Thanks for the suggestion. I am not averse to C++, and will definitely look into these examples and try replicate something similar. Adam On Mon, Dec 6, 2021 at 3:35 PM Attila Kinali wrote: > On Sun, 5 Dec 2021 15:53:57 -0500 > Adam Space wrote: > > > For example, > > the only solutions in Pyt

Thanks for the ideas. The first idea sounds interesting. I recently got a Raspberry Pi GPS/PPS setup working, which is still having some issues but overall ok. (In particular, it seems as if there is a few ms lag from the PPS signal, which I'm not sure what to do about). I've never done anything wi

There is another problem besides the software, if I remember correctly the FFT card resides on the computer, not on the PN9000 box. Jorge. On Sun, Nov 21, 2021 at 9:49 AM AC0XU (Jim) wrote: > I recently purchased an Aeroflex PN9000 system with the correct modules > for doing phase noise measurem

I have four home-built clocks, each using a Raspberry Pi, all with slightly different designs, all running gpsd and ntpd (so all are NTP servers on my home network). Three are GPS disciplined; one is WWVB disciplined. Two of the GPS clocks use the modem-control lines on a serial port for the 1PP

We use this simple python script with RPi and a 7" RPi screen in many labs just to have a simple clock display. AFAIK the timing and update rate is good enough for human visual readout. The RPis get time over NTP. https://github.com/aewallin/digiclock In this application RPis seem to last for many
