Hellschreiber Clock

Step 3Display every tenth second

Display every tenth second
The display shown in the figure is more realistic of the sort of performance obtainable from the clock: Update every ten seconds.

The digits have been programmed to be spaced apart to be nicer, visually.

All the programs which produced these displays have been included in a zip file in the last step of this instructable. The circuit diagram is included in ASCII form in the asm files.

The microcontroller was a Microchip 12F510, an eight lead microcontroller which was clocked at 32.768 KHz using a small crystal from a defunct watch. Just one output line was used, leaving two I/O lines and one input line free for other uses.
