The Digital Word Clock - Purdue ECE 362 Mini-Project

The Digital Word Clock displays time using English words instead of numbers.

This project was designed by Aditya Balasubramanian, Austin Chen, Kushal Patel, and Ryan Hannah for Purdue University's ECE 362 course "Microprocessor System Design and Interfacing." Over 2,000 lines of assembly code, $200 in components and materials, and 100 man-hours (including an all nighter) were invested in this project.

Features:
-Secondary LCD display (HH:MM:SS)
-Time set/reset mode
-Hourly custom sound sample chime
-Manual brightness adjustment (slider)
-Automatic brightness adjustment (ambient light sensor)
-Independent power regulator with backup battery

This is awesome! I would really like to buy one, are you going to start producing these and selling them?

[zenmasterchen]

@Superspyi2 This was an academic project, so we aren't going to make and sell any. You can buy something similar online though. See comment above.

I suspect some seeded comments. To see a real project search ece 362 MoPong. In all seriousness this team did an amassing project that looks good and is creative.
