Simple Clock
Just clock that shows time, accurately.
Component base is very simple:
- Arduino NANO v3 chinese replica (on Atmega-168 chip)
- 7 segment 4 digit LED indicator with common anode, FYQ-5641BD-21 (red LEDs)
- 8 resistors that limiting current on LED segments, 330 Ohms, 0.25 watts
- RTC Module GEEGROW with DS1307 chip (very basic, only RTC chip, quartz resonator, button battery, no additional memory chip)
- 5x7 cm single side prototyping board
- usb phone charger as power supply
- 2 push buttons
- 1 on/off switch
- 1 photoresistor
- 1 resistor to make secund shoulder of photosensitive "bridge", 10 kOhms, 0.25 watts
- Gainta G521G enclosure (92x66.5x28мм)
- 5m power cord
Optionally you may need:
- Capasitor with well capacity if your charger has small capasitor on output
- Fuse, to protect your device
- DC/DC transformer if you have power supply that gives more than 5 volts or less than 4.5 volts (this will give additional surge protection if your power supply dies, this can happen after 3-5 years of uninterrupted work)
Additional Notes:
My RTC module is not very accurate due to bad quartz chrystal calibration, looks like it is not exactly 32768 Hz and clock runs faster than it should be, giving about 5-8 seconds runaway per day. So i have to implement time correction in software (temperature changes during day/month/year is not very big - about 10 degrees Celsius, so we can use software compensation without thermal compensation).
