getTime() Accuracy

Hi @Gordon,

Yes, this is quite far off.
I only have one Pico, an original and a NucleoF401RE which, I guess could be the other candidate although it is bulky and lacks the mosfet...

Unfortunately, I expect to use:

• deep sleep most of the time (one wake up every 4 hours).
  
• setTimeout for shorted durations (3-6 minutes).
  
  

Actually, I was testing the setTimeout when I found this problem.

So Here are the results of the test you proposed: 0.925 seems to be t a constant value.

process.memory();
={ free: 5076, usage: 24, total: 5100, history: 7,
  gc: 0, gctime: 5.15270233154, "stackEndAddress": 536958912, flash_start: 134217728, "flash_binary_end": 385848,
  "flash_code_start": 134234112, flash_length: 393216 }
