Big PIC Clock Kit - DIY
The Big PIC Clock is based on a PIC16F84 microcontroller (uC.) The software in the uC allows for very accurate timekeeping. For visibility at a distance it uses 2.3/57mm super large, hi-efficiency red LED displays for the hours and minutes and smaller 0.56 LED displays for the seconds. The circuit incorporates a dimming feature so that at night the reduced ambient light is sensed and the display is dimmed.
