## Setup
### Requirements
1. Raspberry Pi with
	1. Raspberry Pi OS Installed
	2. SSH Access
	3. sudo permissions
2. A timing specific GPS module, wired to the Raspberry Pi GPIOs:
	1. GPS GND to RPi pin 6
	2. GPS VIN to RPi pin 2 or 4
	3. GPS PPS to RPi pin 12 (GPIO 18)
	4. GPS RX to RPi pin 8
	5. GPS TX to RPi pin 10

### Install
Clone the repo  
`git clone https://github.com/PrincessPi3/Precision-Timekeeping-Fuckery.git ~/Precision-Timekeping-Fuckery`  
  
Run raspi-config
1. Interface Options->Serial Port
	1. Would you like a login shell to be accessible over serial? **<No>**
	2. Would you like the serial port hardware to be enabled? **<Yes>**
2. Advanced Options
		1. A1 Expand Filesystem

update os and packages (will reboot when finished)  
`bash ~/Precision-Timekeeping-Fuckery/update.sh`  
  
install packages (will reboot when finished)  
`bash ~/Precision-Timekeeping-Fuckery/packages.sh`  
  
finish install (will reboot when finished)  
`bash ~/Precision-Timekeeping-Fuckery/installer.sh`  
  
check status of everything  
`bash ~/Precision-Timekeeping-Fuckery/full_status.sh`  
  
navigate to `http://<ip's ip>:3000`  
Upload ~/Garfana-Visualization.json to create dashboard

### Clients
**Windows**
1. Open the Control Panel and navigate to the Date and Time settings.
2. Click on "Internet Time" and then "Change settings".
3. Enable the option to "Synchronize with an Internet time server".
4. Choose a time server from the available list or enter a custom one.
5. Click "OK" to save the changes.

notes:
gps cable delay :  RG-85 : 0.051 ns/cm
10ft in cm: 304.8
gps cable delay: 304.8*0.051 = 15.5448ns, round up to 16ns
