How to measure time in miliseconds?

[dabal221]

Hello,
I want to measure time in miliseconds on WiPy platform in order to get precise result when the GPS sentences from GPS module come to board. Actually, I do not know how to do it.

import time
print("START: %d seconds."%time.time())
time.sleep(1)
print("#1: %d seconds."%time.time())
time.sleep(3)
print("#2: %d seconds."%time.time())
time.sleep_ms(1500)
print("#3: %d seconds."%time.time())

This code can only count time in seconds. How to count time in miliseconds?

@dabal221 look for time.ticks_ms() and time.ticks_diff() in the documentation. https://docs.pycom.io/firmwareapi/micropython/utime/

You could use the rtc.now(), that one contains microsecounds.
