[time-nuts] New TIC test run

[Bob Stewart]

The link seems garbled for some reason with it inline so let me try again.

>I just put the schematic up at http://www.evoria.net/AE6RV/TIC/TIC2.bmp  However, there are some caveats: I did not have to use the level shifter Q1/Q2.  I am not yet using VR1.  (Actually the one I bought failed for some reason.)  R4 is actually 2.4K, and C1 is not being used.  The capacitors in the 18F2220 PIC are sufficient without C1.

>I'm not sure what you mean by "what is the range".  The ADC is 10 bits wide.  The output varies from about 150 to about 500 units over 360 degrees of phase error without the Voltage Ref.  It should be twice that when I get that in and working; though I am worried that it might clip on the high side so...
