I am recently fiddling with an old Bluetooth receiver to use it as a time source for my Arduino chrondot clock. Please note it’s already been done[wyolum.com] and an interesting graph of Chronodot drift is provided. First of all I decided to get a good look at the NMEA stream coming out of the GPS … Leggi tutto
My Arduino is quite old, and I had to upgrade the firmware to address some issues that arose with serial. Basically I used Windows XP and those resources: http://arduino.cc/en/Hacking/DFUProgramming8U2 but it’s no so verbose, it’s useful as a general introduction. I soldered a 10K resistor like advised, but then I decided to rely on this … Leggi tutto
I recently started experimenting again with Arduino and must say I am having a lot of fun.
I had the idea to implement an RTC clock with arduino and excellent Macetech Chronodot and got myself the needed parts from Adafru.it. As it often turns out with Arduino project, someone already had the same idea (and luckily they used the Chronodot too): before reinventing the wheel a fast google search revealed “An Arduino LCD clock using the ChronoDot RTC”.
