Alas. In concept, that is extremely interesting. But a bit too
bare-metal for me; first I'd have to recruit help to design and build
it into something one of my computers can talk to.
OTOH, I have written successful I2C code; if something like this
hardware were a Raspberry Pi HAT I'd have bought one before I finished
typing this reply and probably have a test system up in 24 hours. So
it's close. Real close. Relevant link:
------
You should be able to plug it into a Pi without a hat. It takes 3 wires:
ground, power, and signal.
Connect the signal to a PPS pin.
I've seen code to decode WWVB but don't remember where. My first guess would
be one of the drivers we dropped.
