Hello,
Good day, I'm about to start a simple project. A device like that of a basketball timer, only that I am using it as timer for our native sport here in our locality.
I will be using an Atmega MCU as my main controller, I understand that MCU is not best to be used as timers, my question is could anyone please suggest an IC that I could look into that can do such purpose and can be interfaced with the MCU via SPI, i2C or UART. My second question is, am I right that RTC can be used for such purpose? I don't have any experience with RTC so please forgive my little knowledge. Thank you so much!
