Hi all. I'm new to Arduino and the community. I've been learning the basics and having fun! While I'm still blinking LED's or turning the simple servo, I'm trying to research code for a project in mind. It's for a project that is kind of time sensitive so I want to enlist help to speed it up It's a clock for my director who is retiring soon.
My work manufactures electronic controls. I've taken one of our display housings that has a 5 buttons on the front and a window for a 16x2 display. I've gutted our technology from the housing and left the front keypad. This was a rejected unit that I grabbed from the scrap pile. I verified that the front buttons all function with a single common for all 5 buttons.
The idea is to turn this housing into a clock, date, time, temp maybe, settable by the front buttons.
The time and date would rotate with the company name with a delay.
He's been on the job 35 years, so I want one of the buttons which is actually a hidden button by pressing on our company logo, to display his name and years of service with the company. Then after a suitable delay, return to the cycling of the time and company logo. I want the years of service to increase by one annually up until the point of retirement where maybe a certain keypress would deactivate the annual counter. Possible?
I have a few Unos and Nanos(CANNOT get the Nanos driver issue solved, I think its because of the PC I have, a Samsung Book S with an ARM processor...) the DS3231 RTC and an I2C 1602A display.
Thank you for reading. Hope someone wants to help me out!
