Re: [time-nuts] Trimble Tbolt temperature

2019-12-08 Thread Charles Steinmetz
Didier and Bob both suggested that perhaps the Tbolt's Kalman filter is better served by the "other corner of the board" temperature data supplied by the existing DS1620, and was designed to operate that way. If this were true, we would expect Tbolts with newer DS1620 chips (chunky 1C temp dat

GREAT ! Surplus ESE units (like those from 911 system upgrades) have often been disconnected and in storage for weeks or months, before being posted on the auction sites. This storage time plus age of the units (10-25 years), produce dead batteries — requiring their replacement. As noted by M

Luca, Thanks for that 15 minute video. Normally we discard random youtube links on time-nuts that simply have a word "watch" or "clock" in the title. But the one you posted is related to Ken Shirriff (www.righto.com) and by Marc Verdiell (CuriousMarc) of Apollo AGC fame, so they get a pass. T
