/led-word-clock

A functional clock which displays the time in words in increments of 5 minutes. It uses multiplexing to control a gridded array of LEDs and uses 74HC595 Shift Registers. It is written for the Attiny2313 but could easily be adapted for any microcontroller. The RTC Clock is the DS1307.
