (1.4mA)
    //50 dim but readable (0.56mA)
    //5 dim but readable (0.31mA)
    //1 dim but readable in dark (0.28mA) "
    for me and my Arduino board is ok 500 as maximum value for display brightness.. you can test bigger value...

    ReplyDelete
  6. ok, thank you very much.
    I try brightness of 5000, but no effect in all 7 segment. Second / dot lights up to 5 seconds, 5 seconds off.

    I want to try some of your tutorial. very nice

  10. Hi.

    I just tried to builde clock and I have problem. After wired and upload sketch to arduino I see on the display 66.65 with blinking dot for all the time.
    After presing S3 i see 00.00 and I can modyfi that value by pressing S1 and s2 buton, but after relice S3 display come back to 66.65.

    Do anyone have any ide what go wrong?

    THX in advance for any answer
