now i know this query must have been posted a million times not only in this forum, but in all the other forums that have anything to do with electronics.
here goes: HOW TO BUILD A DAMN DIGITAL CLOCk?!!
why not be the first in history of the internet to answer it?
yep! i have serched all the possible sites, no simple answer anywhere. this is my last hope.
ok guys, pls answer. i am not an electronics student, but an IT student. So I hope you understand my problem.
i know how to build a clock using a 555 timer with a counter. but it aint accurate enough, or so it seems.
i don't need any fancy mechanism to set the time, alarm etc etc..., just a simple clock that runs on DC power. i repeat, 'DC'. it may start from 00:00 no problem.
preferably a microcontroller without using a crystal ocsillator.
or just tell me how to get a pulse for half a sec, so that it can be fed to a counter and 7 segment display and stuff. and don't forget to explain how it works, only the clock generator part, i'll manage the remaining counter and 7 seg display part.
pls excuse me for a long post, but pls try to answer.
