Get some of the small adhesive silicone bumps at Home Depot and punch a small hole in the middle.  Perfect solution to cover the screw and protect surfaces.  Jeff  Original message From: 'Greg P' via neonixie-l Date: 9/14/21 9:11 AM (GMT-06:00) To: neonixie-l Subject: Re:

Then NWTS' are great units. I have a few of them on my Jeff Thomas clocks and they work perfectly. I wish I could find a suitable rubber foot to put on the bottom of the NWTS, don't like them sitting on the screw heads. On Tuesday, September 14, 2021 at 7:57:07 AM UTC-4 Nick wrote: > Just

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Using a NWTS on a NixiSat to replace a Haicom 204III puck...

Just received some new NWTS units and sorted the B7971 GPS FLW too - this clock has a reversed PS/2 connector - Pin 1 is Vcc, Pin 2 is GND and Pin 6 is RXD at RS232 levels and 4800 baud. The unit requires $GPRMC once per second - remember to set the NWTS to RS232 levels. Also gave me an

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Using a NWTS on a NixiSat to replace a Haicom 204III puck...

Having my NixieSat happily running on a NWTS, I've bought some more... Next in line is a Pete Hand B7971 FLW. This is interesting as the P/S2 port is messed up as when the PCB was inverted a small error crept in and the P/S2 socket was mounted under the board but the pins were not re-routed, so

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Using a NWTS on a NixiSat to replace a Haicom 204III puck...

Terry, I have used both (first) an NWTS and later also MichaelB's timelink reciever to drive my NixieChron. I did buy the Microchip processor upgrade from Michael for the Nixiechron with the last firmware. The process is very simple as described above by Nick. At one point I was looking at

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Using a NWTS on a NixiSat to replace a Haicom 204III puck...

I would email them direct and ask - they keep a list of those devices that their clients have connected to and how they did it. They might already know about driving the NixiChron... azevedo-devi...@azevedomail.net Nick On Tuesday, 27 July 2021 at 00:16:23 UTC+1 Terry S wrote: > Guys, I also

Guys, I also need help with this, as I have a Nixichron and I'm moving to a location where I will not have a good GPS signal (metal roofed house with large overhangs!) Can someone help me out with an explanation of what I need to do? Rather purchase a solution than home brew. Thanks, Terry

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Using a NWTS on a NixiSat to replace a Haicom 204III puck...

The NWTS also checks for latency of the response from the NTP and if the response time is outside of an acceptable range, it does not update.  Later firmware is more forgiving, according to the original developer, and the accessibility of multiple pools beginning with 2.20 firmware resolved

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Using a NWTS on a NixiSat to replace a Haicom 204III puck...

I had considered re-flashing to 2.21 as I bought this unit in 2017 and never used it until now (never even built it), so the firmware is "old". Having said that, it works just fine for me. I don't need the multi-multi-pool NTP server stuff - by using pool.net.org or one of its regional

RE: [neonixie-l] Re: Using a NWTS on a NixiSat to replace a Haicom 204III puck...

The latest NWTS software is version 2.21 (yes, this is later than 2.5) Version 2.21-20190701SF Luis Ramos is maintaining the NWTS and I believe that he has an OEM customer that is using the NWTS module in their

Azevedo’s operation has been taken over by one of the original members. His name is Luis, not sure of the family relationship, but he seems very capable and is very responsive. I have purchased 4 -6 NWTSs since Manuel’s passing. As to your question about source code, that is still in the

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Using a NWTS on a NixiSat to replace a Haicom 204III puck...

Indeed - NWYTS: 2.5, NixiSat: 110210 Couple of things - who is maintaining/selling NWTS now and who has the source code etc. for the NixiSat? Both are estate items, regrettably, and both are important! On Wednesday, 21 July 2021 at 18:34:48 UTC+1 MichaelB wrote: > Ahhh you're right, Jeff.

2.5 is probably the NWTS firmware version. The NWTS is a very nice solution and is very configurable. Jeff From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of MichaelB Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2021 11:52 AM To: neonixie-l Subject: [neonixie-l] Re: Using a NWTS on a NixiSat to replace a

Nope, you gt the latest. I was confused a bit when you said you were "running 2.5 firmware". Maybe Jeff referred to this version like that at one time? Didn't know that if he did. Carry on Garth On Wednesday, July 21, 2021 at 9:41:52 AM UTC-7 Nick wrote: > ! I have the latest (last) firmware

Thanks to all who replied but I decided to stop being pathetic and to do it myself! Basically, after the upgrades to the Haicom 204III GPS puck, the NixiSat is talking to the puck using RS232, 4800 baud, 8 bits, no parity and is expecting to just receive a $GPRMC sentence once a second. So,

Hey Thanks Greg. Hi Nick, ping me and I can tell you how I do it so that you can use the clock either NWTS or GPS governed and easily swap them. The one I sent Dalibor is done this way. You've already done the hard part by converting the clock away from the older Axiom/Oncore 1PPS GPSs. And

Nick, Takes some modification to the PCB and added components. Michael Barile (Bad Nixie) is the master at these conversions. Well worth it to have him do it for you, he has many satisfied customers. On Tuesday, July 20, 2021 at 9:05:29 AM UTC-4 Nick wrote: > Has anyone done this? > > I
