MINIATURE ATOMIC CLOCK MAC – SA5X IS ONLY 2 X 2″

MINIATURE ATOMIC CLOCK (MAC – SA5X) IS ONLY 2 X 2″

Miniature Atomic Clock (MAC – SA5X) Rubidium Oscillator, re-designed for improved stability and new features. The MAC-SA5X is designed for applications that require long-term atomic oscillator stability, but are constrained by size and low power requirements. Versatile Microchip’s next-generation MAC-SA5X miniaturized rubidium atomic clock produces a stable time and frequency reference that maintains a high degree

THE SEVEN SEGMENT DISPLAY THATS ALSO AN INPUT DEVICE

THE SEVEN-SEGMENT DISPLAY THAT’S ALSO AN INPUT DEVICE

We’re used to seeing all manner of seven-segment displays, be they mechanical, electronic, or something in between. But what all these displays have in common is that they’re, you know, displays. Using them as inputs would just be crazy talk, right? Perhaps, but we like where [Dave Ehnebuske] is going with “InSlide,” the seven-segment input device.

NETWORK CLOCK USING ESP8266 AND OLED DISPLAY

NETWORK CLOCK USING ESP8266 AND OLED DISPLAY

There are several situations where using an RTC could adversely affect your project by increasing cost, size, time accuracy or IO requirements. To prevent this, especially in ESP/WiFi-based or other clock-reliant projects, makers usually turn to obtain time information from NTP servers. I recently came across a project by BitsandBlobs which used standalone NTP Servers and I felt

Clock with Tics (presentation prototype) using Arduino

Clock with Tics is an Arduino-powered 24-hour digital clock that displays expletives at random intervals. A clock ‘ticks’. A ‘tic’ (note the different spelling) can be a mental disorder and can manifest itself in a number of ways; most seriously, someone suffering from “Tourette’s Syndrome” will blurt out swearwords involuntarily. I had thought of titling
