Some folks like to tinker with (and I have myself done so) a PPS
source from one refclock, and a serial stream from a second refclock
under development, as this lets you get a handle on latency etc. This
is how I measured the audio driver latency and jitter using different
tweaks. I think this is a fine cross check.

I didn't actually build "the gadget box" but I just strung together a
LS123, a blinky LED, and a MAX232 in a nearly identical configuration.

Other folks use far cruder TTL to EIA converters (e.g. a diode and a
resistor or similar, taking advantage of the bias commonly found on PC-
clone serial ports.)

Tim.

jimmyterrence,

There is a link on www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/resources. The PPS should 
work for CHU audio just like any other driver; however, that would be 
useful only if you have a local calibrated PPS source of sufficiently 
high quality and want to use CHU only to number the seconds.

I'm using the CHU audio driver w/ a Soekris NET4801 & TenTec RC-320D
receiver (w/ Tim Shoppa's modified icom.[hc] files).

[ntp:questions] CHU gadget box files

2009-12-06 Thread jimmyterrence
Does anyone have a live link to the CHU gadget box files that used to
be at ftp://ftp.udel.edu/pub/ntp/gadget.tar.Z ?
I can't seem to find them anywhere else.

On a related note, is there anyone using the gadget box, or are you
just using CHU audio drivers? I was wondering if it would be possible
to build just the PPS part of the circuitry and use a generic PPS
driver with the CHU AUDIO driver.

Thanks,

Court
