It was already a few years ago when I bought a Sure Electronics GPS timing receiver. Though, there was never enough time to complete and deploy it. I have done it now.
The Sure receiver is nice because it has 3,3V IO pins, and this matches perfectly with a Raspberry Pi. So it's a good point using it.
Obviously many people have problems with the NTPD that comes with the recent raspian distributions: ntp 4.2.6p5. It does not support PPS...
It is rather easy to make the kernel PPS aware, but ntp still is not capable of using it. I needed to recompile the ntp package so that I was able to use it. The symptom therefore is:
- The tool ppstest does report the reception of a pulse, but even if you configure NTP correctly, it won't give you an output with PPS using the command ntpq -p.
