SCALE FLIPCLOCK MOD

Anything like that is going to add some small delay. It would be better if I did not have the optoisolator on there. It was a major pain soldering a wire to the chip, and in order to make the green wire remain connected, I had to put a big gob of glue on it after the soldering.
SCALE FLIPCLOCK HOW TO
I don’t know how to measure it but I suspect that the accuracy is probably around 1 microsecond. I still have not figured out what kind of box to put it in but I have these translucent plastic domes lying around, They are thin enough to be a good radome.(if the plastic is too thick it supposedly throws your time off measurably) The GPS has a flashing LED that is pretty bright.
SCALE FLIPCLOCK CRACKED
At that price I figured that I could afford to break it so I cracked one of them open and ended up converting it into an accurate time source by adding an optoisolator and a pulse stretcher, So now it does USB, serial and 1PPS.

At that price, I got a 50 MHz SPARC MCPU in there, a cheap crystal RTC with a battery back up, and an active patch antenna. A few months ago I got two surprisingly decent USB-based GPS dongles for $9/each. I don’t think a GPS is overkill for an alarm clock at all. Posted in clock hacks Tagged FlipClock, gps, propeller Post navigation While this clock would certainly be too dangerous for a chronic snooze button abuser like myself, it’s an interesting concept nonetheless!Ĭheck out the video below to see the FlipClock in action. In fact, there are no buttons to set the alarm either – the clock is configured to sound the alarm at the same time each day. That’s a good thing though, since there are no buttons with which to set the clock. Instead of using a real time clock IC, is using a GPS module to keep accurate time, something we don’t recall seeing in an alarm clock before. The clock is based around a Propeller chip, which manages all of the clock’s operations. The digits automatically right themselves using an accelerometer to detect when the clock has been turned upside down, and an indicator LED lets you know that the alarm has been turned off. When the alarm goes off, all one needs to do is flip the clock over to disable it. The FlipClock resides in a simple black plastic case lacking any buttons whatsoever. He was so annoyed with regular alarm clocks that he decided to build his own simpler timepiece. Hates fumbling around in the dark with his alarm blaring, looking for the off switch.
