- LCD is controlled over I2C. The downside of that is that it seems no longer to be possible to display GPS time continuously
- Rotary control for adjusting backlight of LCD
- Display of GPS baud rate as it waits for the GPS signal
- Error is shown in E-7 (rather than E-8) as then it corresponds directly to Hz at 10 MHz
- 3D printed front with cut-out for the 16x2 LCD
- Updated for the new NT7S Si5351 library (in the meantime an update also came on the F2DC website)
- Initial correction value for my Si5351 needed to be much larger than F2DC's values. A value for calfact = 28000 was needed (others have also needed such large values as described on the F2DC website)

GPS corrected 10 MHz reference
My GPS corrected 10 MHz reference now plays beautifully, as I finally was able to continue the project after a long break. All the parts were here already in February, but projects don't always develop as planned. I ended up with a modification of the F2DC Versatile Low Cost GPS Corrected Frequency Standard. It consists of an Arduino Nano, a Si5351 I2C configurable clock generator, and a GPS where the 1 PPS pulse is used to correct the frequency every 40 seconds.My modifications were these:
