This project describes a digital clock with alarm function. It uses a PIC16F877 microcontroller to generate an accurate 1 sec delay with Timer0 using Roman’s zero error method. The time is displayed in large size font on a 4×20 character LCD that uses HD44780 display driver. You can synchronize the time with your computer time through a serial port.... Read more »
Build yourself an inexpensive UV Timer light for tooth whitening. This little project could save you in the region of some £100 to £400 pounds It’s ideally for dental nurses who have to buy their own equipment. ... Read more »
This clock timer uses a PIC16F628 microcontroller to display 3 and 1/2 digit time and control an external load. The clock includes a calendar with leap year and optional daylight savings adjustments. The timer output can be set from 1 to 59 minutes and manually switched on and off. The clock also has a correction feature that allows an additional second to be added every so many hours to compensate for a slightly slow running oscillator.

This might be a good practice project for beginners who just started learning embedded electronics. It is about making a very basic programmable digital timer using a PIC16F628A microcontroller. The timer duration can be set from 0-99 minutes.
As I mentioned earlier, the microcontroller used in this project is PIC16F628A running at 4.0 MHz clock using an external crystal. An HD44780 based 16×2 character LCD is the main display unit of the project where you can watch and set the timer duration using tact switch inputs. There are three tact switches connected to RB0 (Start/Stop), R
