When it comes to educational electronic projects, it’s hard to go past building a clock. You learn tons about everything from circuit concepts and assembly skills to insights about the very nature of ...

If you’ve got an old black and white TV, it’s probably not useful for much. There are precious few analog broadcasters left ...

Maintain accurate time while powered. Provide real-time time and date information to Arduino. Allow Arduino to set or reset the time as needed. Generate time-based data for display or logging.

Maker Michael Klements has built a unique electromechanical clock using a little Arduino hardware, code, and 28 servos, which tilt panels to reveal the correct time in digital format. As the time ...

The past month or so I’ve been playing with the Maxim DS1307 Real-Time-Clock and DS1621 Temperature Sensor ICs. I hooked them up to an Arduino Uno board with a Parallax Serial 16×2 Character LCD. I ...

The most popular RTC for the Arduino is the DS1307. However, it does have some drawbacks, the most notable of which is that its operating voltage is 5v, which means it cannot be used with 3.3v ...

If you are building Internet of Things (IoT) projects, the ability to receive real-time alerts is a game-changer. Arduino, a prominent player in the IoT space, has introduced a new feature to its ...
