Free Project - 245 LED Display

<h1>I passed the Discrete Maths unit !!!</h1>
Excuse the enthusiasm, but I just got my results back and it's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life!.

Great Trent, congrats on passing. We knew you could do it!

Thanks

Getting back to the clock for a moment - I've had it running for 24hrs so far and its gained 3 secs. Anyone have any thoughts on how to improve its accuracy?

I think use DS1307 or Darrel Taylor's time solution.

Converting the display project to a clock was a really nice idea.
I think i will be making it sometime.
About the clock gaining 3 sconds in 24hrs, using Darrels's instant Interrupts system will keep it within 0.5 sec a day.
I've tried making clocks with the PBP interupt system but i faced the same accuracy problem.

Adjust the oscillator frequency! 3 sec/day means 34 ppm; that sounds reasonable for an unadjusted oscillator.
Or change the divisor rate from the nominal 31250/4096 to a value who meet the actual frequency.

Dear Trent, can't you at least post a big rezolution picture of the circuit's pcb, of the logical part, not of the led's? 10q

I HAVE posted a big picture of the PCB with more than adequate resolution. See post #15 http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/atta...4&d=1177471027
