Are you still going for Sidereal time? If so that is floating point The ARM processor unlike the Arduino does not have fixed pin assignment. Typically there are many UARTS, I2C interfaces, ADC units and so on more than there are physical pins. Within some limits you assign functions to pins in

Also consider the $16 Chip Pro (https://getchip.com/pages/chippro), which runs linux and thus lets you write normal code for the normal things. They also have a $9 more arduino-like version (still runs linux) -j On Sun, May 14, 2017 at 11:22:57PM -0700, Chris Albertson wrote: > Are you still

Hello Time-Nuts, Anyone out there have ANY information on the CTS Knights JKTO-66 Frequency Standard? Seems that even Google has never heard of it. The particular one that I have is three boxes (battery, power supply, and oscillator in very large dewar) mounted on a 4U rack panel. BTW, the one

Never heard of this one but having lived in Sandwich all my life, would love to see some pictures if you have any.  I casually collect Faberadio/James Knights/CTS Knights crystals and related.  I'm not aware of any catalog archives available through the local historical society but will cleck

I have a HP 55300A GPSDO that works well except for having the wrong date. It does not decode the date from the GPS correctly. It has firmware 3704-D. This appears to be pre Y2K. Does anybody have newer firmware for one of these. ? Gary ___

Sorry for the email with zero new content. It was a "mis-click". Don't bother with a stand-along logic analyzer. They were designed for the old days with people built stuff using about a hundred or so 74xxx TTL chips.No one does that any more.Today we use micro controller and FPGA and

That Chinese guy selling boards shipped for $1.67 is buying the boards, paying for postage and 10% commission to eBay and STILL earning some income.It's an insane price and the unit is dramatically more powerful than Arduino and $1.67 is so close to "free" that I don't care about the
