I just wrote a program for a little Arduino board (a tiny computer on a
chip). This little project has its own screen and allows you to enter a
sextant shot via rotary encoders to generate a Lat/Long fix. The computer
sets the clock on shore via a Wi-Fi connection to an NTP server. That time
gets stored in an RTC (clock chip) that has its own battery. This is the
only Arduino project like this that I am aware of. There are cards for the
HP48 calculator that do this, but I wanted a small, stand-alone unit.

I have breadboarded this, and it works, but there is also a simulation of
it here:

Maybe someone would be interested in this, so I thought I would share it
here. Future versions will have a clock offset table to autocorrect RTC
drift. It would also be neat to have an Arduino that can sync to WWV.
