Got it -- I should have read the description more carefully, I assumed it wasn't working due to lack of the broadcast time signal. So in reality, you are good to go. I still think WWVB is unnecessary on a 4 digit clock.I don't trust Aliexpress, too many of the sellers are shady and there is no real buyer protection. If the seller accepts PayPal then maybe you have a shot. Otherwise you are just broadcasting your credit card all over China.On Wednesday, February 3, 2016 at 9:25:42 AM UTC-6, Michail wrote: Terry, Just to be clear, when it doesn't receive a signal after 10 mins of putting in the batteries, it resorts to a standard quartz clock - 32.678 Hz xtal. So, it wouldn't need to be modded. And, wow, seconds on this flip clock would drive anyone nuts after a short time - Far louder than any flip I have heard. Paolo, -Agreed. Arduinos are more power hungry. I was thinking more for the idea of still having WWVB in a flip. -Yup, looks like Makershed changed the price again from $9.99 to $4.49. Guess it's time to contact them for a price adjustment or return. -Aliexpress looks good; however, they don't ship to Washington. I have tried to buy several things.

Can you imagine listening to that clatter once/second? It would be trivial to come up with an interface to a normal $5 quartz clock movement circuit board that would drive the motors. That's what they do in any clock. I would program a pic or even a PAL to divide by 60 for the minutes. Divide by 60 again for the hours, and drive the second motor. Set the time at the top of the hour, connect the battery, and go. Don't over think it. Not every clock needs to be accurate to the second. I have many quartz clock movements in the house that never need to be corrected, except at the DST change. So they get corrected twice a year by default.
