I want to make a clock similar to this. I want to use 7 segment LED displays. I am assuming I will need something to measure time more accurately than the basic stamp. Other then that is something like this pretty straight forward?

I just want to show time and have push buttons to change the hours and minutes.

I don't see why you couldn't. The stamp should be capable of doing what you need. (with additional help of course)

You should be able to.

You'll need a real time clock like this:

And you'll need a crystal for it:

Besides that you just need a 7segment display and a black box [noparse]:)[/noparse]

If your not going to use a BOE or homework board because you want the project to be smaller, its a bit more involved.
Let us know if your planning on building your own project board and I'm sure someone can help you.

Hello,

Here is an example project of a clock that uses larger 7-segment displays. The time comes from a battery-backed DS1302 RTC Chip which we carry. I hope this helps you out. Take care.
