Hi all
Recently I have be putting together a digital clock circuit nothing to difficult just using a bunch of 4026b decade counter / drivers to 6 seven segment displays showing 24hr's
I have this running fine under simulation using Livewire so now it's just a case of putting the circuit on board.
While playing around with this circuit I was thinking about timebase and the many ways to get to 1Hz but then I wondered about the MSF time signal from NPL. :
https://resource.npl.co.uk/docs/networks/time/meeting3/martin.pdf
This signal can be picked up by the "EMS2S MSF RECEIVER MODULE" made by Galleon:
**broken link removed**
Now I was wondering if I could integrate this module within my clock circuit and decode the MSF time signal .I searched the net for info and did not really find much that dealt with digital clock circuits that wasn't using a PIC.
My big question is- has anyone on the Forum used the "EM25S" in a clock circuit such as I am wanting to do.?
Also would anyone be able to advise me if this is really doable through the circuit I have built.?
It wouldn't really matter if I had to alter the circuit to accommodate for this.
Any advise would be a great help I also want to try and get my head around the time signal and how to manipulate it even if it doesn't end up in the clock
Regards Mark
