I already have similar code I used for a different clock.  Email me direct with contact info if you can. -DanSent from my iPadOn Mar 26, 2023, at 10:41 AM, martin martin wrote:Speaking of Atomic clocks... I have two Heathkit GC-1000 "Most Accurate Clock"  complete with the original manual.  * One

Speaking of Atomic clocks... I have two Heathkit GC-1000 "Most Accurate Clock" complete with the original manual. * One of them has some mods too. I have been unable to get either one working. I can post pics if you guys want! ~ *mcvei...@gmail.com * On Sun, Mar 26, 2023 at 9:40 AM Terry S

And another option might be to just have the Arduino emulate the WWVB receiver function. I'd have to supply it 5V instead of 1.5V. Just spitballin'. On Sunday, March 26, 2023 at 11:30:43 AM UTC-5 Terry S wrote: > Guys, thinking about modifying my big beautiful Jeff Thomas clock. The > origina

[neonixie-l] Re: Jeff Thomas WWVB clock

I purchased a new one too. I think there are three phototransistors and three IR LEDs from what I could remember. Extensive hacking would be required for this more "intelligent" version. With a good signal, the old one worked very nicely with Jeff's design. Here

[neonixie-l] Re: Jeff Thomas WWVB clock

A totally different movement is sold now. Would have to be 're-hacked'. I know, I bought one and had to find one of the originals. On Wednesday, June 29, 2016 at 8:30:37 PM UTC-7, emuman100 wrote: > > I have found the link I saved. The picture shows the right movement, but > I'm not sure if this

[neonixie-l] Re: Jeff Thomas WWVB clock

I have found the link I saved. The picture shows the right movement, but I'm not sure if this is what you'll get or if they are selling the newer version with the old picture. It can be found here

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Jeff Thomas WWVB clock

Thx Michail, I'm good there. I bought 2 of them. One for screw ups. ;-) Clock is not really hacked to work with the Klockit mechanism, but the Klockit sure is. On Saturday, December 19, 2015 at 11:15:58 PM UTC-8, Michail wrote: > > It you don't have the WWVB clock mech, I would happily donate o

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Jeff Thomas WWVB clock

It you don't have the WWVB clock mech, I would happily donate one to you. Personally, I think one would be better off with a specific WWVB reception module (no hacking of the clock). I got those as well. (eBay, of course). Michail Wilson 206-920-6312 In a message dated 12/19/2015 7:

[neonixie-l] Re: Jeff Thomas WWVB clock

Michael, to avoid cathode poisoning of those expensive tubes, you'll want to "replace the anode resistors with 10K 1w flameproof" resistors. I put that in quotes because that is straight from Jeff Thomas' email on the subject. Also from Jeff: "Use a slightly higher voltage output AC power trans

[neonixie-l] Re: Jeff Thomas WWVB clock

Very cool. The trickiest part will be the clock module mods. Have you found the Quartex module yet? Terry On Saturday, December 19, 2015 at 7:25:08 PM UTC-6, MichaelB wrote: > There's another one-to-be out there. I got hold of an original PCB from > one of our kind MOD-SIX customers and with

Here's mine. Please excuse the reflections. The glue joints in the acrylic haven't aged so well. Might need to re-do that one day. I hand built the wooden base. On Saturday, December
