Revision history [back]

I have had to combine 5 different computers where 1 machine is the ROS_MASTER and the other are not. I can get sub microsecond accuracy but this requires a continual time update from the master server.

I use and NTP server on the machine running ROS_MASTER. The remaining machine i run a simple cron job updating the time.
