7 segments clock

[4Lewis]

Trying to make a clock that outputs to LEDs, (NOT TO A DISPLAY!) Are their any suggestions to how to start this type of project? Do I need a clock or timer circuit to hook up to my PIC to figure out proper timing. Please help/suggest. All the best. - Lewis

Thank's to all for the answers.

I made a 4 digits display using 7 segmentes C.C., I'm trying to use a rtc, ds1302. In the future I will add a temperature sensor. I'm trying to learn how to write in pbasic, but it takes long time, is a long process. I'm playing with with differents components like 7 Seg, led's, sensors (light, distance, etc), i have also a lot of 5x7 and 8x8 dot matrix led that i would like to drive them.

thanks.
