Re: 14-/16-segment LED's with magnifying cupole and NO ascii rom?
Do you mean displays like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/samwibatt/2334929037/ I found those on eBay a few years back, not sure if there's any reliable supply of them to be found. As I recall

14-/16-segment LED's with magnifying cupole and NO ascii rom?
Have there ever been manufacured any 14- or 16-segment miniature alphanumeric LED displays with magnifier cupole that does not have an integrated ASCII-ROM? IMHO one of the most fascinating LED's ever

Nice & Compact Nixie Tube Multimeter?
Hello folks, I was wondering - since my 5EUR quick'n'dirty multimeter is no longer working satisfactory - if it was time to invest some money in a decent Nixie tube multimeter. By decent I mean that

Due to items going out of production many years ago i forcast prices going up at a rate of knots once the russian stocks are diminished. I expect we will all be looking for rare "led" displays in 10

Re: To use an external RTC or not?
How does the TXCO compare to the old way of using the 60 Hz signal off of mains. My understanding from prior posts is that the power grids monitor this and adjust the frequency over 24 hrs to keep

Re: To use an external RTC or not?
You can achieve the same accuracy as a TXCO (2ppm / 1minute/yr ) w/just an xtal-controlled microcontroller and a thermistor; But you'd spend more time getting that code to work. It still doesn't solve

Hi Dan, Firstly: I'm sure that Moses has a clock function running on a timer interrupt. These are very easy to implement, and there are lots of examples online. It is generally advantageous to use an

I have noticed that some designers use an Atmel microprocessor with an external RTC and TXO, others use an Atmel microprocessor with an integral crystal (surface mount), and still others like Moses
