Hi, I have designed a binary clock using what they taught me so far in Engineering School. Now I'm going to build it and put it on my desk.
Basically its just a bunch of counters made from D flip flops with logic in between to detect 60 seconds, 60 minutes, and 24 hours. There is also other logic to do various other tasks. I will post the schematic eventually.
I designed the entire thing myself, all inspired from a simple 4 bit counter with T flip flops that I read about in my digital logic book. Then I just extended that small counter to use D flip flops and to make it into a clock. Its the first thing I ever designed, so I'm excited LOL.
I'm going to build this clock over the next month or so on a perfboard. This project should help improve my soldering skills as well.
I will keep all posts related to this project in this thread, and eventually have plans to transfer it over to the Completed Projects forum with schematics and detailed explanations.
For now I am bound to have many questions, and already do, so I will ask all the questions in this thread, and hopefully you guys will be kind enough to help me out. Thanks.
