We should be able to write some software that would beep (or blink a LED) 
when the signal strength or delay jumped far enough.  You could send a bit of

Re: [time-nuts] time-nuts Digest, Vol 109, Issue 57

2013-08-15 Thread Russ Ramirez
Hi Chris,

The fundamental issue was that the same code that worked elsewhere could
not decode the 0x8F-AB packet data 100% of the time. I saw the length of
this packet vary by a few bits at the code level, so I used a logic
analyzer with serial decode to examine the raw data coming in to the
Arduino, but that was perfect 100% of the time, and thus the serial port
breakout card was functioning OK as I expected. I am reasonably certain my
code was fine, but there is always room for some uncertainty there. The
project was not so important to me that I was going to spend the time to
wrestle down the problem until it was solved.

I like the Arduino platform, and because of Wiring and Processing it
definitely has a place out there and have had no issues using the same UNO
with XBee for example doing some neat mesh networking projects. I also have
a Leonardo and a Netduino and about a dozen other micro-controller boards,
but I just felt that had I used a TI or a PIC board I would have nailed
this first-time with less effort. As far as a PCB goes, you're correct of
course, but I already do that sort of thing and would not shy away from it.

Yeah, if you can get a LH-like application, maybe optionally driving a
color LCD, that would be very cool. For any of these TB apps, I agree that
using a PC is overkill, but when you already have them sitting around it's
not so bad. I like Adam's board, and any approach like this, because when
you put together a TB and a power supply in an enclosure, you're probably
going to have room to add a control panel and I think it makes for a nice
self-contained solution.

Russ

What was the problem you found.  Other then a new to you platform?  I'm
 trying to understand why reading serial data would be hard.

 An advantage of the Adruino is that you don't need to make a PCB.  Even if
 you want to do something like add a graphical display or and SD card for
 logging they just plug in, no solder required.

 Of course the pre-buillt display is even easier but can't be modified.

 One of my loner term goals is to move lady heather like functions onto a
 small uP based device.  It seems wasteful to use a PC for this.

[time-nuts] RFTGm-II-Rb - can you gps discipline it without the XO module?

2013-08-15 Thread Alan Kamrowski II
Hi Everyone,

 

I've only got the RFTGm-II-Rb module.  I found an interface cable
specification here:

 

http://www.ko4bb.com/Manuals/05%29_GPS_Timing/RFTG-m/RFTGm%20Interface%20Cab
le.pdf

 

Does anyone know if feeding a 1pps signal to pin 9 might discipline it?  Or
does it need the other connections such as GPS data, etc.

 

Is there a ground on this connector?

 

Thanks!

[time-nuts] Lady Heather without a PC

2013-08-15 Thread Robert Atkinson
Hi Chris,
I've posted this before, but it's worth saying again. I use the PocketPC 
version of Lady Heather on an IPAQ. These are available for next to nothing on 
Ebay and can run in a dock on the bench or you can gut it and embed it in a 
cased Thunderbolt. worn out batteries are not an issue as we have constant 
power available. They just need 5V. One with an SD card slot is good so you 
don't have to re-load the code from a PC if the power does go out.

Re: [time-nuts] RFTGm-II-Rb - can you gps discipline it without the XO module?

2013-08-15 Thread Rex
I don't think the rubidium module for these systems can be disciplined. 
I think they were only intended as a backup if the XO section or GPS 
failed. The XO section does discipline but I don't know the details.


I'm not sure of the model number, Lucent had several variations on the 
same theme in that time frame. I had one of the rubidiums that may be 
the same as yours. Trying to trace out some of the circuits, I found 
that the EFC on the LPRO connector was not being used at all.

I don't think the rubidium module for these systems can be disciplined. 
I think they were only intended as a backup if the XO section or GPS
failed. 
The XO section does discipline but I don't know the details.

I was hoping since the rubidium module had a light for GPS and an input for
the GPS that it also did the same thing.

Trying to trace out some of the circuits, I found that the EFC on the 
LPRO connector was not being used at all.

That is too bad, but that proves it all right.

I tried to feed a 1pps signal into the interface pin 9 to see what would
happen, but the NO GPS light never went off and it didn't pull the frequency
at all.

So far I've done a 4 hour run between the Rb and GPS and counted
13939010 Rb cycles to 13939 GPS 1pps pulses or 1000.0007174 Hz for
the Rb.

So your Rb is 0.71 ppb off frequency. 

That's far enough that's it's worth adjusting. You should be able to get it 10X

 Is it 0.71 ppb off or 0.071 ppb off?

[time-nuts] Star Box

2013-08-15 Thread Joseph Gray
I just picked up a Star Box for $10. It has an Allstar DGPS board inside. I
saw several mentions of similar boards in the archives and I have found
some documentation on the net. Has anyone actually used one of these in a
GPSDO? Does it work any better than the usual Motorola, Rockwell, or other
available boards?

The other thought is, since this is a DGPS board, how difficult would it be
to use it to obtain a more accurate position fix? Or do I need other GPS
boards to correlate this one with?

I'll admit that so far, I have only skimmed the documentation that I
downloaded. If I need to RTFM for my answers, just tell me so.

Some data on what I have:

Star Box Part No. 100-600304-100
(DGPS Base Station option is checked)

Inside the box is a carrier board that has a power supply and an RS-232
TX/RX chip. The GPS board that plugs onto the carrier has a label on the
underside that says VAR 100. This corresponds to the suffix of the part
number on the box. The top side of the GPS board has the GPS receiver in a
large metal box that is imbossed ALLSTAR 12 and CMC, which is the
manufacturer (since then bought by Novatel?).
