PIC16F84A Digital Clock

Introduction

This is a digital clock project built using PIC16F84A Microcontroller and 4017 Digital IC. This project uses 6 seven segments displays to show Hours, Minutes and Seconds. There are two push buttons provided to adjust the time.

Please note that I used MPLAB Versio 8.3 to build the code. (Not the latest version). If you have any error while compiling the code, please use an old version of MPLAB or use the compiled HEX file to program. You can download MPLAB V8.3 from above link

If your clock does not count the time accurately, if you see a delay in counting the minute or if your clock counting the time fast, try changing the value on below line.

MOVLW .164 ; DECIMAL POINT DELAY SETTING

Try changing the value .164 and compile your code again.

Sorry I don't have a hex file to show the temperature. Need to modify the existing project.
Published By : John Added Date :8/29/2019 11:15:43 AM Sir do you have a program of digital clock using PIC16F84A and using the IC DS1307? Admin Reply : Hi John, I don't have complete project with PIC and DS1307, I found this one while searching [https://simple-circuit.com/pic16f84a-ds1307-rtc-circuit-ccs-c/] you may try. You can also try my Arduino project [http://www.manelsoft.com/projects/arduino_ds1307_clock.aspx]
