1hz quartz oscillator

made for my nixie clock.it is a lot more precise than using the mains frequency as a time base.

Really ? Where are you from ?

unfortunately, i don't have an oscioscope yet. i hope i'll buy one soon. what i can say about this oscilator is that it's very very sensitive. i broke my oscilator twice while working on my nixie clock.maybe i made some mistakes on the dividers..i'm only 14 and not all of my kits work at the first time i turn them on. i'm still working on my nixie clock...

p.s : at startup, it starts working after a few seconds, before that, the output is low .

That's heck of a switch you got there. *SCHLLAAAACK*

The mains here are fairly accurate, because of the switching stations and phase synchronizations.

@SVKmellow wheres the schematic to biuld that 1hz oscilater circiut

Hey!!! Great stuff! I just dissasembled a broken quartz watch but I'm still not sure what to do with the oscilator. Does the oscilator return a sine wave or block when power goes through it? It would be so much easier with an osciloscope. I'll try to sneak it into class and measure what's happening but I'd be great if you could help.
