How To Make a Digital Clock

The video explains how digital clocks work, starting with the need for a power source, which can be a battery or a plug with a transformer. It then describes the heartbeat mechanism, which can be generated using a crystal oscillator or a circuit counting electrical oscillations. These oscillations are measured in hertz and are used to keep time. The video also covers how digital clocks divide time using a chip that acts like a calculator, converting oscillations into seconds, minutes, and hours. Finally, it explains the role of the display, which uses a simple program to show the time.
