#12718: Digital Electronic Clock DIY Kit

R136.08

The Digital Electronic Clock DIY Kit is a fun and educational project that requires soldering skills to assemble. It is based on the AT89C2051 microcontroller and offers various functions related to timekeeping and alarms. The main features of the clock kit are as follows:

Supply Voltage: The clock kit operates on a supply voltage between 3V and 5V. The recommended voltage for stable operation is 5V.

PCB Size: The printed circuit board (PCB) size is 52mm in length and 42mm in width.

Functions:

Seconds Correction: The clock allows for precise timekeeping by allowing users to correct the seconds.
Display Interface: Users can switch between displaying hours and minutes or minutes and seconds separately.
Two Alarm Settings: The clock has two independent alarm settings that can be turned on or off.
Hourly Chime: The clock can chime hourly between 8:00 and 20:00.
Accurate Adjustment: The clock offers accurate time adjustment.

System Components:
MCU Minimum System: Includes the AT89C2051 microcontroller, a power-on reset circuit (C1, R1), and a clock circuit (C2, C3, Y1).
Key Input Circuit: Composed of buttons (S1, S2) for various operations like setting alarms and switching display interfaces.
Display Circuit: Utilizes a 4-digit common cathode display with one resistor pack (PR1).
Buzzer Circuit: Consists of a buzzer (LS1) and components (Q1, R2) for generating alarm sounds.
Operation Instructions:

Upon power-on, the clock displays the time as "12:59" and operates in the "hours:minutes" display interface.
Both alarm channels are initially set to "ON," with the first alarm set at 13:01 and the second alarm set at 13:02.
By short pressing S2, the display interface switches between "hours:minutes" and "minutes:seconds."
To access the system settings menu, long press S1. There are various submenus (A, 8, C, 0, E, F, G, H, I) that can be cycled through by short pressing S1. Once cycled through, it returns to the normal display.
Overall, the DIY clock kit provides an opportunity to learn about microcontrollers, digital displays, button inputs, and basic timekeeping functions. Assembling the kit will require a soldering iron and soldering skills, making it a suitable project for newcomers looking to delve into electronics and programming.
