This project introduces an open-source, ATmega328 based, configurable NTP clock with a 2.3-inch, 7-segment display driver. This clock automatically obtains time from the configured NTP server and updates the date and time of the built-in RTC (real-time clock). If the connection to the NTP server is lost, the clock continues to run using its built-in RTC. Finished NTP clock driver PCB. All the parameters of this clock can configure using its USB base serial terminal. The firmware of this clock supports both static and DHCP addressing modes. Apart from that, parameters such as NTP server address, time-offset, and clock display formats can change through the menu-driven configuration terminal. This clock is designed to drive large common-anode, 7-segment displays. The prototype version is assembled using four individual segments of 7.2V, 2.3-inch, red color displays ( FJS23101BH ). To archive, the necessary high output voltage and the current, the 7-segment display output stage of this ...
