Hobby electronics, interesting findings on the web

This is a experiment with arduino and nokia 3310 display module. I downloaded the library from http://www.nuelectronics.com/estore/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=12. I got the display modules from eBay and made my own simple breakout board. This demo shows the time reading from a DS1307 time keeping chip. Also demonstrates how to display a graphic image and animation on the display using the library.

Here is how it looks:

Arduino project: The clock

I have been working on this for a while and finally it has been perfected. Here the arduino reads data from DS1307 RTC chip using I2C protocol and displays the time in english and bengali digits on a dot matrix display. The dot matrix display is connected to the arduino through 74HC595 shift register chips to expand the I/O pins of arduino. Here is how the prototype looks:
