Hi Bernhard,

today I have finsihed building my HP25E GPS.
However, so far I have not been able to get a position. Number of satellites remains a zero.
Does the fact that I do not get any error messages mean that the wiring is correct and the GPS module simply doesn't find the satellites? Turning GPS on and off changes the current consumption by about 40mA, which seems to be correct.

I have placed the module like you have done in this picture:


But in the manual you ask for it to be installed upside down. Does that make a big difference?

Cheers,
Harald

Edit:
There is one more thing I noticed. When pressing EEX in GPS mode, after a while I get GPS OHH insted of GPS OFF. Is that a clue to what is happening?

And another update:

Success: It appears I was just a bit impatient. I don't know why the 10 minutes outside at lunchbreak were not enough, but on the way home I got results:


Thanks again for another great toy!!
