David,

Don't tap the time LEDs.
For InCase series NEO-M8T TIME & RAW receiver board (https://www.csgshop.com/product.php?id_product=218), access to PPS is through the 12 pin JST SH socket, its harness or the breakout board it feeds. You can see the breakout board's labelled items at https://www.csgshop.com/product.php?id_product=217 In addition to accessing the coms for SPI, UART, USB & I2C, these include: TIMEPULSE (TIME1), TIMEPULSE2 (TIME2), EXTINT0 & EXTINT1.

You can use your own JST connector, or get their harness and cut one end off if you want access to those leads directly. I provide power through the breakout board's USB, and I soldered 4 pin headers onto the breakout board so I can build custom cables for for quick re-config for testing.

Chris,

Did you get a NEO-M8T-0-01 or a NEO-M8T-0-10?
Back in Dec 2016, the same place slipped me a -01 with the original non-GAL firmware, when prior to that they were shipping -01 updated with GAL enabled firmware or -10 (which has GAL firmware) to most customers. They (he) wouldn't reply to queries.

And somewhere in the M8T docs is the recommendation to use 1 Hz Timepulse, as precision suffers if you're using time pulse at other than 1 Hz PPS.

Regards,

Michael

OK, Chris, thanks for the information. At that price, I would hope it /is/ genuine.

A pity they don't add a PPS output, although I guess you could tap the time LED. Strange, too, that they use the much more expensive timing grade device, and yet no PPS time access!

Cheers,
David
