Hello,
I have a contact closure switch connected to P8_14.  When the switch is 
activated, P8_14 is brought to ground.  I need to apply a time stamp when 
this occurs with millisecond accuracy.  

1) I have an adafruit GPS with 1 pps output.  I see the NMEA strings and 
have confirmed the 1 PPS is working.

2) I have NTP running with my local GPS and 1PPS source configured.  (Maybe 
chrony is a better choice?)

3) Just for testing, I am using the following python code:

import Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import datetime

GPIO.setup("P8_14", GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)

#GPIO.add_event_detect("P8_14", GPIO.RISING, callback=my_callback, 
bouncetime=1000)

while True:
        GPIO.wait_for_edge("P8_14", GPIO.RISING)
        ttime = datetime.datetime.now()
        print(ttime)


When I compare my time with a very expensive DAQ, my time stamp is always 
off by 2-4ms and it is not a consistent offset.  Does anyone have any other 
thoughts at to how I might approach this?  I am needing to get the 
timestamp accurate to 1ms.
