Story I went for a shower one day, was getting late for office. Running tight on time, but I didn’t want to come out of hot shower in cold morning. Without any clock in my bathroom I was saying to myself “Lets enjoy the shower for few more minutes, I might be over estimating the […]
Most microcontrollers are time-agnostic, meaning they are unaware of the time around them, but that’s ok as most things we make have no need for it. But… every once in awhile you come up with an idea that requires knowing the actual time. Mostly this is used for data-logging, or creating this year’s newest clock.

Raising from bed can be the most painful thing you could ever do. We often set alarms to wake up but ends up in snoozing it out or even kick the alarms away. To address this we have come up with an Arduino project ” IQ alarm clock ” which will annoy you until you

This topic shows how to interface Arduino with DS1307 real time clock to make a clock and calender. To understand the project and code easily you have to read the datasheet of the DS1307. DS1307 Pin assignment: The picture is taken from ds1307 datasheet and it shows the pin assignment of our chip RTC: Arduino

Every once in a while there is a question in the Arduino forum on how fast you can toggle an IO pin. The answer to this question depends on your line of thinking / what you will allow as an answer. So here is my take on performance optimization for its own sake. First of
About this project Reasoning about time by printing onto the surface of a river Maybe you know situations when time’s running up. In German there is a metaphor for that and translated it would be something like “time trickles away“. Having this saying in mind and thinking of how to ‘imagine’ time the following idea
This product allows you to set separate turn-on and turn-off times and those repeat every day. The disadvantage of this product is that, as the seasons change, you need to constantly adjust the turn-on and turn-off times. As illustrated in Figure 1, the variation over the year (in sunset time in this example) is very
Story This project was inspired by someone else who made an Arduino time-lapse dolly (suprise surprise). However that project was published some years back and I have lost the link to it. Of course time-lapse is not that exciting anymore but 5 years ago it was. The thing about this specific project that really got
I have done several designs of digital clocks for Arduino using LEDs and LCD displays, but this one is more special because I added other features like alarm and motion sensor (PIR). Main features PIR (Presence Infrared Sensor) RTC (real-time clock) Alarm Temperature Humidity Water dew point Encoder to set the time and alarm Permanent

Story After designing the “Clock Set Date Time” and hearing the suggestion of ArduPic , I thought it would be a good idea and also useful, add a “wake-up alarm.” A small change to the code and adding a few components: Here’s “the Alarm Clock“. Compared to the previous project, I added a buzzer Piezzo,
