DS1307 Arduino based Digital Clock in Proteus

Hello everyone, today I am going to share a complete project which is DS1307 Arduino based digital Clock in Proteus ISIS. In this project, I have designed a digital clock using Arduino UNO and DS1307 RTC Module. So, first of all, if you haven't yet installed then, you should install Arduino Library for Proteus using which you will be able to easily simulate Arduino baords in Proteus. Along with Arduino Library you will also need to install DS1307 Library for Proteus, which I have shared in my previous post as we are gonna use this RTC Module DS1307 for designing our digital clock.

So, now I hope that you have installed both these libraries successfully and are ready to design this DS1307 Arduino based Digital Clock. I have given the Simulation and Code for download below but as I always advise, don't just download the files. Instead design your own simulation and try to write your own code. In this way, you will learn more out of it. So, let's get started with DS1307 Arduino based Digital Clock in Proteus ISIS:

DS1307 Arduino based Digital Clock in Proteus

• You can download the complete Proteus Simulation along with Arduino Code by clicking the below button.
• You will also need DS1307 Library for Arduino, which is also available in this package.

Download Project Files

• Now, let's get started with designing of this DS1307 Arduino based Digital Clock.
• So, first of all, design a circuit in Proteus as shown in below figure:

• You can see in the above figure that I have used Arduino UNO along with RTC module, LCD and the four buttons.
• These four buttons will be used to change the year,date etc as mentioned on each of them.
• Now here's the code for DS1307 Arduino based Digital Clock.

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#include <DS1307.h>
#include <Wire.h>

LiquidCrystal lcd(13,12,11,10,9,8);

int clock[7];

void setup(){
for(int i=3;i<8;i++){
 pinMode(i,INPUT); 
}

lcd.begin(20,2);
DS1307.begin();
DS1307.setDate(16,4,7,0,17,50,04);//ano,mes,dia,semana,horas,minutos,segundos
}

void loop(){
DS1307.getDate(clock);

lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print("Time: ");
Print(clock[4]);
lcd.print(":");
Print(clock[5]);
lcd.print(":");
Print(clock[6]);
lcd.setCursor(0,0);
lcd.print("Date: ");
Print(clock[1]);
lcd.print("/");
Print(clock[2]);
lcd.print("/");
lcd.print("20");
Print(clock[0]);

if(digitalRead(7)){
 clock[5]++;
 if(clock[5]>59) clock[5]=0;
 DS1307.setDate(clock[0],clock[1],clock[2],0,clock[4],clock[5],clock[6]);
 while(digitalRead(7));
}

if(digitalRead(6)){
 clock[4]++;
 if(clock[4]>23) clock[4]=0;
 DS1307.setDate(clock[0],clock[1],clock[2],0,clock[4],clock[5],clock[6]);
 while(digitalRead(6));
}

if(digitalRead(5)){
 clock[2]++;
  if(clock[2]>31) clock[2]=1;
 DS1307.setDate(clock[0],clock[1],clock[2],0,clock[4],clock[5],clock[6]);
 while(digitalRead(5));
}

if(digitalRead(4)){
 clock[1]++;
 if(clock[1]>12) clock[1]=1;
 DS1307.setDate(clock[0],clock[1],clock[2],0,clock[4],clock[5],clock[6]);
 while(digitalRead(4));
}

if(digitalRead(3)){
 clock[0]++;
 if(clock[0]>99) clock[0]=0;
 DS1307.setDate(clock[0],clock[1],clock[2],0,clock[4],clock[5],clock[6]);
 while(digitalRead(3));
}


delay(100);
}

void Print(int number){
lcd.print(number/10);
lcd.print(number%10);
}

• Now get your hex file from Arduino software and then upload it in your Proteus software.
• Now run your simulation and if everything goes fine, then it will look like something as shown in below figure:

• Now you can see its today's date in the LCD and the same is shown over on the small pop up of DS1307 Clock.
• Now the time will start on ticking and the buttons will used to change the minutes hours etc.
• You will get the better demonstration of this project in the below video.

So, that's all for today. I hope this projects DS1307 Arduino based Digital Clock will help you in some way. So see you in next post.
