Hi you all,
I learn Electronics at school and I found it very intersting.
I decided to improve my skills so I took on myself a nice project.
Building a digital clock.
How ever , I dont want to use ready chips.
Only the basic compontes: Flip Flops,gates,decoders and Pulse Generators.
Therfore there werent post that might helped me, all of them are contain
kind of uknown compontes (to me).
As a start I tought how to manage the first numeral seconds:
(Units of Seconds (0))
4 T FF
all the T inputs will get +Vcc.
Decoder BCD to 7SEG
So please take a look at the picture that attached to the post
and tell me if its right and how can I now connect it to the Ten Seconds(10).
i know that when the "Q"'s value is 1010 I need to do a reset to the
Units Seconds and add a pulse to the Ten seconds - but I dont know
how....
So, after lot of work I successed in doing the Seconds and Minutes.
Now I have some problems with handling a 24 Hours.
As you can see:
01 11 21
02 12 22
03 13 23
04 14
05 15
06 16
07 17
08 18
09 19
10 20
As you can see the Units of the HOURS is used in different times.
for example: 01,11,21 - they have the same Hours Unit
so how can I know for sure when its 01 and when its 11 and when 21
and the same to 02,12,22 and to 03,13,23 ?
My guess is to check if the Tens Hours is equal 0
if TRUE and the Units Hours equal to 10 (Not really equal) then:
Reset Unites Hours
ADD PULSE to Tens Hours

well narendrababu, we cant just give you everything! you have to search the web a little bit and actually do some work. We cant do all the work while you reap the profits!
Answer of ur first question,
Make the same circuit as u have made for the Seconds and Divide ur Clock cycle with 60(u can use two or three Johnson Counter) and connect the output of the divider circuit with the circuit(CP) u have made for minutes.
Answer of ur second question,
For example u want to apply a condition. What will u use for it!!! U can use and gate.. We want that after the 9 there should be zero. At the position of 10 we connect the AND gate and it's output is connected with MR(of U1) and CP(of U3)..
Now how it works,
As the 10th pulse reaches at the U1 it will convert this input into binarray. it's output will be "0101" now AND gate will perform it's action it will makes it's output High because both of it's input are High. AND's gatte out will reset the U1 to Zero. And the Same time it will incriment into the 10's digit of Second..
hellow guys can anyone give me idea on how to design a self correcting digital clock.what it does is that it should be able to correct itself automaticaly by looking at its reference points wheather its GPS or whatever.help me guys!!!!
