Does anyone play with GPS based ntp server and have clients?

<< < (4/5) > >>

tkamiya:
Thank you.  I didn't even think of that.

tkamiya:
With my previous setup, both GPS and PPS would go to "X" state.  Often times immediately, sometimes an hour or so later.

So, I made several changes. 
1) replaced GPS
2) shorten the pps and data serial cable
3) play with offset a little

12 hours later, I got this:
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
===================================================

*SHM(0)          .GPS.            0 l    1   16  377    0.000   -9.225   5.857
oPPS(0)          .PPS.            0 l   15   16  377    0.000    0.000   0.001
<more sources here>

This is how it should be, correcct?

Looks fine, assuming the offset to your other sources is reasonable and ntpd hasn't marked them all invalid because they don't agree with your prefer source.

tkamiya:
Offset used for GPS (local)

server 127.127.28.0 minpoll 4 maxpoll 4 prefer
fudge 127.127.28.0 time1 0.032 flag1 1 refid GPS

fudge will require further tuning.

none of other sources are "X"'d out. 

jav:
Looks great.

Don't bother too much with the GPS offset (and the fudge factor). As long as it's around those levels, it's fine. ntpd will use PPS as a reference, that's what is for.

Key here is that the values keep in that range so ntpd don't falsetick ("x") them out.
