DIY Chess Clock – Building My Own Chess Timer | Project #1

In this video, I build my own DIY chess clock from scratch.
This is Project #1 of my DIY project series, where I design and build my own electronic projects step by step.

For this project, I designed the enclosure, wrote the code, and created a custom PCB to build a fully functional chess timer.
