Sidereal seconds hand
I spent some time thrashing about trying to make sure that the circuit was producing the correct output. I decided to try the Hz counter on my DMM, to see whether it could give me an accurate enough reading. Hooked … Continue reading
Sidereal clock, baby!
…well, I’d need an oscilloscope to confirm, of course. But I converted the Bresenham/Black algorithm to Arduino code, mixed in code from a Timer Interrupts tutorial from the web (I should link to that here), and loaded it up. Worked … Continue reading

Sidereal clock circuit — progress!
I’ve been kicking around the idea of making an accurate sidereal clock circuit for years now. I’ve discussed it all before, but the basic idea is that I want to be able to create a circuit that oscillates at 32857.715Hz … Continue reading
