Hi Calibrating the G sensitivity of the oscillator can be done much more easily by simply rotating it 360 degrees while carefully reading out the frequency. If you want the full vector, you will need to rotate it through two circles, with the plane of one 90 degrees out relative to the other.

In my project, I was using LT6957 to share 10Mhz from my TBolt. It was perfectly fine for my setup. I split 10Mhz to feed the clock of MCU and second output was connected to DDS block (AD 9852). Regards, Vlad On , Chris Wilson wrote: 27/03/2015 17:14 My T/Thunderbolt has operated

Hi So … what does the TBolt use to buffer the RF? Hmmm …. a logic gate. I wonder what would work in a gizmo to split the signal …. maybe a couple of logic buffers? Costs $1 for the parts. Works fine. Bob On Mar 29, 2015, at 9:57 AM, Brian Lloyd br...@lloyd.aero wrote: On Fri, Mar 27,

I want to thank everybody for their help on this. Thanks to the list, I have plenty of ideas that I can prototype so I'll keep you posted what I end up trying and how well it works eventually. -Bob On 03/25/2015 09:27 PM, Robert Watzlavick wrote: I want to develop a tracking system for an

Re: [time-nuts] Z3810AS PPS to a Raspberry Pi

2015-03-29 Thread Dan Watson
The delay between the PPS and the rising edge of the 555 output is 150 ns. This is with the 555 running on 3.3V. I could likely get a faster rise time if I ran the 555 on 5V, though I would then have to level shift the output back to 3.3 for the GPIO pin. Not a big deal, as long as there is a
