Review on 🌐 Stratux GPYes 2.0 USB GPS Receiver with u-blox 8 Technology by Aaron Urena

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Definitely RTFM - Works fine then

Preparing to return the thing. I installed it, flew, couldn't catch more than 1 satellite. Tried Stratux in every possible position, right on the visor. There are no dice. Basically zero signal. So I took some photos and was about to send it back and write a review when I noticed the static bag said "Instructions Here: (Link)". So I went through the instructions and it turned out that I had installed the element incorrectly (I had covered the unshielded "antenna side" of the SDR). I flipped them once, bingo bango, 11 satellites in solution. *MARVELOUS*. So make sure you install it properly. It will be "up" when the Pi is oriented "normal". The PDF has a link to a small static pocket. Glad to try again, this time it installed correctly.
