TimeMaster - Microprocessors Project

Project Overview

TimeMaster is a digital timer written in x86 assembly language that displays a real-time clock in HH:MM:SS format. The program demonstrates low-level programming concepts including interrupt handling, time conversion, and user input processing.

Features

Real-Time Display: Shows the time in HH:MM:SS format
Start Command (S): Start the timer
Stop Command (E): Stop/pause the timer
Reset Command (R): Reset the timer to 00:00:00
Exit (ESC): Press ESC to exit the program safely

How It Works

The program uses basic assembly operations to increment seconds, minutes, and hours, displaying the time dynamically. Custom routines handle:

Timer command processing
Input handling and validation
Time conversion algorithms
Display output formatting

Getting Started

Prerequisites

An x86 emulator or a DOS environment (e.g., DOSBox)
An assembler (e.g., NASM)

Running the Program

Assemble the code:

nasm -f bin TimeMaster.asm -o TimeMaster.com

Open DOSBox and run:
```
TimeMaster.com
```
