[time-nuts] TBolt et al

Hi all,

I'm building a frequency master unit based on the Tbolt with associated 
buffers and dividers to give multiple frequencies and outputs  plus 
utilising the PPS to provide the ref for an embedded linux box to 
provide NTP. This will provide the 10Mhz and others as the master lock 
for my lab.

So..... with all this talk of temperature compensating a Tbolt has 
anybody thought of programming up a PIC or AVR with associated circuitry 
to keep the beastie happy ?

While Lady Heather is a grand master, I dont want to have a Windows PC 
permanently connected just for temperature stabilisation.

A small chunk of linux based code might do, but a PIC or AVR would be 
better.

LH in an AVR+LCD would be nice :)

Or should I just put the Tbolt in a double enclosure, adjust time 
constants to suite and leave it at that ?

regards

Tim
