Hello fellow time nuts:
I am interested in building a clock that will use embedded technology and
self set using the Network Time Protocol (NTP) from a given server. The
clock will be setup via USB and then get it's signals from either a RJ-45
network connection or via WIFI. I believe the software will be simple
enough, probably some form of embedded Linux ideally.
Where the problem lies is that I need to find the IC chips for clocks and
build a display . ideally my whole house would sport these clocks and get
their signal from my own NTP server or any of the public ones. My
prototype
clock would be a bedside alarm clock with only alarm set functions for any
buttons, the actual time setting would be as described above. If anyone
can
direct me to suppliers for these parts that is what I really need as well
as
to know what parts I need J
-----------------------
Perhaps an ideal starting point would be to read "Chronopolis" by J G
Ballard:-)
