Compatible with major global time signals (WWVB, JJY60, MSF), it supports microcontrollers at 3.3/5V logic levels and operates across a wide 2-15V range. The kit includes a premium tuned antenna and requires soldering, making it ideal for DIY electronics enthusiasts and professional developers seeking reliable, long-range atomic clock reception.

## Description

OverviewCANADUINO WWVB Atomic Clock AM Receiver module V3 for 60kHz and 77.5kHz is the most advanced and best-equipped AM Atomic Clock Receiver module for DIY projects available.We designed this product around the awesome receiver chip from Micro Analog Systems (Finland). This module is in particular designed for use with microcontrollers in an operating voltage range of 2 to 15V, and standard logic levels 3.3 / 5V.The kit includes a high-quality, fine-tuned 60kHz antenna with a Q-factor of over 100.The WWVB Atomic Clock AM Receiver module can also receive any other 60kHz atomic clock AM signal, like:– JJY60 (Japan)– MSF (England)FeaturesThe advantages over other modules from other manufacturers:– wide operating voltage range 2* to 15V– 60 mm tuned high-gain, high-Q antenna– current consumption <100µA (LEDs off)– super high sensitivity of 0.4V (RMS)– power down control pin– fast start-up– AGC control on/offThe kit needs soldering. Crystal, antenna, and pin header are not factory assembled.Downloads and DocumentationIf you don’t want to develop your own code, you can find many projects online, using our receiver kit, like for example Bruce Hall’s perfectly documented WWVB Clock with TFT colour display: Bruce Hall’s Atomic Clock Project Description, Instructions and Code on GitHubPlease also check Andrew Hooper’s WWVB Atomic Clock Arduino project and Benjamin Russel’s AVR-ASM-WWVB-Atomic-Clock on GitHub.We highly recommend reading the official Wikipedia article about WWVB (Fort Collins) time signal to better understand how these clocks work.Download a detailed datasheet for the MAS6180C receiver IC.Documentation CANADUINO WWVB Atomic Clock Receiver Kit (V2)Please find the Atomic Clock Radio Signal Map on NIST website to learn about the

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it compatible with a Raspberry Pi?**
A: The MSF clock has a very simple protocol, it is sends the time as a sort of morse-code.
It is a nice little unit which gives you the 'morse-code' as a as a robust 5volt signal
Every minute you RX sixty  bits which tell you year, date and time. One bit is a synch-bit which gives exact time to within a few ms.
Because each bit occupies 1 second and the coding is very simple it should be easy to write a program for R-pi

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What you may not know.
*by A***R on 13 February 2019*

I designed a decoding board to be driven by a 60KHz r.f. signal from the Rugby transmitter (which is no longer at Rugby, by the way). When this minute receiver arrived, I found that half the circuitry on my pcb was already inside the encapsulated receiver. It is a Phase Lock Loop (PLL).The advantages of a PLL is that it can cut through noise and deliver a clean output, albeit logic or simply ON/OFF. Their response to a synchronised signal is extremely fast and the rise and fall times are so brief as to be almost immeasurable i.e. nanoseconds. However, they do take a finite time to synchronise, sometimes minutes, but usually <30 secs or so, dependent upon signal strength.This receiver, supplied by Universal Solder, has a sensitivity of 4 uV, which is quite respectable for a ferrite aerial. For those of you who reside at extreme distances from a transmitter, and who find reception poor to impossible, the signal to noise ratio may be improved by adding ferrite rods in a bundle (3 or so), surrounding the one already connected to this receiver. There have been some excellent reports about this receiver when operated at vast distances from their respective transmitters, especially from large countries like Canada and the U.S.The receiver runs at a maximum of 5 volts and burns micro-watts of energy, it being CMOS based. The output pulses are DC, not r.f., and their amplitude will be within a few percent of the supply rail voltage. The minimum operating supply is 3.5V. at which it will perform quite well.The aerial's ferrite-mounted coil is solid copper wire, not Litz wire, and is therefore quite brittle by comparison. Whilst it will tolerate a reasonable amount of flexing, great care needs to be taken when handling the 'heavy' ferrite rod and the minuscule micro-miniature p.c.b. when soldering etc. Namely, don't allow the ferrite aerial to dangle on the aerial wire, even accidentally. A second pair of hands will be useful when soldering the tiny lands associated with the additional connections.Whilst we are always keen to 'give it a burn', you are strongly advised to mount the pcb and aerial as soon as you have made all the connections. You should browse for UniversalSolder.ca and select the device from the list of other units supplied by this company. The instructions are clear and easy to follow ... just three pages.A point to note. Holding the receiver in your fingers will very likely introduce spurious or weakened r.f. signal response, as will the proximity of other loose wiring e.g. on a test rig. Leave the unit alone and be patient. Give it at least a minute to stabilise and produce pulses ... an oscilloscope isn't a must, but will prove quite reassuring.For MSF Rugby users in the UK, the first 0-100mS is the Seconds' Pulse. From 100-200 is the code (one bit per second) and from 300-400mSecs is the 'B' code. A fully detailed information sheet may be found on Wikipedia MSF Rugby, if, like me, you are designing your own decoder using hardware.All the work is done for you in this receiver, it producing nothing but seconds and coded output. In terms of performance, I don't think it will ever be bettered, as physics, in this case, have been mastered. It is a well- designed circuit, its small size enhancing performance.P.S. You may find it difficult to remove the ferrite rod and circuit board from the 'test tube', as they are rammed in to prevent movement during transit, and pulling the board to extract the ferrite via its aerial wiring is not recommended! Saw off the end of the tube and push the ferrite rod out with a pencil ... better safe than sorry.Apex Systems (UK) Ltd

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Product
*by M***H on 11 April 2021*

About 40 years ago I built a clock from the design in Radio & Electronics World (April 1983)and it has proved very reliable. In that time I have only had to replace the Z80 processor,which may have failed from overheating.But I never had much success with the 60kHz receivers (two designs) and aerials (ferrite rodand wire frame aerials). Aerials extremely directional and poor reception in daylight hours.This Canaduino module has transformed the clock. It comes as a kit, but very little solderingrequired. But you do need to be competent in soldering tiny parts (the crystal).It was very well packed inside a small plastic box. I don't know whether the box was intendedto house the built-up unit, but that's what I did. With careful measurements and drilling Imounted the ferrire rod with cable ties, the PCB with M2.5 screws, and two phono sockets.One for power, the other for data.It seems quite tolerant of direction, but I'm relatively close to the Anthorn transmitter(about 135 km, 84 miles). It may be more critical at greater distances.Highly recommended.
