It works quite well be can take a minute or so to read the fix. Once working it is quite stable and very rarely loses the plot.<br /><br />I suspect it'll quite a job to substitute the gps code for the msf code. A mountain for me but no doubt relatively easy for you clever chaps.<br /><br />AlexAlex Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985363196485318644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953397841255562532.post-4817953177286808772012-07-18T11:31:47.610+01:002012-07-18T11:31:47.610+01:00I use a radio-controlled clock or watch to start t...I use a radio-controlled clock or watch to start the beacon off, then the software starts a new cycle every n*2 minutes. I also have a GymBoss which can be modified to send a pulse rather than beep an alarm every x minutes.<br /><br />A GPS reference sounds a nice idea but I can never get a fix from inside the house (or even near it) due I presume to the high level of RFI in the area. An MSF-based reference might work better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984840704237681015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953397841255562532.post-78818190756859309452012-07-18T09:23:21.160+01:002012-07-18T09:23:21.160+01:00Mine is on order.
