hi i need a bit of help ppl i am building a clock but i cant understand the frequency that is required to run it correctly atm i am using a cd4060 chip with a crystal oscillator 32768hz the 4060 chip has an output of 2 hz which goes to the counter which is connected to the display but i am not including a display for seconds just minutes and hours would i need to change the 2hz to 0.02hz or is it fine like this.
ask any questions if i haven't fully explained
 
Hi Samus316,

If you are satisfied with a clock that runs 120 times faster,
that's OK with me ! :p

Hi Samus316,

You have to divide the 2 Hz by 120, to get one pulse every minute.
The frequency is 16,667 E-3 Hz.
