When did people designing counter/timers start paying attention to metastability? I learned about it in the late 70s or early 80s. In the mid 80s, I went to a trade show that had a panel on it, and one of the panelists actually claimed it wasn't a problem. -- These are my opinions. I

Hi Didier: I'm still very much interested.  The main reason is the GPS satellites come close to following the same ground track. So I'd expect the elevation and azimuth to a given SVN to be the same on a 12 sidereal hour basis. -- Have Fun, Brooke Clarke https://www.PRC68.com

Hi From a *very* quick read of the doc’s: 1) The device *does* have a position hold capability 2) There is some level of data on the time pulse. It it only 1 ns resolution? 3) It does appear to support Galileo and Glonas in addition to GPS. 4) It is clearly multi-band for GPS. It is

[time-nuts] Ublox F9P multi-band GPS receiver

2019-01-20 Thread Mark Sims
Sparkfun is now selling the Ublox F9P L1/L2 GPS receiver module on a board ($219). The F9P supports GPS/Galileo/Glonass/Beidou and tracks L1/L2 data. It outputs carrier phase data and has survey-in and fixed position support along with RTK support (10 mm accuracy). Looks like the F9P has 1

The official RPi touchscreen mounted in a Smartipi case (with the extended back cover) works very well. That's how I have my alarm clock configured. The GPS and a backup battery are mounted in the back cover. I once hacked up a version of Heather that does the singing clock during the day
