I do not recommend that HAT. There are much better ones available at<br>
similar prices. <br>

RT_PREEMPT is overkill. The best you can get on a RasPi is about 54ns<br>
accuracy. Due to the clock granularity of 54ns.<br>

But always have other chimers in your configuration file.<br>

For some definition of "super".<br>

They pop up now and then. Right now GPS parts are hard to find, much<br>
less at good prices. Search for Navisys GR-601W, GR-701W, or GR-801W.<br>
The "W" suffix says it outputs PPS.<br>
<br>
The MAC1-X, or any PPS over USB, will only get you to > 1 milli second<br>
because of the USB.<br>
