About

I design and build small, useful electronic things. I started in 2013 after leasing an electric car and deciding that I could build my own charging station. Since then, I've gone on to design lots of things to fill particular needs.

The name of my store is partly a nod to Arduino's Italian roots, since Arduino got me into microcontroller engineering, and that led to everything else. I also like the image of Geppetto, working away in his workshop making little things that come to life.

GPS Clock works great

For GPS Clock

Assembly went pretty quickly and I found a good GPS lock for the antenna on a window sill. For me it's useful that the antenna lead and the power cord are located on the sides as that allows placement in a shallow area. Assembly instructions are online only but are pretty descriptive. A couple of assembly pictures would be nice.

Thanks so much. Only place with a sidereal (sky) clock!

For Crazy Clock

The only place I found offering a sidereal clock for our DIY sky clock. Thanks so much. And thanks for answering technical questions.

Antenna placement is important.

For GPS Clock

The GPS clock has to continuously receive the signals from the satellites in order to continuously display the time. I tried putting the antenna in a south facing window and the clock showed the time about 80% of the time. I expect that the fact that my house has aluminum siding was causing problems as that would block the signal from many of the satellites. I bought an extension cable for the antenna intending to put the antenna on the roof. But a friend suggested that I try putting the antenna up on the second floor or perhaps in the attic. With the antenna on the second floor about 3 feet above the floor the clock showed the time about 95% of the time. With the antenna in the attic the clock shows the time 100% of the time.
I bought my clock in kit form and had no problem building it. But I have worked as an electronic technician. If you have no experience soldering parts to a circuit board then you should probably buy it already assembled.
The antenna specifies that it wants 3.3 volts for power but my clock came setup to supply 5 volts. This does not seem to cause any problems but I re-jumpered it to supply 3.3 volts.

excellent board for the FE-56x0a Rb oscillators

For FE-5680A GPS Discipline module

Works great, I just wish there was a little more concise documentation. I was able to figure out most of my questions from the schematics and the project log entries on hackaday.io, but putting all the pinouts and mode description in one place would make it a little easier to use.
