You can buy directly from Maxim at www.maxim-ic.com and I believe they will ship worldwide. Shalvan,

I have been thinking of making one myself, and I like how you used an external RTC in the circuit. I was wondering if you could throw a schematic up in pdf format, as I am using a different design program, and can't import eagle files. I love the design.

Something I have wanted to do all my life (62yrs). I am a electronic engineer of the old school and fascinated with the amount of labor of love you put into this. If you start a company, you will be a millionaire soon. Good luck and will look for you on Facebook. Your project amazed me. Something I have wanted to do all my life (62yrs).
