Hi All,

I just got a project working that I thought might be of interest to some =
folks here. I needed an accurate time source for several projects =
(including a clock that uses Nixie tubes to display the time, looks VERY =
cool) and Atomic clock modules aren't cheap. So what I did was take a =
Atomic clock module, interfaced it with a PIC 12F675, which then drives =
a 433mHz transmitter. Now, anywhere in the house (err, lab I mean) I =
have an accurate self correcting time base for the price of a 433mHz =
reciver, which is about US$15. Vey flexible can date stamp as well. Very =
simple project, and aside from the atomic clock module, very cheap.

Have fun!
