IEEE Spectrum, the magazine of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, is issuing a D-I-Y challenge that may be of interest to the members of this group. The goal is to build the most accurate possible digital clock for under $100, accuracy to be measured before disciplining with GPS, WWVB or other external aides. It is required that all parts be generally available; for instance, you can use an OCXO (by all means!) but only if it?s currently available on the open market. Display should be seven-segment LEDs?we?re looking for a usable appliance, not just a science project. Winner?s photo and project will be published on the magazine, its Web site, or both.
