nixiechron issue (was Nixiechrom woes)

[Alex Rubli]

my suggestion is to check that the new GPS puck  be set to issue the $GPRMC sentence, and 4800 baud, 8 bits, no parity. factory defaults issue a much more long $sentence... hope this helps

Yeah that would be great if I had a way to talk to the puck. PCs don't have serial ports any more.

USB to serial port adapters exist. Some of them actually work, so check reviews before getting one.

[Alex Rubli]

well finding a usb-serial adapter is the easy thing, in case you find out that the output is not the $GPRMC sentence, you will need a program in order to change it

(and of course the speed)

I guess it’s called SIRF, don’t remember

there is an old thread, hope this helps:

If you happen to have an Arduino board laying around, you can use that as a USB-serial adapter as well. Just tie the reset pin to ground.

Thanks for the ideas. It is working right now -- although I believe that getting to output string right would be better.

I do have Arduinos around and I could explore that path.

I have not had any luck getting my WWVB clock working yet..... and that one has the big Z568M tubes.
