      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.
