How about the Veracity TimeNet Pro? More money than a Pi/BBB with GPS receiver, but probably way simpler.

I've seen Arduino and Pi add-on cards that contain a GPS receiver and you basically feed the 1PPS via GPIO or something like that. I don't really want to go there. I'll keep looking around and see what I can find for standard-ish PC hardware. On 9/5/2017 9:56 PM, Mike Hammett wrote: USB cell modem?

I switched to time-(a,b,c,d).nist.gov. Apparently those are pretty busy. So is anyone else using GPS to feed NTPd? From what I've been reading, I guess I need a 1PPS capable receiver. Does that exist in a simple USB package? That would be ideal, preferably with an SMA female for an external antenna where needed. Looks like none of the cheap shit I'm finding on Amazon has PPS output.
