[time-nuts] New timing receivers?

2014-05-06 Thread Mark Sims
I have done a PCB that has connectors/mounting holes for the Adafruit, Crius CN06 (uBlox Neo 6M), and Resolution-T and -SMD receivers. It has a DB9, 3.3V regulator, and MAX232A chip. It can drive the 1PPS signal (either polarity) to the CD signal on the DB9. Power to the circuitry can be ra

A couple of points I discovered while building these things. This morning I got an Adafruit Ultimate (MTK3999) and a uBlox neo-6M module. The first thing I discovered after looking at the specs , was that both have on board LDO 3.3V regulators, so you can feed them 5V without harm. I had want

I'm not sure what value 20 pieces is - but the LEA-6T still frequently goes for $150, so wishful thinking is the LEA-8F won't be too far from that. A Tbolt (new) is much, much more. I'm not too familiar with the prices of other pre-integrated GPSDOs. On Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 7:43 AM, Attila Ki

Looks like they are doing exactly what I suggested as one of the alternatives for saw tooth correction. They have a VCTCXO in the module, with the computing power in their chip a no brainer. the question is how much will it cost and how important will it be for a GPSDO. Final cost at maximum
