G,day…
@DirtFarmer - it may be the firmware upgrade is not needed in your application though I dare say (in my case) it does improve the number of satellites my module was able to ‘see’ and therefore worth the trouble - if you do embark on the flash upgrade just take care with the (de)soldering as the board is not that robust
@silver2row - thanks for the product link, especially the fact it can plug directly into the socket on the BBBlue. I haven’t tried my GPS module on my BBBlue as yet, mostly because am in the process of exploring whether it’s possible to utilise a more recent image/kernel combo …hence my post at debian-11-bullseye-testing-images before going further.
For both of you, just curious as to what sort of usage you plan for your respective BBBlue? I bought mine around the time my son and I were starting to build our first quad-copter though I confess the BBBlue was among a number of controller options where we ended up with a navio2, a BBBMini (probably wont use this) and a spracingf3evo …none of these have been used yet though the spracingf3evo is ready to go pending some more work on the quad frame.
Cheers,
Peter
