Thanks for this post, Jerry. Could you please forward my post to Andrew? As you can see below, I have some issues about the widget I want to discuss with him, and I don't have his email address. I visit NIST Boulder every couple of months for business, but I'm never meeting with people in his

Sounds like there was a change made to the time.gov code recently that could have caused the error we noticed. I replied to Andrew that I didn’t remember the time.gov site loading any slower or faster than usual. Jerry, Thanks for writing. I have had a few reports of incorrect time, but

I bought one also. Figured it was worth $150 in educational value alone given I've never done anything with Rb before. Hope it ends up being a good lesson and not a bad one. hi hi 73/jeff/ac0c www.ac0c.com alpha-charlie-zero-charlie -Original Message- From: paul swed Sent:

A while ago, I took my GPS clock board (https://hackaday.io/project/18501-gps-clock) and sort of rearranged it to instead be a Raspberry Pi Zero clock display. I turned it into a product on Tindie for folks who can more easily get NTP over WiFi or Ethernet than GPS. Recently, someone asked me
