HOW TO – Crystal controlled 1 pulse per second clock

The latest Citizen Science has a how-to on making a pulse circuit from a clock, the completed circuit provides pulses with a duration of about 30 milliseconds… Allan writes – ” This easy to make circuit will provide pulses at a highly accurate rate of one per second (1 Hz). The circuit is based on a common quartz clock movement that seems to be in most of today’s wall clocks. A suitable movement can be salvaged from a clock or purchased new from a hobby shop. “ – Link.
