I need a 77.5 khz for a DCF77 atomic clock transmitter, but I don't find any info

this frequency you can do with timer! Max can i get is 230KHz.

use OS_TIMER_US or TIMER1 to do an ISR and make this! if you can't do this, tell us!

In my opinion there's no sense in creating some sort of DDS, since the DCF-signal must be highly accurate (crystal accurate or better if possible).
You're better off with a 77.5 kHz oscillator, (ASK) modulating at 1 bit/sec with a bitstream encoded with the correct time code data.

Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups. At least: that's what I'm assuming.

- Wed Jun 21, 2017 6:46 am #67432 Thank a lot for your answer. I make this piece of code , it seems to work in a ESP8266 (Lolin nodemcu v3)
It give a 77.5 khz signal ( a lot of noise at least in my radio receiver XDD , I have not any oscilloscope )
but my clock does not syncronize, it does not work

Antenna is pin D8
-----------------------------------------------------------
#define Antenna D8
unsigned long frec = 80000000L / 77500 ;
volatile unsigned long next;

boolean TickTock = false;

void inline radioISR(void){

TickTock = !TickTock;
digitalWrite(Antenna,TickTock);
timer0_write(ESP.getCycleCount()+frec);

}

void setup()
{

noInterrupts();
timer0_isr_init();
timer0_attachInterrupt(radioISR);
timer0_write(ESP.getCycleCount()+frec);
interrupts();

}
