till now, i'm still thinking about that 99 cents watch! From where do you bring all those stupid jokes?

Keep on the good job!

Here we reached more than 1000 people who checked this thread! is it enough or we make them 2000?

Thirty years ago when I was in the same position as Eng444, at University working on projects for my Bsc in Civil Engineering, I used a stop watch.

A mechanical one at that.

I am realy intrigued as to why any one has gone to so much trouble to re invent the wheel, or egg timer in this case.

I work in instrumentation and RTC are used extensively because we need to log data with a time and date stamp, and if I was going to build a data logger then I would use a RTC, but then I would not build one because I can buy a very good tested and reliable datalogger for £240.

It's 23:58:43 on 28th February... You need a three-minute egg... you're in a panic because PAUSE 180000 exceeds a WORD variable. Do you stop the clock at 12:01:43am or at 00:01:43, and will it be on the 29th February or on the 1st March? Deep down, you KNOW the DS1307 was built by Maxim/Dallas just to provide you with these very answers.
