Here you go, guys. I converted my Peter Jensen IN-14 clock (tubeclock.com) from a PIC to an Electric Imp. The clock (scroll down): http://store.tubeclock.com/index.php/nixie-tube-clocks/clocks The Imp: http://electricimp.com/ I built a small daughtercard that plugs into the PIC socket and

[neonixie-l] Atmel clock/timer projects

2013-11-04 Thread NeonJohn
I'm working on a simple count-down timer that will time from 0.1 to 999 seconds with 0.1 second resolution. I'm using an Atmel ATmega8515, probably not the best chip but I have a ton of 'em from another project. My problem is, it's not behaving anything like I expect. Up to about 10 seconds,

Hi John, I haven't done anything with AVR chips in a couple of years now, but I can only add that I've felt your pain. I built a lot of clocks using AVR parts, in a variety of designs and with a variety of AVR chips... and they all had strange repeatable timer issues. I do think that the

Hi John, Difficult to say something about it, without any code and hands on. I never liked CTC timer modes. Perhaps it is easier to have an interrupt generated only by a prescaler. Of cource that gives you weird time values, depending on your crystal, and may give an interrupt at every 57uS or

Great stuff Zandr - thanks for sharing. Can you tell us a bit about your experience of the development environment and wifi interface? What sort of wifi range have you achieved? Alex On Monday, November 4, 2013 7:13:21 PM UTC, Zandr Milewski wrote: On 11/4/13, 10:57 AM, Zandr Milewski wrote:

Thanks, looks like purchasing one or two will not be an imp-ulse buy. I'm dubious as to the 1km range - maybe in the desert using battery power, 10F decap, 1bit/s and directional antennae. Certainly not at 400mA anyway. 100m is plausible and would seem to imply no corners were cut in the RF
