Arduino command

It appears you are not only new to Arduino but Element14 also. Your approach will need some improvements if you hope to secure some assistance from the members of this site. Hopefully through an information exchange we can flush out your design.

You want to use a Arduino Mega to produce an output at 1, 11, 21, 31, 41 and 51 minute intervals. Is the output for each minute intervals on the same pin or a separate pin for each interval?

You want to produce an output on another pin the whole time its is that hour. Not sure I understand the requirement here. You want a one pin for each hour, to produce output on that hour?

It would be much easier if you describe what you want to build rather than how to build it. (i.e. I want to build a timer. It has to provide output at these intervals. Outputs for minutes and hours is required.) What you are looking to make may already exist.

Yeah you're right I'm new here. And it's a qlocktwo. I know there are many little boards for it ut I want to do it with my mega. the output for each minute intervals is on the same pin. and you are right with the output for the hour.

Well vasi_timis,  it has been made and done. And your in luck here it is. Please show your results here. Thanks colporteur  for getting the information.

In a former life, did you work at Bletchley park cracking code?

How you arrived at word-clock, from the meager information provided is beyond me. I deserve no credit in the footnotes of your discovery. Other than I suspected some type of clock, the second response to my questions would have brought me no closer to your revelation that the information provided in the original post.

I suspect you may have some exposure to this type of project to suggest the solution with the scant details in the posts. I doff my hat to you.

A good place to work out how to do it, is by looking here (look under the "Time" header): https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/ 

About your Mega board look here: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/ArduinoMega2560

Then assuming you have opened up the Arduino IDE and run through the various available examples for the Mega, then the next step is to work out what which example to start from. In your case I would suggest just looking at examples found in 01. Basics... Blink, and in 02. Digital... Blink without Delay

Then when ready for more advanced stuff look at different libraries to handle timers. E.g. https://playground.arduino.cc/Code/Metro/

Shh. I had a second life there.

Your post is equivalent to dumping the contents of a heathkit on a table with a schematic and solder iron saying have at her, there is a AM/FM radio when done.

Google searching "word clock" didn't provide the results I was looking for. I was hoping to find some details on the code. The variants of the human readable word clock project are numerous. Some more accurate than others.

By way of a summary is the code for this just a lookup of the generate time values to be displayed as text (e.g. 20 =Twenty)? My code skills are not developed to read lines to get an understanding.

ha ha very good. I suppose if someone asks me for directions on the street, I point them in the right direction. I don't take them there myself... so I took it literally when asked "I want to make a digital pin from an arduino Mega to be an output on the minutes 1, 11, 21, 31, 41 and 51"

NP. I get the glazed eyes when I describe Pi projects to my family. Technology is rarely a table topic with family and friends.

Sean

Yes, I can image that at the table it would cause glazed eye syndrome when the ears hear "raspberry pie" but the eyes just see electronics...
