Documentation Suggestions

[glenne]

Great tutorial! I just got mine up and running. Here's a few suggestions:

• Typo - Several references (4) to systemctl ... chronyd. This should be just 'chrony', not 'chronyd'
• Typo - 'install gpsd via your packet manager.' should be 'install gpsd via your package manager.'
• Suggest including an example on how to install the first time an install is needed - 'sudo apt-get install gpsd'
• When adding allow 192.168/16 to chronyd.conf, one can omit the IP address and it will allow connections from any connected interface.
• A simple test from another computer can test connectivity. On a mac, sntp <ip address>, or verbose sntp -d <ip address> and it will show PPS0 being used.
• Documentation says 'If reception is ok, a led ("FIX" or "PPS") should start blinking on your GPS module.' On my Adafruit module, it blinks 1x/second if not fix and once every 10 seconds when there is a fix.

Yes Great tutorial! I just got mine up and running.
Also using Adafruit module and Rpi3 64bib Rasberian OS All good
with one exception Not sure what I am doing wrong But for SATS I just get [ -- ] when I have + 20 connected

any thoughts

@glenne: thanks for the list, will work on that during the next days
@Bob-VK6ZGN : probably something going wrong with the gpsd-py3 dependency. Maybe open a separate issue for this, and we can try to track this down?

It would also be a bonus to explain what the time offset fields mean on the LCD. e.g. NTP: and SATS

@glenne : I've added most of the suggestions:
some remarks:

• on some distris it is actually service 'chronyd', so I added both.
• allow without address (and especially cmdallow without) can lead to unexpected results

Thanks for the input!

I leave this open for further discussion. Feel free to close, if completed for now.

Looks great! Thanks for the update.
