How do I tell the AVR clock to show a Binary Clock Display ?
Select the Menu-Dial option, set the value to Bin. The clock will switch to a Binary Clock Display. This clock will display 24 Hour time in a BCD Binary fashion. You will see 6 columns displaying from 2 to 4 on-off “lights”. The left-most 2 columns show the hours, the middle 2 columns show the minutes and the right-most columns show the seconds. Each column represents one digit, together they form a value. The lowest position in each columns represents bit 0, the highest can be bit 2, 3 or 4. The size of each column was selected to represent the full range for each digit in its position. For example, the lowest digits for seconds can range from 0..9 so we need 4 bits to display the number 9 in binary. The highest digit for hours can range from 0..2 so we only need 2 bits to display the number 2 in binary. When you select a hexadecimal Numeric Display (Menu-Num: Hex) with this Binary Clock Display, you are looking at a Bi-Hex clock. This mode is persistent.
