Anyone who has managed to make an LED turn on and off using BASCOM can also control the segments of a 7-segment display. That is the basis of this simple low-cost digital clock.

When you choose an AVR microcontroller to build a digital clock there really isn’t too much extra hardware required. Firmware for the project is written in BASCOM [1], the free demo version of the software development tools is more than adequate for this task. This digital clock design uses a simple software structure which serves as a good introduction to the BASCOM programming language.
