It works in a very similar way to time from npl which broadcasts from the united kingdom at 60 khz the dcf77 modules that you can buy are generally simple radios.
For the arduino due the pin is usually digital pin 53. It used the arduino mega and the dcf superfilter by default and to drive the many seperate led s i now use the ports of an arduino mega instead of a maxim 7219 chip. Arduino forum development other software development dcf77 library for arduino synchronize with atomic. Hi erik, i just downloaded the file to my linux box and it extracted smoothly.

We also share information about your use of our site with our social media, advertising and analytics partners who may combine it with other information that youve provided to them or that theyve collected from your use of their services. I connected the receiver to arduino pin 2, because we can assign a flankdriven interrupt to it. Im going to add an dcf77 radio clock module so i wont have to bother with the functions to set the time. I have modified udo kleins super filter by adding extra status leds. The arduino nano every board is used to decode a dcf77time signal received with a dcf77ferrite receiver and transmits time and date with a hc12 module in the air as text. With its independent 32bit microcontroller, the cangineberry can easily execute can bus protocols with tough timing demands such as cancrypt or canopen with response.
