[time-nuts] looking for low-power system for gps ntptimekeeping NANOSG20

[David J Taylor]

From: Chris Albertson

The computer itself and the NTP installation are OK because we can see it
syncing to other NTP servers.  Likely you have a problem in the way the GPS
using is connected.
Some common errors is an inverted PPS, just flip it ad see if you gets
better, it is really hard to see a 1Hz signal on a scope.
=================================

Any 'scope should be able to see a pule which is high for 100 ms and low for 
900 ms!  Modern digital scopes even make it easy to see a 100 ns pulse 
repeated at 1 second intervals.

Best investment I made recently was a Rigol DS1052E 'scope - so useful for 
time-nuts type work.  It was /just/ affordable, and it may be even a lower 
cost now as a newer model is out.

Cheers,
David
