Hello all,

I need to record and store data with a timestamp with no internet connection. I currently have a couple of these discontinued Sparkfun GPS modules, which are 3.3V. Would it be possible to use a GPS module like this as the pitayas clock?

The project I'm doing requires the automatic execution of data aquisition as soon as powered on. If power is lost, and regained, the process starts over. However, I need a clock to keep time, even when power is lost.

Thank you for your time

Yes, it's possible. I have a GPS receiver with a PPS output and I am using the gpsd and chrony services for time synchronization. Here are links to my configuration files:

Pavel,

I just found this forum post where a user was able to use an ISL 12022 RTC via the pitaya's i2c.

Would this be an easier option than using a GPS module? I guess it's worth mentioning I am a novice when it comes to raspberry pi hardware/coding.
