Arduino command

Hey Guys, can you please help me with a projekt of mine. 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. And every hour has another Pin as an output the whole time it's that hour, the pin is on (minutes aren't important). How can I write something like that? Please help me (I'm new in Arduino programming).

Edit:

English is not my first language and It's a litle hard to explain what I want. I want to write a command where a Pin is gone be an output at a wanted minute independant from the hour it is right now. My projekt is called Qlocktwo.

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/

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.

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...
