[time-nuts] More ES100 / WWVB BPSK chips
There were couple WWVB threads recently. One of the questions was if the La Crosse UltrAtomic 404-1235UA-SS wall clock is still the only WWVB clock that uses the new BPSK format. I learned that 3 different companies made prototypes but only La Crosse went to market. So at this point the 1235UA is the only commercial clock using the new eWWVB format. Everyone who has one reports superb reception quality, far better than traditional WWVB clocks. Another question was where to get the bare Everset ES100 chip or dev boards. The original Universal Solder PCB with ES100 has been out of stock a long time. It's the one seen at http://www.leapsecond.com/pages/es100/pins.htm The good news is that Universal Solder just announced a newly designed board: https://www.universal-solder.ca/everset-es100 Your choice of bare 12 x 16 mm board or a full Arduino-based dev kit: https://www.universal-solder.ca/product/everset-es100-mod-wwvb-bpsk-phase-modulation-receiver-module/ https://www.universal-solder.ca/product/canaduino-application-development-kit-with-everset-es100-mod-wwvb-bpsk-atomic-clock-receiver-module/ /tvb ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com To unsubscribe, go to http://lists.febo.com/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts_lists.febo.com and follow the instructions there.

Hi Tom - I wonder if WWVH is also sending in the new format for you guys on the west coast, although you guys are closer to WWVB than I am, and the La Crosse just works great. Regards - Mike Mike B.

Mike, The BPSK format enhancement applies only to 60 kHz WWVB, not the short-wave WWV in CO or WWVH in HI. /tvb On 9/20/2020 3:48 AM, Mike Feher wrote: Hi Tom - I wonder if WWVH is also sending in the new format for you guys on the west coast, although you guys are closer to WWVB than I am, and the La Crosse just works great.

Re: [time-nuts] More ES100 / WWVB BPSK chips
Christmas shopping? Here are good prices on the LaCrosse UltrAtomic for a Time-Nut. Lowe’s is selling the La Crosse UltrAtomic 404-1235UA-SS clock for $40.00 https://www.lowes.com/pd/La-Crosse-Technology-Analog-Atomic-Round-Indoor-Wall-Standard-Clock/1000197687 The is a 47% discount from buying identical clock from LaCrosse ($75.95). You likely can “pick-up” at your local Lowe’s store — avoiding shipping damage. https://www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/404-1235ua-ss The La Crosse UltrAtomic 404-1235UA-SS being sold for $26.39 Amazon Prime. Free shipping (glass breakage possible) from seller LaCrosse Technology. greg, w9gb == Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2020 01:16:23 -0700 From: Tom Van Baak To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement Subject: [time-nuts] More ES100 / WWVB BPSK chips There were couple WWVB threads recently.

Re: [time-nuts] More ES100 / WWVB BPSK chips
Thanks to Tom's heads-up, I ordered a new style ES100 set with breakout board from Universal Solder 13 days ago, and it arrived today. The pinout documentation zip package from Universal-Solder website, (which was mighty confusing to begin with), still seems to describe the original board. But the new pinout is right there on the silkscreening on the breakout board which very nicely plugs into 0.1" perfboard or solderless breadboard. Gave it a quick spin this afternoon, it locked up with WWVB from the East Coast USA in broad daylight, and I can report that the same Arduino code works fine with old board or new. Highly recommended! BUT Universal Solder says they are currently sold out, with "3500 modules in production and expected to be in stock on 10/23/2020."
