Its not pretty but its a start

 

First part of the Arduino based clock is up and running although the code is based on a DCF 77Khz process it seems to return something at least even if its the wrong time.

A long way to go before I can get this onto a working LCD time piece that actually tells the right time and date but its a start. The fuzzy screenshot above tells me that I’ve managed to pinch enough code to get the receivers serial output to display something at least into a console. Believe it or not this is a massive step forward for me!

I’ll be looking to modify the code so that it works with the MSF60 protocol and outputs date and time so this can be written to a 2 line LCD. Once I’ve managed that I’ll sit down and realise that this stuff isn’t that easy for the likes of me. Still its all learning.
