Everyday Practical Electronics, November 1997, August 1998.

*** SEE PROJECT UPDATE further down! New 'stand-alone' mode
files now available! ***

These files are for the EPE Time Machine, a PIC 16C84/ 16F84 design
which is regulated by the 27kW National Physical Laboratory caesium
radio time signal transmitter in the UK.

The signal can be detected across North and Western Europe, even as
far as Iceland and Finland and the design uses a ready-built radio
receiver module.

The EPE Time Machine gives a two-line l.c.d. countdown display of the 
approaching Millennium (in seconds!!), and will also operate FOUR
separate items of equipment, time-switch fashion, in an incredibly
versatile manner. Programmed by keypad.

*** PROJECT UPDATE AUGUST 1998 ISSUE ***

Simpler version of the Millenium countdown, now eliminates
the need for push switches if control facilities are not needed.
Use as a stand-alone digital display of Millenium countdown, in seconds.
Ideal for novelty or promotional items, etc.

For stand-alone mode, use the files RUG810.asm and RUG810.obj.
Please refer to the August 1998 issue (P.614) for other details.
Note the PIC16F84 *only* must be used, for stand-alone mode.
