The DS3231 RTC keeps exact time, while 15 LEDs arranged in three rows display hours, minutes, and seconds in pure binary — just like the clocks used by digital engineers.

You’ll wire 15 LEDs with current‑limiting resistors on the breadboard, connect the DS3231 RTC module, and upload code to the Arduino Nano. The top row (4 LEDs) shows hours, the middle row (6 LEDs) minutes, and the bottom row (5 LEDs) seconds.

For example, the bottom row (seconds) uses 5 bits, so a pattern like 1‑1‑0‑0‑1 means 25 seconds (16+8+0+0+1). The code inside the Arduino Nano reads the RTC and lights the corresponding LEDs instantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I reuse the parts for other projects later?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely.
