12 Hour TTL clock

http://youtu.be/hGamMP2yvWo

This was the final project for my Digital 2 class it was so well received that I thought I would share it. To begin the project I created the circuit virtually. By starting this way I was able to work a lot of the kinks out of my design while also making sure to use only the parts that I had in my kit.

Step 1: Gather your parts

Parts List:
1. 555
2. 7408 AND gate
3. 7447 BCD to decimal decoder
4. 74LS90 Decade counter
5. 74LS93 Counter
6. 74LS76 JK flip flop
7. 331 resistor chip
8. 104 capacitor, 1µf cap, and a 10µf cap
9. (2) 503 potentiometers
10. 10K potentiometer
11. (6)or (3 dual) seven segment displays (common anode)

Wow this is very impressive!

Can i ask how accurate your clock is with the 555 timer?

[josgrg]

It is not as accurate as a real clock it loses appox. .68 sec a day which doesn't sound like much but over a large period of time say a week or a month the lose is significant.

good day sir! can i have a copy of your pdf without having PRO ACCOUNT please.. ill be using it as a references in our on going project.. thanks

[josgrg]

I no longer have a copy of it. But if you do a internet search for a diagram you should find one easily.Sorry

Hi!
I was wondering if you could use these parts to make a simple 30 second counter that would activate something or bleep when it comes to 0, with one button to reset it while its counting...

Its for a tiny little project so the simpler the circuit, the better, and this seems like a whole lot more advanced circuit... Any ideas?

Thanks!

[josgrg]

Yes, it is possible but it is not very efficient or accurate. Because the 555 is used for a 1 Hz square wave the "timing " is not as stable as it needs to be for an actual timer.I would use a RTC ( real time clock) IC for the circuit you want it would make eveything much simpler.

Wow excellent work!

I've been mucking around with a design using TTL chips like the very useful 4026 which combines a decade counter and 7-seg decoder into one chip. Of course nothing is simple, and I think I need a transistor driver between the 4026 and the LEDs, thereby negating the "all-in-one" advantage of the 4026.

How much current does your clock draw?

this was awesome..thanks much but what was the led for??..

[josgrg]

The LED indicates A.M. or P.M.

I did a counter on a giant breadboard similar to this in a digital electronics class too. Fun fun.
