ch32v307 ch32v307 dev board, part 5 This covers a random issue I ran into. This ch32v307 microcontroller has a feature that I haven't seen before - a configuration option to exchange ram for flash size. My guess is they're
ch32v307 ch32v307 dev board, part 4 Next, I will cover connecting a GPS module to a NTP server over USB. This is part of a series on the ch32v307 dev board Previous project I previously setup PPS over USB
ch32v307 ch32v307 dev board, part 3 Next step on getting an NTP server running on the ch32v307 dev board is verifying the local clock. This is part of a series on the ch32v307 dev board There's two local clocks
ch32v307 ch32v307 dev board, part 2 I'm continuing to build a development environment for my ch32v307 based projects. In this post, I'll explore a problem I ran into. This is part of a series on the ch32v307 dev board
ch32v307 ch32v307 dev board The CH32V307 microcontroller caught my interest because it has both IEEE 1588 timer hardware and the capability to connect via gigabit ethernet. If I ported my NTP server software to it, this would
ntp NTP server frequency stability Stratum 2+ NTP servers have multiple potential sources of error, let's experiment with lowering them.
battery Battery backup for fridge, part 2 Continuing from part 1, I run my fridge on battery. Setup To start, I connected the inverter to the battery, first using the 1ohm resister to allow the capacitors to pre-charge then connecting
