AN/CRM-114 on Nostr: remember that Everset ES100 WWVB-PSK dev board i was going g to play with last year? ...
remember that Everset ES100 WWVB-PSK dev board i was going g to play with last year? I finally had time to get out my pinecil and get it to work. Things I learned:
- i’m still a hot mess with a soldering iron but the pinecil helps
- the ES100 takes a while to get a full time frame on boot, like 20-60 minutes, but eventually gets there even in the basement
- that’s why the dev kit has a battery backed RTC
- the smaller tracking frames will correct drift of up to 4 seconds which with the RTC should be fine
- the whole thing comes with two chonky ferrite core antennas to sip that 5km wavelength
all in all pretty cool and definitely could fit into a RC2014 form factor with suitable antenna leads
