DIY PIC based kitchen countdown timer

Here’s another PIC project, this time it’s a countdown timer. Hopefully, no one mistakes it for a bomb.

Countdown Timer

It’s a kitchen timer. Use it to time spaghetti, or maybe an egg. It uses two PICs, one acts as a keyboard encoder, the other drives the display and supports the timer functions. You key in the desired time and press ‘#’. It’s accurate to 1/100th of a second, which can make all the difference I’m sure you’ll agree.
