Does anyone have the AT protocol spec for it?
I've always been interested
in the concept of a timekeeper that I could read/set from machines that
were not ethernet/NTP-capable. I've even sat around dreaming up ways to
build a wall clock that was settable and readable either via IR or some
serial connection so I'd have a chance of keeping things sync'ed around here.
If I ever did get an RS-232-based timekeeper, I'd think about throwing it
on a terminal server so everybody else on there could get to it.
I've never seen one, but I'd rather not re-invent the wheel. Just knowing
the command set is a starting point for even a PIC-based modern replica.
A quck Google search threw up 195 hits includng this site :
http://incolor.inebraska.com/bill_r/hayes_stack_chronograph.htm
which claims to include a scanned copy of the owners manual. I presume
the command set would be included there ....
Simply amazing what you can find on the web ;-)
