There seems to be a nascent market for small GPS receivers in the "DIY drone" hobbyist sector. I stuffed one of the modules from http://store.diydrones.com/category_s/10.htm (more info at http://store.diydrones.com/3DR_GPS_LEA_6_p/br-3drlea-6.htm ) into a small plastic project box and added a USB cable to the appropriate pins on the LEA-6H module.
In this case I wanted NMEA data rather than 1-pps, but 1-pps is available as well. At the time I was looking, I didn't see a simple, ready-to-go receiver module that had an antenna at one end and a USB virtual COM port on the other. Fortunately the LEA-6H's USB output worked great when I added the cable. -- john Miles Design LLC > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:time-nuts- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob Camp > Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2012 4:10 PM > To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement > Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Inexpensive modular gps with 1pps > > Hi > > Not much of a market for that sort of stuff. > > Bob > > On Nov 15, 2012, at 5:59 PM, Hal Murray <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > > [email protected] said: > >> Me too, please.
