Presented in this study is the development of an Arduino-based radio-controlled basketball game clock. Basketball, being the most played sport in the country, is a big factor in a person's life. Filipinos are known for being huge basketball fans, and the Philippines is said to be a basketball-loving country. Basketball is a sport composed of two teams, competing in a given span of time. A winner is declared based on which team scored more points in the allotted time. The shot clock, game clock, and scoreboard are big factors in this game. The game clock is the one responsible for displaying the length of time left from the allotted time which will soon dictate whether the game is still playable or not. In a professional basketball league, 12:00 minutes is the allotted time, while amateur and FIBA rules use 10:00 minutes as the allotted time for a basketball game. This study aims to develop a standard-sized seven-segment display that will act as the monitor of this basketball game clock. Also will be developed is the control panel which will serve as the master control of the hardware. The mode of communication is via radio frequency. The module used is nrf24101, nrf24101 is a radio frequency module that has a range of 1000meters for the high-powered radio frequency which is used as the transmitter, and a range of 300meters for the low-powered radio frequency module which is used as the receiver. Arduino is the used platform, it is an open-source platform that is used in most electronic projects, since Arduino is an open-source platform, and is initially empty yet programmable. Thus, Arduino is flexible and it can be used in this project provided a program that will run the specific objective. Also developed in this study is the power supply, this
