GPS antennea seems to die, is this typical of inexpensive units?
#5
Wish I could say the same.

Just spent all evening doing battle with virtual com ports and PowerFlash. Got a virtual com port that I can see data from the GPS module with PuTTY and can switch that data flow on and off via the web interface of the receiver. But PowerFlash only finds "real" com ports, yes I have tried editing the .ini ComSelect=1, to 3. Shuffling the "real" port off COM1 to COM2 (which PowerFlash finds) and the virtual one to COM1 (with ComSelect=1,) to no avail.

Virtual com port from https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/pro...32102.html both Win7 and Win8 (64bit) tried with/without the relevant compatibilty mode set on PowerFlash.

PowerFlash v1.2.3 [for customer].

Win10 LTSC but as PuTTY can see data from the GPS over the virtual com port that bit appears to be working and it's a PowerFlash problem.

With 9.4 in the blitzortung receiver am I wasting my time trying to get the GPS firmware updated?
Cheers
Dave.
