Circuit for clock module

[Barry]

I want to make a clock using 7 digit displays (Kingbright which I already
have).
I need a circuit or module or kit to do this. Can anyone point me to some
information on the web please?
I am handy with a small soldering iron but not very technical regarding
cicuits or IC's.
TIA
Barry

Google is your friend - search on "digital clock kit" and you get a ton of good results. You're not
likely to find a kit that contains "everything but the LEDs", but you could always buy a complete
kit and substute the LEDs you already have.

If you'd rather start from scratch, Google "homemade LED clock". Fewer results, but still a lot to
work with.

Thanks for your help Eric, I have sent for the Velleman clock kit which I

think I can alter.
