[ntp:questions] PPS versus serial offset

2013-08-28 Thread detha
I have a test setup with a RaspberryPi and a SiRF/gpsd module. All working quite well, but one thing bugs me. Looking at the ntpq -p output the serial port readings seem to drift away slowly but steadily from the PPS, see http://detha.co.za/ntp/ntpmon.20130828.jpg. Done the 'let it run for 24

://detha.co.za/ntp/ntpmon.20130828.jpg. It is normal. The offset between serial data and PPS changes all the time. It is often a bit better when you put the GPS in binary mode instead of NMEA. Indeed, or use a very high baud rate for the NMEA. I would be more worried about the 11 ms step in the PPS
