Re: NTP accuracy on ESP8266

I understand the difference between absolute and relative time. I'm trying to get absolute time. The goal is a project similar to this (https://www.instructables.com/WWVB-radio-time-signal-generator-for-ATTINY45-or-A/) where the 8266 board uses NTP to get "truth" and controls the 60kHz wave. Exactly...

Re: NTP accuracy on ESP8266

There's not an exact way to know the one-way delay for NTP, but typically the round trip time is halved to give a pretty good estimate, and should give much better than 1s accuracy. I could get a constant offset but it seems like it would still be unknown because settime() is artificially setting th...

NTP accuracy on ESP8266

Hi, I'm working on a timing related application for the ESP01. I understand that the internal clock is hot garbage, and that's ok, I can make frequent calls to my internal NTP server. But it looks like ntp.settime() only has whole second resolution. From ntptime.py: machine.RTC().datetime((tm[0], tm...
