[time-nuts] tcxo

[Jim Harman]

Folkert,

You don't make your detailed requirements clear, but you might be
interested in this module

http://www.adafruit.com/product/255

It uses a DS3231 chip, which is a 32.768 khz oscillator with built-in
temperature sensing. Based on the temperature, it automatically switches in
internal capacitors to adjust the frequency. You can access and control it
with an Arduino library, including adjusting the nominal frequency with
software.

Accuracy is not up to time-nuts standards, but will be much better than an
Arduino crystal may be adequate for your application.

Disclosure: I have no connection with the manufacturer or distributor, but
I did experiment with one of these before descending further into
time-nuttery.
