A close-relative of the Y2K problem that was a hot issue 20 years ago. Now, for those of you who use software-based solutions such as the RasPi, there is a ticking time-bomb waiting for us on January 19, 2038. On that date, all software using 32-bit signed integers for the time will overflow.

The GPS receiver is Haicom HI-203E. When the NixiChron had trouble finding satellites in 2010, I did reach out to Jeff about possibly getting another one. At the time, he responded with this: "FYI, the receiver is programmed specific to this clock, and one purchased elsewhere will require

That time difference is exactly 1024 weeks. The people who conceived the GPS data format foolishly gave it a ten bit field for weeks, so it's a baked-in flaw. You have a clock that assumes the 2000-2019 epoch instead of the 2020-2040 epoch. It's possible to fix this in the firmware. Someone has

Hi. I have one of Jeff Thomas' NixiChron's, acquired in 2005. It's since had the MCU replaced in 2008, along with the latest grounding circuit modification. In 2009, it had the tendency to lock up and emit a high pitched sound intermittently, but that has stopped. In 2010, after unplugging
