[lug] NTP and sparkfun GPS module?

[George Sexton]

I've been looking at doing it as a project using this eval board:

This is a pretty straight forward method using a Garmin Receiver:

I've been using it for about a year without any problems. Pricing is pretty
much the same. OTOH, GPS Time receivers start at around $1,000 and go up
rapidly from there.

 

It would be really cool if Sparkfun made a kit that had all of the parts
including a case for a unit. Using the Eval board above, it would be nice to
have a case, DB-9 connector, and power supply. Alternatively, it would be
cool if they made a kit for the Garmin 16x using the schematic from here:

The 16x has an RJ-45 connector so that would simplify life for people using
it.

Has anyone looked at creating a homebrew NTP server from a sparkfun GPS
module? It would be easier to just buy one but it might be an interesting
project for somebody.
