## Overview

The CANADUINO® 60kHz WWVB MSF JJY60 Atomic Clock Receiver is a high-sensitivity AM radio module designed to decode ultra-low frequency atomic clock signals from North America, the UK, and Japan. With a reception radius up to 2000 km and compatibility with popular microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi, it offers precise time synchronization for professional and hobbyist projects. Powered efficiently between 2-5.5V and manufactured in Canada under USMCA compliance, it ensures tariff-free delivery to US customers. Requires soldering for antenna, crystal, and header pins.

## Description

CANADUINO® 60kHz WWVB MSF JJY60 Atomic Clock Receiver - Made in Canada (USMCA Complaint = no tariffs for US customers): desertcart.com: Industrial & Scientific

Review: Exact time, all the time, < $10 - Packaging was pretty robust - the board and bar antenna were packed securely in a capped, sturdy plastic tube. It just took a tap on the opened end for it to slide out. The device came with printed documentation and usable references to part data if needed. After soldering down a 5-pin breakaway header on the board, I put it down on a breadboard and wired it to an Arduino, and wrote a short test sketch to time the edges on the T pin, and saw the right kind of timings (800ms/200ms etc). This was done on a bench in the man cave/Faraday cage, so that's pretty impressive performance. As a secondary check, I turned on an LF receiver in the shack and verified the pulses lined up with what I heard on WWVB. Looking forward to writing a time decoder for this very slow and very accurate PWM'd bit stream. Remember to pull down the P1 pin to turn on the receiver. It doesn't draw a lot of current (about 50 uA) when it's running, and draws near nothing (0.1uA) when you power it down (by pulling P1 up). The included documentation describes cycling this pin to retrigger the AGC logic to hasten signal acquisition time. You might therefore want to dedicate an Arduino output pin to controlling P1 rather than just grounding it. For my first test, I just grounded P1 and signal was acquired within seconds of power up. Standard shipping is via the Canadian and US Postal system; it took about a week and a half to get here. Seller was really quick to reply on a shipping question. He didn't solicit a review from me, I'm just impressed with this inexpensive, sensitive receiver giving me WWVB on a pin.
Review: Works Perfectly, Soldering required - This is a receiver for the WWVB US time signal at 60 kHz. A tiny crystal is provided for the desired signal, depending on your country. This crystal must be very carefully soldered to the circuit board, quickly to avoid damage. The antenna and header pins also require soldering. As noted elsewhere, the PDN pin MUST be grounded to enable the receiver. After soldering, the device was powered up and instantly began recovering the time signal. The ferrite rod antenna is much larger and more sensitive than the similar tiny antennas found in most "Atomic Clocks" - my testing took place at 1500 hrs. in the northeast USA (full daylight)! I highly recommend this device for timeheads.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where can I find example code for Arduino? I had hoped there would be something on the manufacturer's website but couldn't find anything.**
A: I do not code. If you do find example please share. I never could get this to pickup the signal. I have a very good lab at home but it was not reliable in even showing me the signal on the O scope. Both the units I bought did the same thing.

**Q: Is there something like this which also then transmits the signal, serving as an amplifier?**
A: There is a project which uses GPS signals to transmit on this frequency.  It is not an amplifier.  Call it a workaround.  Here is the project:  https://hackaday.com/2016/12/28/micro-radio-time-station-keeps-watch-in-sync/

**Q: Is it possible to connect two antenna to boost the signal?**
A: Not recommended and not effective. Place the receiver outside of a building, on top of a roof, in a treetop etc. The cable connection can be up to several 100m with shielded network cable or about 50m with a simple "thermostat" wire. If you have a very weak signal, and you live in North America, have a look at our ES100 receiver. 100x better reception than the AM version.

**Q: Is this for 77.5khz not 60khz? universal-solder sells these for both 60khz (us) and 77.5khz (uk). antenna for 77.5khz is blue, 60khz is black.**
A: I have ordered this (in US) and came as 60 kHz with the black tape so the picture must be incorrect

### ⭐ Defective pads for crystal
*by F***N on December 19, 2020*

Solder pads for crystal are under-engineered. It comes with crystal detached and you have to solder it on. Gave each pad a little heat, attached crystal, all seemed fine. Started up the receiver, red light wouldn't shut off even after half an hour. Checked the crystal again, the crystal was falling off with both pads still attached to it. Spent a half hour trying to get solder to take on the empty area were the pads were with no luck. Didn't even see any conductive material to solder. I've been building kits for decades and rarely came across crap like this except for dubiously-cheap Chinese stuff. Waste of time and money.
