The Clock Project

About the project

I created this clock for everyone who is interested in electronics. Even if you have never designed any electronics before, by following this step-by-step youtube tutorial you will design and manufacture this clock.

Story

This is a nice clock with big segments and you can set color and intesity of each segment. There are three buttons, buzzer, light sensor and RTC with battery backup. The clock is powered through USB C and has features such current time, timer and stopwatch. Feel free to add your own features!

Why I designed this clock?

  • it's a very simple project, so it was fun
  • I often need a clock with big display and the right color and intensity when checking time in the middle of the night without my glasses on
  • I often need a simple timer or stopwatch for example when cooking

The clock has three modes: Clock, Stopwatch and Timer. To switch between the modes press the buttons. The clock has battery backed RTC to keep the time always accurate. A simple web interface can be used to change default settings. I will write more detialed manual if there is interest.
