Another option would be a Meinberg NTP appliance. https://www.meinbergglobal.com/ I have implemented a couple (for geographically dispersed data centres) of the Meinberg LANtime M300 about 10'years back. They still run without a hitch, and have done so without ever failing. "Ours" are dual radi

Thanks! The TimeHat looks like a good option considering the price. I am trying to do a Raspberry pi + gps project myself, but will possibly end up getting one of those in the future. On Sun, Nov 21, 2021 at 9:52 PM W7SLS wrote: > Welcome, and here are a few thoughts: > > One of the members deve

> If you have a good local NTP setup, you can measure how good other servers are, or more likely how good the network connection is. NTP assumes the network delays are symmetric. Often, that's not true. So "how good" turns into measuring network (a)symmetries. Yes this is what I'd like to do ev

Speaking of Raspberry Pi's as time servers, does anyone here know of a nice single board computer that supports both Ethernet hardware timestamping and GPIO PPS input? On Tue, Nov 23, 2021 at 12:49 PM McFail Troll wrote: > > If you have a good local NTP setup, you can measure how good other > se

RPI does allow GPIO PPS input Also the RPI4 does PTP. On Tue, Nov 23, 2021 at 12:53:02PM +0200, Avamander wrote: > Speaking of Raspberry Pi's as time servers, does anyone here know of a nice > single board computer that supports both Ethernet hardware timestamping and > GPIO PPS input? > > On Tue

Hi I would strongly suggest that with NTP “more is better”. Three reference devices is about the minimum. Five is a good target to aim for. Each approach to a device has its weak points (cost may be one of them). In a “get what you pay for” world, having a couple of “real” commercial boxes in th

Hi, I thought I understood just enough from electronics to be able to these kind of experiments but apparently not (3 damaged rpi's and gps modules). I thought that if signal levels are in range of the device that will read them and all grounds are connected, that you could safely for example con

Hello all — I am working on several broadcast radio projects that require a local PTP server at multiple locations. The purpose of PTP in this context is to timestamp audio and related control data. The timestamps ensure proper reassembly at distant locations after transfer over public/priva
