Re: ha server time problem

Sure can but the secret is in the code not the circuit. The parts came from
Maplin and are numbers MK68Y and MK72P which are the aerial and receiver
module totalling 25 quid. I looked into making these myself and it seems
there is no easy economic way of doing it so bite the bullet and buy them.
Once you have them connecting it all up is not too hard but read the rather
crap instructions as this helps. In use the modules are very sensitive and
will receive a signal where my bought atomic clocks will not ;-))

Once you have these parts you will need a 'thingy' I don't remember which
essentially converts the wimpy signal into 0 or 5v for a digital input.
Feed this into a micro and go from there into the program. I will look out
my notes on the circuit and post back soon. My code is fairly robust but
currently does debugging stuff when the signal fails. It is not for the
faint hearted either.

There is an RS232 module which may suit your needs but that is another 25
quid which is why I built my own PIC based decoder.

Could you share the details of your circuit? Thanks.
