Don't throw your inaccurate clock away! Use RX8025 to turn it to super accurate.
Quartz clocks usually use a 32.768KHz cylindrical quartz crystal which has a typical 20ppm error tolerance, this can produce a daily error by seconds as calculated below:
24*60*60*20/1e-6 = 1.728 seconds, monthly: 1.728*30 = 51.8 seconds, nearly a minute.
However RX8025, the Epson Real Time Clock chip, typical accuracy is at 5ppm, calculated as:
24*60*60*5/1e-6 = 0.432 second/day, that's only 12.96 second/month.
I bought the chip from Aliexpress, only 50 cents each, at my test, it can reach as high accuracy as half the specs, which is about 6 seconds per month!
I can't stop updating all my other clocks in my home.

Pros: easy to attach and remove, just need to clip to the barrel and stays steady. Cons: a little bit pain to adjust.

A drawing robot build from cd-rom motors and Arduino. Using 3 step motors, Ardiono UNO and CNC shield. It is easy and not cost too much when using CNC shield A4988 step motor driver. For better performance, you can swap A4988 with TMC2209 ,and can easily plug to CNC shield without altering anything. This is a prototype to prove the working concept, want to test with inkscape to generate the gco...
DIY - Turn your screw nut to a mini pinion gear puller
Просмотров 113 тыс.3 года назад
I came across the idea to make a puller from a M12 nut and a M6 screw, to get some pinion gears off my motors. M12 is the biggest one that I can find in my tool box, but Ideally I should have used a bigger one in order to deal with larger gears. Hope you will find this helpful.

Listen to Tesla coil speaker (music Tesla coil) playing plasma style music - 12 minutes long version
Просмотров 1023 года назад
I have assembled a music Tesla coil from the kit, it plays music very well. Please noted that the heat sinks come with the kit are too small so the transistor and MOSFET will get overheat easily. I have changed/added larger ones to make it work at normal heat for quite longer time. This clip is about 12 minutes long playing 5 songs. The audio is recorded through a Yamaha MG10xu (mixer) Shure PG...
