Arduino Binary Alarm Clock

Step 5 Reading the display

Most binary clocks I've seen uses binary coded decimals (BCD), which means that each didgit is represented in binary separately. But I chose to use true binary representation, mostly because I think it's cooler with real binary, but also because it requires less LEDs, and therefore less pins on the arduino.

The clock uses 24-hour notation.

In the picture below you can see how the display shoud be read. Just add togheter the values of  the lit LEDs to get the time. The second picture in this step has some examples.

Works like a charm.
