From: Adam Kumiszcza It will be connected via a short cable (1,5 m or less) to one computer. The second will join much later, I will worry about splitting the signal then. Other computers would be in different rooms, so I would need another time source. My question was rather if stacking another

From: Adam Kumiszcza Hi again! My raspi is now in a new location. The GPS signal is fine, the window is not south-facing, but the antenna is outside the window attached to a metal windowsill, and there are no buildings nearby. I'm coming back to the idea of distributing PPS signal. Do you think

From: Adam Kumiszcza [] If I take into account single high elevation satellite with good SNR (satellite 26 in the examples), the new placement and ground plane even lowered it :( I guess the real benefit of the ground plane would be if the antenna was outside, or my measurement method was wrong?

You already have a PPS signal from your existing GPS, so I was thinking simply of distributing that the the Windows PCs, and feeding it to the serial port's DCD signal. I will try that. I guess you can connect serial port directly to my Uputronics expansion card (
