As suggested, here comes the BCD Clock! It is more handy notation - Binary-Coded Decimal, or BCD. Each decimal digit is represented by the binary number from 0 to 1001. A BCD clock inspired by the traditional clock Think Geek (The clock has a menu to help you read the hour.
Experiences
- Binary coded decimal clock counting some seconds. Yay for geeks in the world. Made by Anelace Inc.
- The clock circuit above uses seven ICs and 19 LEDs to indicate binary coded decimal time. The LEDs can be arranged (as shown in example above) so that each horizontal group of 3 or 4 LEDs represents a decimal digit between 0 and 9 and each individual LED represents a single bit or (binary digit) of the value.
