DIY RGB PROGRAMMABLE CLOCK

In this vlog we will talk about how we can make a DIY REB PROGRAMMABLE CLOCK overself at home

Hello guys, welcome back to another interesting blog of YK Electrical. In this blog we will make a DIY RED PROGRAMMABLE CLOCK.

It is an addressable multi-core real time digital clock that comes with an RTC module.In this digital clock you can program the color and effects of the LEDs.

Ordering PCb from any PCB manufacturing company is quite simple and easy.

First we create a PCB layout using the mentioned circuit diagram and download the gerber file. After download the gerber file I visited the “ALL PCB” website

All PCB is the fastest PCB manufactured in China and you will get your first PCB absolutely free. Here simply we have to fill in the basic requirements like PCBs height weight and quantity then simply click on the quote now then select the PCB color, then select the pricing and your country after that upload the Gerber file then click on checkout and select the shipping address and payment method then click on submit.

Here I am sharing the “All PCB” website link:https://www.allpcb.com/activity/free-pcb-prototype-2021.html?code=yt18

After ordering the PCB it takes 5-6 days to deliver your PCB.

This is our today project PCB layout

And this is 3D model of this PCB 

I received my PCB 5 days after ordering. Honestly the quality of the PCBs is fantastic

The components we have used here are all good and high quality components. To do this project very good quality components need to be used because if we don't use good quality components then the project will not work well. For that i would prefer him to buy all components in “WinSource Electronic”. Because they are providing very good quality components.All the components we used here are bought from here.

Here I will shear WinSource Electronic website https://www.win-source.net/

Digital clocks are a very useful component of our lives. Regarding this change the need for accurate and simple materials is also dramatically increasing. Our proposed project uses very simple logic devices to build an accurate synchronous digital clock that is expected to satisfy yourself.

Our proposed system will be using a RTC to make the synchronous counter that counts the hour and minutes.

Let's go to assemble the PCB board .

1st Step:

In our PCB on each side we have to three pin headers

So on one side we are going to connect the male header pins and on the other side we will connect the female header pin. Now we connect header pin in both side and its look like this 

In this project we need 4 this type of PCBs, like this 

2nd Step : 

So in this way there is no need for extra jumper wires and we can connect them directly one after another using pin header, like this 

3rd Step:

Now we need to a few components as discussed earlier

                           Breadboard

                                   RTC Module

About RTC Module : RTC module" is a single packaged module which integrated RTC IC, oscillator circuit and master clock. There is no need for oscillator circuit design and frequency adjustment by yourselves. Features of Epson's RTC Module.

                                     Arduino Nano

                              Jumper Wire

Now insert the Arduino Nano an RTC module on the breadboard then connect the SDA and SEL pin of the RTC module with A4 and A5 of the Arduino Nano

                                    Pinout RTC Module with Arduino Nano

                                RTC Module              Arduino Nano

•                         SDA                     A4
•                          SCL                     A5
•                          VCC                    5V
•                          GND                    GND

                       RTC Module with Arduino Nano connection 

Then connect it with the D6 pin of Arduino Nano. Now all connection is done.

4th Step:

Now it’s time for a little bit of coding.

For this project you will first need the Arduino IDE which can be download here-https://www.arduino.cc/en/software

Now our DIY digital multicore real time clock is ready, it looks so nice.
