Real time clock and temperature monitor with a DS3231 and a Color TFT

In this video educ8s.tv is building a Real Time clock and temperature monitor with a big 3.2″ Color TFT display. They are using a DS3231 Real Time clock module to get the time, the date and the temperature. The heart of the project is the powerful Arduino Due board, which can drive the display and update it without any visible flickering at all! Impressive. Let’s start!

A few weeks ago, I tested this 3.2” color TFT display for Arduino with both Arduino Mega and Due. The display works fine and I built a simple project with it. It is a temperature monitor and a real time clock. As you can see at the top, we can see the current date and time, we can see the temperature right now, and at the bottom the Arduino records the minimum and the maximum temperature that it has measured. I also tried to design a basic user interface just with simple shapes. As you can see everything works fine, and it is a very easy and useful project to build. Let’s see how to do it!
