PicoOClock : Turn your oscilloscope into a digital clock
Let me introduce PicoOClock to you with this short video clip :
|
During the first period, we will draw all vertical segments, and horizontal upper segments only :
As a game, I let you try to find out the spot trajectory. Don't forget the rules :
But you can move so fast verticaly that the eye can't see the spot moving. The lowest line under the digits is not significant, it his the place where the spot is parked when not used to draw a segment |

* PICOCLOCK : PIC Oscilloscope CLOCK
*******************************************************************************
*
* This program shows how to display a digital clock on an oscilloscope
* with a PIC and only 4 resistors.

* RA1 +----------------> pull-up, button to ground : minutes adjustment
* RA2 +----------------> pull-up, button to ground : hours adjustment

*
* Oscilloscope setup :
* set timebase to 0.1 ms, V/div = 1 V
* select external trigger.
*
* source code for mikro C compiler V7.0.0.3
* feel free to use this code at your own risks
* and don't bother me if you get addicted watching this clock.
*
* target : PIC16 or PIC18, 16 Mhz crystal
* HS clock, no watchdog.
*
* tested with PIC16F84A and PIC16F877A
