Double ticks and 100 Hz time code #5

Open Anthony96922 opened 4 years ago

Anthony96922 commented 4 years ago

I do like this simulator but it does not implement the 100 Hz time code or the double ticks heard on both WWV/WWVB. Complete time and date information is encoded on this subcarrier in BCD format. The double ticks are for carrying the difference between UTC and UT1 in tenths of a second.

Hi. Glad you like the project. The double ticks are something that might be doable, if I can find the time. The time code, on the other hand, is probably out of scope. Since this was mainly to give the masses an easy way to experience what WWV/H is mostly like, it leverages sounds clips. The time code would involve actual generation and audio processing that would likely be a project unto itself.

We could close this, The 100 Hz tone would be nice though.

There is a another simulator that does have the 100 Hz time code. I've added some stuff in my own fork so it also does voice announcements. Anthony96922/WWV

I found this a week ago on the web, and it's great because over the years, I thought to myself how cool it would be if someone could develop an app that would simulate Time stations like WWV/wWVH or CHU Canada. And this brings me to my question: is there an iOS app I can download that will perform this function, or do I have to run it from my browser?

kalafut commented 2 years ago

@AJ-MACHETE Currently it is just browser. I suspect someone could make it into an iOS app fairly easily? That actually sound like a fun project but I'm not sure when I'd be able to get to it.

100 Hz time code was added in #39 and is now live.
