Hi Ethan,

I'd assume you're thinking along the lines of a simple digital PLL
using the capture/compare functions of the timers? That could be
done with a VERY small AVR/other micro indeed.
If you wanted to make it more "retro", you might be able to do it
fairly simply with a 6502 and 6522. :-) Still more modern than
the RK05's internals, though, and I have no idea how much space
is available in the box there.

I'm an instructor at our local makerspace
(the Columbus Idea Foundry) - I teach
electronics (incl. Arduino and Raspberry Pi workshops and run the monthly
3D printing meetups). I would *love* to have some instructions to follow to
make either hubs or electronic 12-sector-to-16-sector pulse regenerators, but
*designing* such things is a bit beyond what I can do on my own.
If I get it to
work, I'll build some and sell them. The hardware design is quite primitive: An AVR,
crystal and some passive stuff. The trick will be the firmware.
I'm quite sure you would be able to design the pulse regenerator!
