Discussion: Interesting fixed latency on Pi Zero W #9

Description

@BlipRanger

Hi, I know you recommend a Pi 4/5 but I tried this out on a Pi Zero W and did manage to get stratum 1 with it, which is cool. However, I noticed something interesting which is that when checking the sources, PPS will always have exactly +/-1000ns of latency. Is this a hardware limitation you think? Just a curiosity and not a real issue. Feel free to close whenever.
