What is it?

CANADUINO® Atomic Clock AM Receiver Kit is available as 77.5kHz version for reception of DCF77 signal from Mainfingen, Germany, and also in 60kHz version for WWVB, MSF and JJY60 (North America, England, Japan). The receiver module is build around the fantastic receiver chip from MAS (Finland), comes with 4 status LEDs, voltage controller, and CMOS buffer outputs for inverted and non-inverted signal.

We are sure this is the most sensitive, reliable and versatile module of its kind available today. This said, it will be the perfect receiver for your own atomic clock projects. With the super wide supply voltage range of 2-15V, the additional inverted output, and the 10mA output current capability will it also be the perfect choice for retrofitting.

Since both kits for 60kHz and 77.5kHz use the same module, the crystal and the antenna are not factory assembled and require soldering.

This is in the kit:

• CANADUINO® Atomic Clock AM Receiver Module
• Crystal 77.503kHz or 66.003kHz
• Fine tuned loop stick antenna 77.5kHz or 60kHz
• Male pin header

Why did we make it?

We are the only manufacturer we know about who offers Atomic Clock Receiver modules designed for microcontroller projects and replacement part for older or defective atomic clocks.

What is your advantage?

Other brands discontinued their atomic clock receiver modules already years ago, but the demand is still there, and rising. Thanks to easy to learn platforms like Arduino, and a growing community of makers and tinkerers.

Important information:

Before you start with your project, we highly recommend you go on Wikipedia and read the article about DCF77 and WWVB time signal and its format.
