GPS Failing on Raspberry Pi 4

I had Navio GPS working fine on a Raspi 3.
I removed the GPS antenna for a few weeks to test manual flight
I have now replaced the Pi3 with a Pi 4 and have plugged the antenna back in but I’m getting nothing

When I run
./ublox_capture.py --port spi:0.0 --baudrate 5000000 --show
on the pi I get the output below – the ublox is sending bad messages?
Any thoughts I how to fix – or do I have dead hardware? The rest of the Navio appears ok. Motor drives, sensors etc

Hi Foeg,

Have you tried running the emlidtool test command? It’ll check how the main hardware components on Navio2 work.

Results attached

Check the GPS plug on the card. Be sure to have a tight fit. It is very sensitive…
