Building a Timer/Stopwatch with DS1307 RTC and Arduino 🕒 | Part 1 Tutorial
Building a Timer/Stopwatch with DS1307 RTC and Arduino 🕒 | Part 1 Tutorial
Welcome to Part 1 of our Timer/Stopwatch project using the DS1307 Real Time Clock (RTC) and Arduino! In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a simple timer or stopwatch using the DS1307 RTC module, where we will process the data directly from the RTC as integers.
🔧 What You’ll Learn in Part 1:
How to connect the DS1307 RTC module to your Arduino
Setting up the RTC to track elapsed time
Writing code to display and manipulate the timer data
Basic integer data handling from the RTC
⚠️ This is only Part 1! In Part 2, we will learn how to handle the date and time data as strings, just like how you’d retrieve them from an Excel sheet or online sources.
📦 Code and wiring diagrams are included in the video and description!
