How to Make Digital Clock using Arduino and 16×2 LCD Display:
The clock we are going to make will display the hour, minute, and second in both the 12-hour and 24-hour format. We will also include a feature to adjust the time, so you don’t have to make changes manually. Here is the step by step guide to make a digital clock using Arduino and 16×2 LCD display.
Step 1: Gather the Parts of Digital Clock
Firstly, we need to gather all the parts required to build a digital clock. The complete list of all parts are provided above.
Step 2: Connect the Components
Once you have all the components ready, it’s time to connect them. First, connect the Arduino Nano and the 16×2 Display module with the help of jumpers wires according to the circuit diagram / schematic provided above. Next, attach all push buttons with the Arduino. Finally, attach the power supply and test the circuit.
Step 3: Upload the Code
After connecting all the components, it’s time to upload the code to the Arduino. You can use the Arduino integrated development environment (IDE) to upload the code. The link of the code for this project is already provided in the list of components section. You can download all files and copy and paste the code in the IDE, or you can write the code yourself.
Conclusion:
Making a digital clock using Arduino and 16×2 LCD display is a fun project that anyone with basic knowledge of electronics can create. It’s a great way to learn about sensors, actuators, and other devices that you can use with Arduino. With the help of this article, you can build your own digital clock and learn about the basics of electronics and programming. Have fun making your project!
