Abstract: From the world famous series-Harry Potter, written by the British author Miss J.K Rowling, we do come across a ‘magical clock’-one of the curious Weasley house holding. Inspired from the same, the magical clock that we have desired to create is a repurposed grandfather clock, modified with gearing that allows four hands to rotate 360 degrees. Faces or clock hands indicate people, with locations instead of times. Then the clock is attached with a microcontroller that would watch for updates on and turn the hands appropriately. This project requires zigbee modules which transmit different signal to be placed on different location of the building, another zigbee module which can be used as a hand set for a person to be tracked and also there is a server system having zigbee module, PIC and stepper motor which receives the signal from handset and move the needle of clock accordingly with the help of stepper motor

Keywords: PIC- Peripheral Inter phase Controller, IC
