I got a couple of these 60KHz WWVB time signal receiver modules used for atomic clocks from Universal Solder in Canada.
In USA it would be for WWVB, in Europe DFC77 but I think the time signals sent by both are similar format just different RX frequencies.

I'd like to interface to a MM. I see some code out there Arudino but so far only one example for MM. I found the DFC77 Digiclock code on FOTS but that's about it.

I think it is sufficiently close to what I need to work with. Universal Solder sells a DFC77 version of the module also so it seems like the RX freq is the only difference. I have not studied the time code formats of WWVB vs DFC77 to see if they are different though.

Any thoughts on this or know of code out there?

Thanks!

PicFan wrote a DCF77 program for the Micromite here.
I don't know WWVB but the DCF77 signal is quite simple.

Here are more informations about DCF77.
