[time-nuts] Symmetricom uccm module

2021-02-04 Thread paul swed
Some years ago these modules were mentioned on Time-nuts. They were typical Ebay stuff. I purchased one and really didn't do anything with it. Time goes by. Was organizing stuff and had forgotten I even had it. Fired it up and have to say its a pretty impressive little unit. Like the fact that when

Hello again everyone! I wanted to send out another message regarding the TimeHat to let you all know that I made a short video that includes some more information about it, including what all you get and how to set it up and use it. Even if you don’t get one of these modules from me it may help

[time-nuts] LEA M8T boards

2021-02-04 Thread Matthias Welwarsky
Dear all, When the availability of some surplus Ublox M8T modules was announced, I ordered a few of them and started designing a small breakout board for them. The design meanwhile had a little cool-down period and matured somewhat. Since I realized that for most people it can be quite daunting

Hi Pretty basic approach: 1) Get a Rb standard. 2) Grab any of the various conversion chips to take the 10 MHz to 54 (= I don’t know of a standard that puts out 54 MHz). Wire the 10 into it and pull the 54 off of it. (Yes, the chip needs to be programmed and there will be various bits and piec
