kinda sorta like the the big ben clock but less fancy...i been dreaming this way before the big ben was put into N&V...i like it tho..<p>anyway heres my idea,,,sounds good anyway...feel free to tell me of my flaws<p>i want to use 6 (4017 decade divider chips)
2 for a 60 sec count
2 for a 60 min count
and 2 for the 12 hr count<p>60 sec count will advance the min by 1
and 60 min will advance the hrs. by 1
make sence?<p>what i need is a stable counter/timer to drive the
seconds to make all this work..was considering using a 555 timer..but i do not know if its stable enough?? is there something better to use?
perhaps a circuit to suck on the 60HZ from house to keep time stable?<p>BTW..will be having the leds for this clock on one at a time,, not a arc like the big ben...leds will be in a matrex form sharing the 2) 4017's<p>please feel free to tell me your comments
