More ES100 / WWVB BPSK chips
There were couple WWVB threads recently.
One of the questions was if the La Crosse UltrAtomic 404-1235UA-SS wall
clock is still the only WWVB clock that uses the new BPSK format. I
learned that 3 different companies made prototypes but only La Crosse
went to market. So at this point the 1235UA is the only commercial clock
using the new eWWVB format. Everyone who has one reports superb
reception quality, far better than traditional WWVB clocks.
Another question was where to get the bare Everset ES100 chip or dev
boards. The original Universal Solder PCB with ES100 has been out of
stock a long time. It's the one seen at
http://www.leapsecond.com/pages/es100/pins.htm
The good news is that Universal Solder just announced a newly designed
board:

Hi Tom -
I wonder if WWVH is also sending in the new format for you guys on the west
coast, although you guys are closer to WWVB than I am, and the La Crosse
just works great. Regards - Mike

Mike,
The BPSK format enhancement applies only to 60 kHz WWVB, not the
short-wave WWV in CO or WWVH in HI.

Thanks to Tom's heads-up, I ordered a new style ES100 set with breakout
board from Universal Solder 13 days ago, and it arrived today.
The pinout documentation zip package from Universal-Solder website, (which
was mighty confusing to begin with), still seems to describe the original
board. But the new pinout is right there on the silkscreening on the
breakout board which very nicely plugs into 0.1" perfboard or solderless
breadboard.
Gave it a quick spin this afternoon, it locked up with WWVB from the East
Coast USA in broad daylight, and I can report that the same Arduino code
works fine with old board or new.
Highly recommended! BUT Universal Solder says they are currently sold out,
with "3500 modules in production and expected to be in stock on 10/23/2020."

Good morning all,
Universal Solder is showing the ES-100 WWVB BPSK clock kits back in
stock. Just put me one on order. :)
Thanks much and 73,

Hi
Just to be complete: They also have the “modules” as well. You can buy
the full up Arduino device with display or (for less money) just the little
board with the chip and a few vital parts on it.
They claim to be testing 3,000 of them …..

Just to be clear, is the ES-100 the receiver used in the Ultratomic clocks
made by Lacrosse?
