BIG GPS Clock

Post by Mitchy » Sun Jul 25, 2010 10:43 am

Ok, its not the biggest GPS Clock ever built - but its big on a scale of normal "indoor clocks" :wink:

The segment displays are physically 4 inches tall, while the whole project is a little over 6.5 inches in height.

The project is really quite simple - there's a GPS module at the core that has excellent gain (for indoor reception), 4 segment displays, and a controller board. Here's what's inside:

The code is still in its early stages (completely stable, I'd like to add more features) - for more info about parts/source code/schematic - check out the project write up at Digital DIY: Big GPS Clock

Brad would likely be familiar with the section from work where the clock is now located :wink:

Ah the memories. That's about the only window in the whole building!

Nice project by the way, all those electrons travelling through outer space just to tell you guys when to knock off from work :)

Excellent! - Nice professional finish as well.
