One advantage of having an OS and NTP client on board is that you get automatic TZ and DST offsets if you want. A Pi also works fine with a USB WiFi dongle so no ugly CAT5 wiring required. One of the Pi s I2C buses could be used to drive a 7 seg display controller such as those from Adafruit. As you would have the full TCP stack you could configure it over the same wiFi . It's not Windows but doesn't need much power so long as you don't want to drive giant LEDs. >> > > Good joke :-) I imagine the electricity bill at the end of the month. > > I would like to have a clock sync with my super precise stratum 1 servers > :-) what's the point in having them if I can see the time anywhere? :-) > > Cheers, > Miguel > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com > To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts > and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
