OK.. so my "wire or" question can be answered.. I've got a bunch of
microcontrollers (teensy3 from pjrc) with High Z inputs that I want to
sync, and since the Garmin 1pps can both source and sink, a diode and
resistor might work well. When I don't have 1pps, I can have one of the
modules reconfigured to be a source, with a series resistor.
Thanks all..
