I wanted a local time server with its own independent source of time from satellites in space with use of GPS and open source software. Ended up been a cool weekend project!
Hey @jeffgeerling.com, find it a bit cool that you did this as well and released a video of it so close to my write-up for my weekend project. I learned a lot from my research and I was looking at finding a good HAT instead of the USB GPS i am using. Would the HAT you use be a good fit for me ?

Been playing around with Godot this week. Quite amazed with how fun it is to brush of old game theory I studied over 10 years ago come to good use. Game a really nice and fun game loop in place for my Pokemon Rouge-like clone. Game evolves around arguing with managers one at the time to get a raise.
