arduino lcd display clock factory

The post explains about how to make clock and calendar using internal timers of arduino uno. No external RTC(real time clock) is used on the project. Only Arduino internal tick timer(delay function) is utilized to build clock and calendar system with arduino uno. Clock and calendar with Arduino is a complex project, since the code is too lengthy it will be difficult to understand the code flow. Before beginning i assume that you have basic knowledge of number of days in a week, number of weeks in a month, number of months in a year, number of days in months, number of days in a year and about leap year. The project clock and calendar with arduino is designed keeping in mind all the key features of clock and calendar. If you know about all the key features of clock and calendar than you can easily understand the code below.

Time and date are displayed on 16×2 character lcd. To set time and date a 4×4 keypad in interfaced with arduino to input the date and time. Character lcd 16×2 is interfaced with Arduino(Microcontroller board) in 4-bit mode. Coulombs of keypad are connected to Pin 0,1,2,3 of arduino and rows are connected to Pins 4,5,6 & 7. Circuit diagram of the project is given below. Lcd data pins are connected to arduino pins#8,9,10,11. Lcd rs(register select) pin is connected to pin#13 of arduino. Lcd E(enable) pin is connected to pin#12 of arduino. Lcdr/w(read/write)pin is grounded directly, to only perform the write operation, no read operation.

Whenyou first upload the code/sketch in arduino uno. A message will pop up on 16×2 character lcd asking to input date (year,month,day) and time(hour,minute). You have to enter the current date and time. Once you input the time and date clock will start working automatically.

After the time input seconds will be displayed on lcd and starts to increment one by one.When seconds reach to 60 a minute will be incremented and seconds starts to count again from 0. When hours reaches to 24 date will be incremented. When date reaches the month end month will be incremented and when its end of December year will be incremented. All the months and year days logic are included in the code. Code has the ability to recognize a leap year and increment calendar days like leap year.

If you want to adjust time and date at any time just press 1 on keypad. A message will popup on 16×2 character lcd asking to input time and date. If you input any wrong information like you input seconds=70 or minutes=63 System will take it as an error and inform you at the instance that you inputted the wrong data. All the necessary checks are included in the code.

In today"s world, time is everything, and when it comes to specific electronics, timing is critical; just like us, humans, they also need a way to keep track of time. So how do electronics do it? The answer is DS3231, a Real-Time Clock, often known as an RTC, is a timekeeping device built into an Integrated Circuit, or IC. It is used in many time-critical applications and devices, such as servers, GPS, and data loggers. Let"s see what makes it TICK.

The DS3231 is an I2C real-time clock (RTC) with an inbuilt temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) and crystal that is both low-cost and exceptionally precise. When the module"s power is interrupted, the device has a battery input and keeps a precise time. The device"s long-term precision is improved by the inclusion of the crystal oscillator. The RTC keeps track of seconds, minutes, hours, days, dates, months, and years. For months with less than 31 days, the date at the end of the month is automatically modified, including leap year corrections. The clock has an AM/PM indication and works in either a 24-hour or 12-hour mode. Two programmable time-of-day alarms are included, as well as a programmable square-wave output. An I2C bidirectional bus is used to transport address and data serially.

After making the above connections, you need to connect the Arduino UNO to your PC, open Arduino IDE, and install Arduino DS3231 Time Set Library. Open the Arduino IDE and select Library Manager from the menu bar. Now look for RTCLiband DS3231 and get the most recent version, as shown in the figure below.

We include the below header files to the code, Wire.h to use I2C to communicate with the module, LiquidCrystal.h to show time on the LCD display, RTClib.h to set time to the display and format it.

If in case the RTC loses power and the time in the module goes wrong, the code will automatically set the time in the module and it will take the time from the computer"s clock. So make sure while setting time, the clock on your PC is set at the right time.

This is a single-chip controller/driver for 262K-color, graphic type TFT-LCD.  It consists of 396 source line and 162 gate line driving circuits. This chip is capable of connecting directly to an external microprocessor, and accepts Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), 8-bit/9-bit/16-bit/18-bit parallel interface.

I am trying to create a clock on an LCD when I upload the code below, all it displays is a very rapidly flashing 0:00 PM. Please help. This is my first time using Millis.

Welcome to ProteShea – in this project, you’ll be learning how to interface a Real-Time Clock (RTC) to the Arduino Uno to acquire the time, date, day of the week, Unix time, and even temperature. We’ll cover three different examples where we send the data to the Serial Monitor, send the data to a 20×4 LCD, and turn on an LED on a certain day of the week. Time is running out, so let’s get started!

The DS3231 RTC is used to accurately provide the day of the week, date (DD/MM/YYYY), time, Unix time, and even temperature. There is a 32kHz crystal and a temperature sensor internally. The temperature sensor is used to provide feedback to the crystal since temperature effects the frequency (i.e., clock drift) of the crystal. We are using Adafruit’s DS3231 RTC breakout board which breaks out 8 pins: Vin, GND, SCL, SDA, BAT, 32k, SQW, and an active-low RST. We will only be using pins Vin, GND, SCL, and SDA. A table of specifications for the module is shown below.

Once you have initialized the original day, time, and date, comment out those three functions, and upload the new sketch. The Serial Monitor will display the current day, date (DD.MM.YYYY), time (in a 24-hour format), and Unix time (number of seconds that have elapsed since 1 January 1970), as shown in the image below. Make sure that the baud rate is set to 115200.

For the second sketch, we are writing the date, time, Unix time, and temperature to the 20×4 LCD instead of the Serial Monitor. The sketch is below as well as an image of what is displayed on the LCD.
