Updated PCB for manufacture by Ragworm.

Updated the BOM and added an Eagle-style gerber output to the makefile as
Ragworm want these rather than the hackvana files seeed will take.
PCB manufacture was successful and the board works fine.

8 years agoCreated SMD version of the schematic and layout.

Created SMD version of the schematic and layout.

9 years agoAdded alternative tick sequence generation code.

Added alternative tick sequence generation code.

This version divides up 32 seconds into 128 quarter second slots and
randomly places the ticks among these slots.

9 years agoUse 16 bit galois field based PRNG.

Use 16 bit galois field based PRNG.

This has much better distribution in the low bits over its period.

9 years agoCorrected diode layout by using symbol with correct pin assignment.

Corrected diode layout by using symbol with correct pin assignment.

Pin assignment need to match footprints.

9 years agoWorking version.

Working version.

Implemented both randomised ticking with skipped ticks. Can skip 1 or 2
ticks and catches them up on the next tick. Tick offset is up to half a
second.
Works out quite nicely irregular with the skipped ticks catching the
attention quite well.

10 years agoImplemented irregular ticks.

Implemented irregular ticks.

With two /8 dividers we get 512 interrupts per second. By counting 16
of these we get a 30ms interval to energise the coil for a tick.
We add a random number up to 15 additional 30ms intervals to offset the
actual time of the tick.
