Re: LF: Ublox 8 question

Hi Chris,

I'm glad you fix it, thank you for the info. I'm curious, Chris: what the blob was shorting?

If you're planning on using 2nd timepulse, remember to decouple TP2/SAFEBOOT pin with an adequate capacitor, without charge the output in DC to GND (for example, directly with a resistive voltage divider), otherwise the module (at power on) starts in safeboot mode and remains inoperative.

All the best

Hello LF'ers


NOW FIXED!! :) It appears some come with a solder jumper on the back
of the GPS board. Alexander got in touch from CSG Shop and said to
remove the jumper solder blob. I did and it now works on both outputs.
Quit *WHY* some come with this jumper I have no idea, nor why this is
not docuumented, but at least it's not knackered.

For future reference in case someone comes upon this here's a link to
a photo of how it came. Removing the blob leaves three clean bare tiny
vertical pads like the left hand one. I can now finally put it in a
case :)
