first little project - Big Clock

Hallo Forum,
this is my first project with a pixaxe.
I find the large clock of tarzan beautiful. I tried to recreate this clock with my beginner know how. my program read the time from a DS1307, has NO menu and can ONLY show the time on a 20x4 LCD. BUT, you can choose between four character sets.
excuse my bad english, I live in germany.

greetings Chris

Hi Chris,

I also congratulate you for your effort to recreate the large numerical character font set.
As far as I know you’re the first to do this in this style using Picaxe since my original posting in Feb 2008.

Hallo Tarzan,
thank you, i found your clock so good, that I wanted to recreate it. I hope that's ok?
I have expanded my clock program. It may also display the current teperatur.
You can switch by pressing a button between time and temperature.

greetings Chris

Hello Chris,

Ok, yes. I liked the large font so much myself that I copied it too.
I’ve made slight changes to digits three and four.
I’ve not run your code yet; I will when I get some spare time.
With my own code I went to a lot of trouble to improve the refresh rate of the LCD/OLED screen.
This meant running the Picaxe @ 64MHz and directly driving the display in 8bit mode.

Hallo Forum,
I have the program a little bit expanded. It displays the time, the date, and the temperature.
The display changes about every 10 seconds from clock to the date and the temperature.

Greetings Chris
