Hi All,
I have a large "Old School" Slave Clock that requires a pulse be sent to a solenoid every minute to move the hands.
I want it to be reasonably accurate +/- 1 sec per week will be OK.
Question: Is the built in clock of the Picaxe 08M accurate enough to send a .5 sec pulse then count 59.5 sec and do it again (over and over)?
I have thought about using a DS1307 to keep time but really think it to be a bit of overkill if the Picaxe can keep reasonable time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Jamie
