mnpumar 2 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 So here it is: (EDIT: the forum seems to be cutting off some of the pictures to the right, if you'd like to see the full version of them, go here: http://img718.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=25703750f.png) 4 MSP430's working together The whole thing runs off a single 9V battery. The two digits for the hours are connected to one MSP430, and the two digits that make up the minutes are each connected to separate MSP430s. The whole thing is controlled by another MSP430 which keeps the time. The itself clock has two modes, one mode where it counts time 60x faster and counts 1 minute as one second. The other mode is where it runs like a normal clock. If you guys would like more information, please let me know. It took me a couple all-nighters to get it all wired together on a breadboard, but I managed to get it all done Can't wait to see what my professor thinks about it, haha. Special thanks to Simplevar, GeekDoc, cde, and everyone else on this forum for answering all my questions, I couldn't have done it without you guys!

jsolarski 94 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 very nice!! are you going to post the code for it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mnpumar 2 Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 very nice!! are you going to post the code for it? Sure, I can post the code if people are interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
simpleavr 399 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 excellent work! i was skeptical on your design in the very beginning. i am amazed how u pull in out in just a few days. must be many hours of hard work. congrats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 uh-oh. I'm unable to see this at work. mnpumar, could you send a zip file of your images to a_d_m_i_n_@43oh.com (remove the underscores) I'll try to put it here. I really wish to see it. good going!

Thanks! The breadboarding took me 2 days straight, and a few more hours the next day after I finally made it to bed. uh-oh. I'm unable to see this at work. mnpumar, could you send a zip file of your images to a_d_m_i_n_@43oh.com (remove the underscores) I'll try to put it here. I really wish to see it. good going! I uploaded the full version of the pictures for you here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AS2R5SHU, they were too big to send via email. I also sent a copy of the link to your email, and my code.

GeekDoc 226 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Well done! I have to admit, I didn't think you'd get this working this fast. Great photos. I think we'd all appreciate seeing the master and slave code, if you're okay with posting it here. Heck, add a schematic and a description and you have a Project of the Month submission! Congrats again. I hope you get a great grade! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 OP post updated. Thanks for the email. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Congrats again. I hope you get a great grade! Thanks! Code has been uploaded thanks to bluehash OP post updated. Thanks for the email. Thanks! I emailed you the schematic, would you mind adding it too? Also, is there any way to make the pictures appear larger? EDIT: Forgot to author my code :S can add it to my first post again? It's attached to this reply. EDIT2: Also authored the schematic, sent it to your email. Code.zip Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GeekDoc 226 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 mnpumar: Can you post full schematics? The one you posted is just the LEDs for one digit, and doesn't even show the MSP430. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbremnant 17 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 This is project is a great culmination of good collaboration and help from forum members. @mnpumar I am impressed with what you have done just as other members here. Please do share all the details about the project. I am very interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mnpumar 2 Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 I will post a full schematic when I have more time, the other digits are exactly the same with one less column. I'm swamped with work for my other classes now until Wednesday. Thanks for all the positive comments and support. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GeekDoc 226 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 No problem. Studies have a higher priority interrupt. Agreed! It was a huge relief when I finally graduated (at 48 y/o). Lots more free time. (Of course, retired from military and as yet unemployed contributed as well :oops: ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
