Hello
GPS has now become erratic on my Navio 2 board. Sometimes it just works fine and sometimes I just get 0 satelitte. This happens despite same locations, same weather and same hardwarde set-up. It even occured that I completely lose GPS during flight.
I suspect a hardware issue my board… Anybody encountering the same problem?
I guess it might be an antenna connector rather than Navio issue. Could you try pushing/rotating/twitching the connector whilst configuring. I reckon you’ll see a difference in the HUD.
I tried special “electrical spray” that cleans and improves connection quality --> seemed to be better but still some erratic disconnections
I tried “Compex” electrical gel (you know the gel to be applied for muscles electrical stimulation) --> again seemed to be better but still some erratic disconnections
I only see as a reliable solution to change the soldered connector on Navio2 board but I feel going for an external GPS + compass connected through UART and I2C for 20 EUR are as well making the deal…
It is indeed quite tricky to get disconnected while in an autonomous mission
