[time-nuts] 10MHz to PPS

2016-02-21 Thread Bob Stewart
Has anyone coded a PICDiv type of solution into a dsPIC33F chip using a 32-bit Type B timer? I've been doing some experimentation over the past few days, and I've had a few latency issues when using the internal clock, which is PLL linked to the 10MHz external clock input. The problem shows

John: I have one of these and I really like the compact unit. I don't have any equipment to compare it's accuracy other than my Nortel GPSDO and watching them both on the scope. If you follow this thread there is a number of tips and commands on the use of the RS232 output. There is also a

U.S. only, will ship in well packaged USPS Priority Mail box. $220. E-mail me off-list if interested. This is my back-up Trimble ThunderBolt with rev 3.0 firmware. It's been sitting unused in a box for too long; it should be in some time-nut's lab listening to birds. Obviously used with tape

Hi Both of these little beasts likely have much of the same basic smarts as their older / bigger cousins. The OCXO may or may not be quite as super low phase noise as some of the others. Based on that, I would expect them to need to run for several days at least before you see what they really

I have been playing with one of those small, 2.75"by 4.5" GPSDOs that are being sold on that auction site. Most of the ones I have seen any discussion about have been Trimble, but this Symmetricom one looks similar but is about half price. I have hooked it up a few times to see how fast it can

Hi On an entirely different project, I happened to get diverted over to “ZVS modules”. They are the guts of an induction heater and are dirt cheap (as in less than the price of the OCXO). More or less, it’s the 3’ rack cabinet from 1935 done as solid state for $10 to $50. If you had
