Jupiter GPS 10 KHz pin

DC

Thu, Mar 20, 2008 1:33 PM

I have a Jupiter based receiver that is not one of the standard
modules.  I'd like to see if I can get a 10KHz output from it, but I
don't know which pin of the 144 possible options to look at.

Would someone with a Jupiter board trace the connection from the 10 KHz
output back to the pin on the chip it originates from?  That would be a
huge help.  I suspect that you'll find it ends up on the chip labeled
11577-11.

Thanks for your time,
David Carr

David,

On the site http://gpskit.nl/, in the downloads directory, you can
find a lot of info on the Rockwell Jupiter board. I know the info you
are looking for is in there somewhere.

Best regards,
Tom

Tom,

Thanks for your reply.  I looked through the documents on that page but
unfortunately I don't think any quite address my question.
I think they'd have to have a schematic of the board itself to do that.

If someone would just stick a multimeter probe on the 10 KHz connection of
their module and then trace that signal back to the IC, I would
really appreciate it.

Thanks,
David Carr

Was this the same chip used in the Delorme Earthmate receiver?  If so, I
seem to recall adding the 1Hz and 10kHz output to mine.  Maybe I can find
it and ID the pin for you.

David,

If I hold my Jupiter in the position where the connector is on the
left and the 11577-11 is facing me then the 10kHz is on pin 20 of the
connector (top right) and this pin is connected to pin 13 counting
from the top right-hand-side of the IC.

In some ugly ascii graphics:


| Jupiter board
| o o=Pin20 --------------------------------- top
| o o | o | 1
| o o | | 2
| o o | |
| o o | 11577-11 | 13=10kHz
|

I can only hope this is readable in your mail program ;-)

Let me know if this comes out OK. If not I will do some
photoshopping :-)

On the TU30-D165 version of the Jupiter the relevant pin appears to be
the 13th pin up from the bottom on the LHS of the large chip in the
attached drawing.

David,

I can confirm. I measured it on a TU30-D140 and its on the same pin.
Bruce's graphic is rotated 180' compared to my ascii graphic.

Tom and Bruce,

Thanks for probing out this line for me.  You two are indeed correct, as I
found a nice looking 10 kHz signal on the pin you identified.
My GPS is a TravRoute CoPilot serial "hockey puck" which happens to have a
Jupiter chipset (FW 1.83 1997).  I thought that this GPS (my first)
was about done, but I think its found some new life...

Thanks,
David Carr
