Project Description • Problem: Clocks aren’t always accurate: Schools, Hospitals • Our Project: design a WiFi Clock that updates daily using NTP (network time protocol) servers. • Our Goal: The clock will always be on time and automatically update.
Device Components • PIC 32 Microcontroller • I/O (input/output) Expansion Board • LCD Display • Wireless Module LCD Display WiFi Module PIC 32 Expansion Board
Background • What our project does • A WiFi module obtains a time stamp from an NTP server and passes it along to an LCD using a microcontroller. • Display the time and update it using the oscillator of the microcontroller every minute. • Functional Specs • Hardware – Digital LCD 12hr, Battery Power Supply • Software – MPLAB, C coding, internet protocol
Methods • Wire our hardware • Use C coding and MPLAB to have the LCD print a simple display • Enable the Wireless module to connect to UP wireless • Retrieve the time • Display the time
Results • Hardware is configured properly. • Microcontroller can communicate with the LCD and the wireless module. • Using MPLAB we can code the LCD to display desired characters.
Conclusions • Did not get the WiFi module working. • Over 330 total hours logged. • Learned new skills we previously had minimal to no experience in. • Had more software components than we anticipated • Obtained new knowledge of C coding and internet protocol applications. • Acquired real-world experience (i.e. using data sheets, working with different departments within a company).
