Time Stamp #243

Open NilS51 opened 3 years ago

It is imperative to have a timestamp for each message. Exact world time is not required, exact time between messages is required. It is enough to start the log at 0 milliseconds. Can you add this functionality to the upcoming release as soon as possible?

How about adding support for a DS3234 module attached to the SPI pins at the front to get real-time timestamping.

What is a "message"? Is it a LF/CR-LF terminated run of bytes? Is a a chunk of bytes until a pause of N milliseconds? -- I guess the former is the typical situation, but it is totally dependent on what you're logging. There needs to be some new settings to control the insertion of timestamps.
