MAX6675? that is a thermocouple interface chip

how can that work as a clock?

I have used the DS1307 extensively and I can assure you theres enough time to read the seconds. Set up an interrupt to trigger off a change in pin on your micro and configure the DS1307 to generate a 1Hz square wave.

The output from the output is admittedly open collector so you’ll want a pull-up resistor probably about 1Kohm but it’ll allow you to read the registers at one second intervals OR just update variables pre-loaded at stsrtup time.

May I ask more details of your rather interesting build. Specifically how you drive the VFD and especially how you obtain the relevant voltage.

[...] doesn’t need a circuit board or even some protoboard to get the job done. He free-formed all the circuits for his VFD clock. Right now this is the only project hosted on his blog so click around to see how he got to this [...]

I often use clocks. They’re useful for checking the time. Theefore this is useful:-P
