      From: kraken.sankey@gmail.com              I also have a Rubidium 10 MHz reference generator from ebay.       >>>>       >>>> I think maybe use a 10 MHz piezo mounted against the watch as detector?       >>>> There are several piezo sensors for that frequency,       >>>> From:       >>>> https://duckduckgo.com/?q=10+MHz+Piezo+sensor       >>>> https://acs-international.com/instruments/transducers/pi       zoelectric-1-10-mhz/       I've ordered 5 of those to play with. I bought a 'watch' tester from       ali, stripped out and saw it had a piezo strapped across 2 metal pins       that the watch is held against. These seem to be designed for quartz       analogue watches- the app detects the missing motor pulses to correct       the time..( as opposed to 'pulling' the crystal like they did in the old       days)        In the box, the piezo is connected to an LM386 ( !) and a USB comms       chip to send data to the app. I can play some more now.                     --       This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software.       www.avast.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
