The "Ankle Wreacher" Stooge v5 SN28 Build - Tires n' Stuff

Replacement GPS Module arrived. Interestingly, it has a different form factor then the stock one.

Some educated guesses later, I have it wired up.

Also took the opportunity to remove the broken glass, reattaching the screen the same way I did with my other megan
Additively, not the prettiest repair job. looks like it’s been through a couple wars lmao

There was no chance at getting a GPS lock inside my apartment building, so I rode down the street to an empty parking lot to test the repair.

BE-122 spec is cold start lock in 30 seconds. but mine took nearly 15 minutes. Even then, it was intermittent and only max of 5 sats (instead of 8+).
I have a hunch I need to leave it for like an hour before it’s in a happy state. Hopefully this gets better over time.

The red PPS LED on the BE-122 gps was/is intermittently flashing a couple times. I think that means it's in repair mode?

The only information I could find

Suboptimal GPS performance aside, the recorded metr log has a download button. Problem fixed, woot woot. Thanks @janpom


Grabbed a photo of the board while I was waiting. Neat seeing how much it’s evolved over the past two years.
