12:05 p.m.
was thinking about recycling one for a clock project
(PIC or 8051 or
mc68k
based, depending on which way I jump). Are there any
components other
than
the battery in the potted lid? i.e., can I just remove
it entirely or
do I have to perform delicate surgery to seperate the front leads and
solder
wires onto the front of the I.C. where the lid used to
connect?
Yes there are but finding the battery is easy with a small magnet as it's
steel cased.
then grind off the plastic in that area till you hit it. pry it out and
add wires to another
and your all set.
I can do them in my sleep.
