timer - Synchronize Clocks


I need to develop a system where there are 4 sensor boxes powered by USB and they have their internal clock. Each of these boxes are connected to a Linux pc and all these PCs are linked with WiFi. API of the sensor box allows me to read their internal precision clock (uSec accuracy).


I like to synchronize all four clocks of the sensor boxes as close as possible. Hopefully within a few micro seconds of each other and compensate for drift over time. The idea is to use the sensor data that is collected at the same time (The data I receive is time stamped with the boxes' internal clock). The latency on usb bus, WiFi, pc timing are all indeterministic.


Is this possible given my setup?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
