No, that\'s the whole range 0 to 70C.

Huh? What \'drift\' do you mean?

That\'s pretty funny. You can\'t get much further away. LOL

I feel for people like Phil. He doesn\'t even know he has an illness.

Starting from Sydney, the furthest-away city is St John’s, Newfoundland.
(Newfie’s location has some surprising advantages.)

Physical separation from Phil doesn\'t seem to help much. He was much the same when I was posting from Nijmegen as he is when posting from an adjacent suburb of Sydney.

Sydney is claimed to be the fourth most livable city in the world - Melbourne is third on that list. Vienna and Copenhagen are first and second

I don\'t think that his proximity comes into it.

I also looked at using just a 4096, which gives me the oscillator, but I can\'t see how to make it divide by 20. I know there is a technique that combines some of the output signals via an EXOR to achieve divisors that are not powers of 2, but I can\'t find information on which signals to combine.

Back in the mid 1970s I was able to make 4013 oscillate but that was
with the first generation \"A\" family. Buffered 4013B parts proved
impossible to make oscillate.

Sorry to be late to see this thread.

4013A and 4013B are different parts. They have the same logic functions, but the A is single buffered and the B is double buffered. As such, the A has a workable range of input voltage which will produce a linear change in output voltage. The B series has a much, much more narrow range of input that will do anything other than switch the output rail to rail.

Anything with power gain can be made to oscillate, but not always with
a simple RC or crystal circuit.

Any sub-dollar MCU would run from 2^15Hz input and provide you with a
timer to divide by 20. Why bother using these ancient CD4000 parts?

and it\'ll have a dac or pwm to do a decent sinewave, but you have to know how to program it ...

All the program needs to do here is to setup a timer for /20 and connect
it to a GPIO somehow. With all due respect, if that\'s considered
difficult, I\'d suggest changing the hobby.

An off-the-shelf oscillator would work far better. RTC oscillators share
many traits with memcpy(): only selected few can make both *right*.

32kHz crystals are very hard to get oscillating.
Higher frequency oscillate with any circuit.

The thing that impresses me about the Pi is how they did everything
right.

1. There\'s no 64-bit counter that can be clocked from a 32768Hz clock.
2. The interpolators don\'t work with DMA.
3. The DMA can\'t auto-restart (without chaining).
4. Many IRQ sources share an IRQ line, so handler dispatching is annoying.

I use the RP2040 to decompress an FPGA bitstream, decode audio files for
playback and handle the WS2812B status LED chains, as the chip starts
first. The Artix does the rest.

Best regards, Piotr

I\'ve seen higher frequency xo circuits that weren\'t reliable in
production. The circuit and the caps have to match up with the crystal
motional equivalents, and thay can vary a lot. Some purchasing agent
buys a different crystal and it doesn\'t work.

The project has a tutorial element. People have to understand exactly what\'s going on, and walking them through the source code doesn\'t seem to be an acceptable way of providing it.
