I can prove I had the best time at Open Sauce
The author is preparing for the Open Sauce event by building a precise timekeeping setup using GPS, atomic clocks, and custom devices to ensure they have the most accurate time compared to others.
MAIN POINTS FROM TRANSCRIPT
- The author aims to have the best timekeeping setup at Open Sauce using GPS and atomic clocks.
- A PPS watch and a custom-built Atomic Time Server PC are key components of their setup.
- GPS and GNSS systems provide access to precise atomic clocks, essential for accurate timekeeping.
- Challenges include achieving microsecond accuracy on a time badge and integrating PPS features.
TAKEAWAYS
- GPS modules offer free access to precise atomic clocks, crucial for accurate positioning and timekeeping.
- The Atomic Time Server PC uses a rubidium atomic clock card for enhanced timing precision.
- The PPS watch, created with Sean Hodgins, allows for precise time comparison with others.
- The author shares their projects on GitHub, encouraging others to experiment with timekeeping technologies.
