Introduction: Arduino Digital Clock With Alarm Function (custom PCB)

By Ardumotive

In this DIY guide I will show you how to make your own digital clock this alarm function.

In this project I decided to make my own PCB that is based on Arduino UNO microcontroller - Atmega328p.

Bellow you will find the electronic schematic with PCB layout so you can easily produce it.

By pressing the buttons you will be able to set time/date/alarm and alarm state (on/off).

The alarm can be turned off by pressing the alarm button or by shacking the box.

Let's get started.

Step 1: What You Will Need - Hardware

For this project you will need:

You will also need a TTL to USB module or an Arduino UNO board for the programming procedure.

For power you will need a 5V-1A power adapter or you can use a usb cable as I did.

Step 2: The Circuit at EasyEDA, the Free Online Circuit Design Platform

Step 3: The Code

How to program it:

Connect your circuit with TTL to USB module with 5 cables to the programming header.

The pins RX and TX must be cross-connected.

NOTE: If you are using the Arduino UNO board make sure to remove the ATmega328 IC from it first and connect the headers RX to RX and TX to TX pins of the board. The RS pin must be connected to Arduino UNO reset pin.

Download the code from here and open it with Arduino IDE. Inside you will also find the library file.
