Are there genuine atomic clocks on the market for private computing?


Seems that you can at least buy a Quantum SA.45s Chip Scale Atomic Clock for a mere $928:

What a time to be alive.


You can get refurbished rubidium oscillators from ebay for around 200$. Hooking these up to a Raspberry Pi should be fairly easy (see the pps_gpio kernel driver for that).


You should probably set up a true RT system if you're going to use an atomic clock.
