I agree, Mouser has been great for my current projects. I like how you can save a project list so when I do another, it is easy to order up just the parts I need without spending extra. They have always shipped quickly and for a decent price. They do have a $10 minimum, but that is easy to mee

Hey Michael, I was sniffing around the board, and remembered I starred this project. I know this may be a zombie thread, but I am curious if you have made any progress with this one. I have an Ardruinx that I would love to add a GPS function to the clock. Thanks for any updates. Ron On Tues

Greetings All, I am hoping you can help me make a decision. I have been using my Radio Shack 25w soldering iron for a few years now, and it is time to upgrade. I have been scouring boards and other Interwebz sites, and I think I have narrowed it down to two. Here are the ones I am looking at

I have to agree with the others here. I have been getting mine from eBay, and I have not had any issues with any of the different sellers I have used. Like was said, just make sure they have good feedback, and you won't have any issues. Stay safe Petro. Ron On Tuesday, February 25, 2014 10:

I was just having a look at the manual for the clock, and was thinking that the adjustable trimpot at R26 should also be checked. Being it is adjustable, could it be that it may have failed somehow? Just a thought. Ron On Saturday, March 28, 2015 at 7:55:48 AM UTC-4, Kiran Otter wrote: > > Hi
