Explanation on usage of components
6 7-segment display (cathode) are used to display the time.2-7 segments are used for
hours, 2-7 segments are used for minutes,2-7 segments are used for seconds. Each 7 segments
are placed on each port by using decoder. The interrupt buttons will be used to pause and
resume .INT1 will used to pause the time as it is only used for low priority. INT0 will be used
to resume the time as it is only used for high priority. The interrupt buttons and the 6 butttons
to set the time are connected to PORTC. TMR0 will be used as 1 second delay as each second
passes, the result will be shown on the 7 segment display. RESET button is where the display
is reset to the initial display.

Operation
Initially the displays are set at 00:00:00. 6 buttons will be placed at PORTC. Each pair of
buttons will control hours ,minutes and seconds respectively. The buttons are used to increase
the respective value of displayed time.

Result and Discussion

In this project, we have successfully built a 24 hour digital clock. The clock runs from
00:00:00 to 23:59:59 and then back to 00:00:00. A total of six seven segment LED display
has been used to display the time. Each pair will display seconds, hours and minutes. When
the display reaches 23:59:59 the timer will be reset back to 00:00:00.

Two interrupts has been used to pause and resume the time. The pause button is used
to pause the running time. The time can only be adjusted after the running time is paused. The
resume button is whereas is used to resume the running time after the time has been set.
One reset button has been used to reset the running time. When this reset button is
pressed it is programmed to reset the running time to 00:00:00.
Six different button is used to adjust the display of each seven segment led display.
This button is used to adjust the time respectively. User must pause the running time in ordr
to use this button to adjust the time. Then time can be resume back using the resume button.

Conclusion

The objective of this project to build a digital clock has been meet. Besides that we
also has used 9 buttons to pause, resume, reset and adjust the time. The specification of this
project has been meet as the 24 hours digital clock is running successfully. There are several
8

modifications that can be done to improvise this digital clock. These modifications can
increase the functions of this digital clock making it technologically competent.

One of the ways we can improve this digital clock is by changing the 24 hours system
to 12 hours system. This can be done by using different sets of display which will display
a.m. and p.m.. This modification will enhance the precision of the digital clock as well as
make it easier to comprehend the timing. Besides that, we can also add settings to display the
date and day to incline the functionality of the digital clock. Last but not least, the program
can be altered to be used as timer.
