DCF77 WORLD


Modifying my 100% Chinese alarm clock , I discovered an interesting world.
At the frequency of 77.5KHZ is tranmitting the VLF station DCF77.

Capturing the tiny time digital code (0-1.5V) , by an optoisolator
I made a qucik sincronization with a microcontroller PIC16F84.
I was able to extract one pulse per mitute , necessary for
triggering my 5 mW SOLAR MEPT.
