Description

This project is based on a PIC18F25K22, a GPS module and a LCD. I’m using the ZDA NMEA sentence to get the actual UTC date/time. On start-up the time on the controller is synchronised with the GPS. The controller increment its local time when the GPS module transmit the ZDA sentence which is 1 per second. Nothing fancy here, just another fun project to build!
