Subject: [CWTD] Precision Time Techniques & the Arduino ... tonight at 8pm on Teamspeak

  

Reminder about our CWTD show this evening at 8pm Eastern (0100z) … Will have good background on “time” and we’ll be kicking off an exciting new Arduino project.

Whiteboard material is available at … https://dl.dropbox.com/u/43021514/CWTD/Feb5.html

Hope you get a chance to join in!

73, George N2APB & Joe N2CX

Episode #48 of Chat With The Designers airs this Tuesday on Teamspeak at 8pm Eastern, 0100z … "What Time Is It?  Precision Time Techniques & the Arduino."

Time … you can’t beat it, make it, save it, store it, replay it or outrun it.  But we amateurs can measure time using a number of techniques for our benefit in the shack, in our rigs, in our QSOs, and more.  We’ll be overviewing the sometimes-esoteric world of timekeeping and time synchronization available to us (WWV, CHU, GPS, Rubidium, Cesium, etc.) and then spend a good amount of time on a unique Arduino-based project that can grow and be useful to each of us.

Our whiteboard material is not yet posted (will be tomorrow), but we wanted to give you a heads up tonight.  When it is ready you’ll be able to get to our material from the link at the top of the main CWTD website … https://dl.dropbox.com/u/43021514/CWTD/TeamspeakChat.html 

And here are some things you can get ready right now for the CWTD project this time. You might already have the Arduino Uno R3, proto shield and LCD shield, or you might prefer to get them from a different vendor (Sparkfun, Microcenter, etc) … but if not, MakerShed is a good place to get them:

1) Arduino Uno R3 … http://www.makershed.com/New_Arduino_Uno_Revision_3_p/mksp11.htm

2) LCD Shield Kit … http://www.makershed.com/LCD_Shield_Kit_p/mkwd08.htm
3) Prototype Shield: Maker Shed: http://www.makershed.com/MakerShield_p/msms01.htm
4) LCD … https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10054 [or order from the CWTD Project Room … https://dl.dropbox.com/u/43021514/CWTD/TeamspeakChat.html ]
5) Lastly, if you don’t already have a Rookey Kit, this project will be a good set of parts to use in this Arduino project. We reduced the price of the Rookey Kit to make this a good deal for our Arduino project and you’ll benefit from getting it along with the LCD (if you need either.) You can order this from the CWTD Project Room as well, of course.

So that’s it!  Should be fun this week.  To participate, all you need is a microphone and a computer connected to the Internet. The easy instructions for getting on with Teamspeak are at … http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43021514/CWTD/TeamspeakInstructions.html

See you on Tuesday evening!
