Whenever people ask me about my job title and what I do for a living, I always struggle to answer. Am I a software engineer? A solution architect? A technical lead? A technical director?

However, what I do know is that I leverage my 20 years of experience and excellent intuition to solve problems. So, please take a look at my work and see the actual problems I have solved.

Simple Arduino Clock with 7-Digit Segment Display

From time to time, I’m also working on less “web” related project. This time, a wanted to play a bit with Arduino platform. The task was pretty simple – to build a clock. Yes – these days, we don’t have enough time measuring devices like mobiles, microwaves, computers – I wanted to build another one.

It was my first Arduino project so the task wasn’t  as easy as I expected. In the theory, we need only pass time & data from RTC to 7-Segment Display. Simple isn’t it? I found plenty of tutorials, had so many small issues like – digits wasn’t displayed correctly (mixed cables). I could only display one digit at the time in given position or – same digits everywhere (multiplexing). I couldn’t find shift register in my stock, so wanted to use whatever I already had.
