Re: Master Clock contact duration?
I guess the duration depends on how long the gravity arm takes to reset? I would imagine that different clocks would have small differences, maybe power supplied, type of reset arm, strength of coils,

Re: Master Clock contact duration?
.heic, is a much more compressed format,about half the size of a JPG which still produces full quality images. A bit like jpg was to bmp.
here is a screenshot of heic vs. jpg.
I expect microsoft will

Re: Master Clock contact duration?
Here are 3 oscilloscope captures - which shows how much the impulse duration can vary. Trace 1 is an early clock running a largeish system via a distribution board. Despite the master movement

Re: Master Clock contact duration?
Ive done this already Darren, using an Atmega, and a P FET driver. Just make the pulse width a variable in your software. Ill have a lookntokorrow snd see how many ms i ended up with.

Hi Darren,
Have you thought of buffering the synchronome pulse with a monostable circuit? There are two benefits from doing this; you get a repeatable clean pulse as your input and you can set the

Hi
I am making an Arduino interface between a Synchronome master clock, slave clocks and a slave Solidine Cifra 12 flip clock that requires a bi-polar 48V pulse.
Does anyone know

Re: pallet, was [synchronomeelectricclock] Synchronome contacts pitted
It's also worth noting that, in answer to an earlier query regarding the backstop roller, the text describes putting "a head on it" before passing the wire through the glass bead and then bending it

I was going on holiday so just posted Hope-Jones’ drawing of an impulse pallet for Naing.
Now I have attached the two pages where the text refers to it as that may be some help.

James,
I would be very surprised if you have to consider the change in circuit resistance due to temperature, I don't think this will vary to any appreciable degree. The inductance will

with suitable resistance you can use any voltage but sadly you will have to start sticking those yellow high voltage warning labels over the clock
