Title: ATtiny85 led matrix clock
Post by: Nick on March 23, 2013, 11:20:20 am
Hi

I made this new clock, and thought of sharing it with you guys.
It's running on an ATtiny85 (http://www.atmel.com/devices/attiny85.aspx) (8pins, 16MHz) IC, which is pretty small.
Using two 74HC595 shift registers (only taking up three wires) and two buttons, you can control the mode the clock displays the time, as well as setting the correct time.
A friend of mine made the aluminum casing, which makes it look very neat.

here's a video of it running:

hell yeah I am, I'm working on that memory game tor the TI-Concours, so that'll be finished within one week for sure. After that I plan to take some time to finish all my previous projects (if I can find the energy to do so). At least uno needs to be finished, and maybe some older ones that never really took off, so yeah, I'll have some work to do :)
