Maybe a bit offbeat here, but isn't there a possibility to hook up a GPS receiver to sync with that time signal? If you're into rally racing, other GPS info may be mighty interesting as well. Regards, Claudio -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- How large drift can I expect to be caused by temperature changes? I left my clock running last night and it was ahead 1 second after 3 hours and then stayed behind 4 seconds during next 6 hours. If the room temperature day/night change caused such a drift, what can you expect from extreme conditions in a rally car where temperature can change from -20C in the winter to +60C under the sun in the summer!? I'm starting to believe that using some kind of temperature controlled osc is a must in my case... -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
