@th The main feature of that device is a clock generator/distributor, the Pi is just used to configure it over SPI
@th I find it strangely compelling with the 10 ppb OCXO and -165 dBc/Hz phase noise
@th It’s all in the R&D.
@th
Wow.... Just wow. It really is. I wonder if they soldered or modified the hardware of the pi in any way? Besides adding gpio extender headers and is that a circular display on there? Those are like $80 for buying like one or two nice ones.
I guess it's that sweet sweet Analog Devices R & D that makes up the extra $2800 or so
@th Maybe they know that some folks would do just about anything to not have to set up a pi in exactly the right way for this to actually work?
