“It is very useful for providing accurate time for the public in railway and bus stations. However, solar power-based supply has also been included in the design. Only an uninterrupted power supply is required to keep the clock running. The clock was designed in over three weeks and was done during their holidays. There are no moving hands like a regular clock.” 18 Light Emitting Diodes (LED) bulbs give off red, green and blue light to indicate hours, minutes and second hand on a single strip. This processes the GMT time and converts it to Indian time. Much like how location information is enabled through satellites, time information can also be received.ĭr Dinesh K Anvekar, head of Research and Development as well as faculty in the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) said, “The chip or micro-controller called Arduino was fed with a programme prepared by the students in C language. Six students of Sapthagiri College of Engineering, with help from their faculty designed a clock of 3 feet diameter, which takes the time from the satellite through GPS (Global Positioning System).
