Also good. I like the variable swing rate too. I would think it would be a small task for someone to grab the output for you chimes and trigger an off the board uC to run their own gizmo. I happen to have a uC all programmed with tunes that I'm sure will work with your new innovation. Dennis

This one accelerates and slows down as it sweeps, mimicking a real pendulum. The other jumper, looks to be used to modify the chimes. One setting with, and one without the 8 note preamble. I have very "tin" ears. Even though, I intellectually understand dissonance, its hard for me to get a real sense of it. Like describing the taste of food to someone with no taste buds, or sense of smell. I have the RTC code working today. Its mostly copied and pasted from old projects. A couple of mods. Different I/O pins, to be reassigned. Also this one has the alarm time to be saved, and restored. I'm also gathering parts. I made some partial purchases from some new hobby houses, to evaluate their products. The bulk is coming from main stream guys like Mouser, Newark (Farnell), and Digikey. I have to do a more thorough evaluation of the microcontroller, and RTC chip, before I make comments. Some seem to have problems. But I have to make sure their products are defective, before outing them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
