    hi alphap8. wow thats a great project. i am working on a similar project and i could not find the way of interfacing the circuit to the PC . Have you uploaded the circuit diagram somewhere pls, or can you give me some tips. thank you very much

    I am also doing a project that is quite similar to yours so can you give me your code??? i have no idea how to write programming code so can you help me?

    I think you got it all wrong – The PC sends its data to the display device I built. No data is sent to the PC!
    My device can accept any numerical value that fits in 6 digits – it doesn’t have to be the PC time, it can be any information sent from the PC (it can be score of a game or whatever).

    You’re right about the fact that I did this as a hobbist, and yes, I tried to get practical after learning – I admit it was quite an ambitious project to be my first ever electronics project.

    I guess you did this as a hobbyist, like a side project to see if you could make it work. I cant see where it is applicable anywhere else when you are able to update you pc with NIST. However Lord Kelvin would most certain be interested if he new about digital watches.
    -Ambitious build indeed.

    I’m so amazed with this design. Nice job…..
    Can you upload the schematic and the circuit diagram of that design plz including the materials that you have used and also the program that you have made to the IC. thanks.

    great!!! nice job, I would like to learn about the usart and doing programs for getting information like yours , is it hard to learn by my self? xD well I’ll try.. (ah I don’t lke your 6) sorry for my english

    :)
    Yes, this is the actual time displayed there.
    I was soooo exicted when all of this worked properly and I wanted to take some shots before it explodes or something :) Later on I just edited the shots and prepared this video.

    No, the idea is that the circuit is in sync with the PC all the time.
    Currently the PC-side program samples the PC time rapidly and sends the time to the circuit, but the program can be modified to send whatever numeric data you whish as long as it fits to the 7-Segment display layout.

    Does the circuit keep counting even after being disconnected from the PC?
