Synopsis

EconetClock2 is the ATtiny45-20 firmware source code for the EconetClock2 project.

Motivation

This project creates an Acorn Econet clock suitable for use with Acorn computers from the 1980s and 90s. The Acorn Econet network is an EIA-422-B based network that is driven by a differential clock signal.

There are several designs for Econet clocks available on the Internet and even a few commercial providers of clocks, however most designs are based-on (or derived from) Acorn’s original design and require a complex, high-component count circuit in order to operate.

The clock created by this project consists of only 3 primary components (an ATtiny45-20 microcontroller, a capacitor and a resistor) and is therefore much easier to build.

Installation

Note: This is an AVR Studio 7 project that can be loaded and compiled by the IDE
