DCF77 Empfang mit Arduino

Da mein DCF-77 Empfänger ab und zu Aussetzer zeigte, funktionierte der Code von http://gonium.net/md/2007/01/06/arduino-dcf77-v02-released/ leider nicht auf Anhieb.

Offenbar war die Flankensteilheit des Ausgangs nicht ausreichend, so dass gerade bei den fallenden Flanken mehrere Interrupts ausgelöst wurden. Daher gibt es jetzt eine Prüfung, ob der Interrupt mindestens 10 ms nach dem letzten eingetreten ist.
