uBlox 5

Posted by Ryan on January 25, 2010 at 4:51pm
Just got a uBlox5 GPS 4hz and the antenna seems to wiggle a bit (loose) - is that normal?

The design doesn't seem to be very reliable.

Thanks
Ryan

    See attached.

    Should at least glue the antenna on to the board beside just the 3 soldering joints.

    Could you post pictures ?

    OK thanks for that!

    I may secure it with some silicone anyway.

    Cheers,

    Fortunately only the plastic cap is loose. It doesn't affect the sensitivity of the antenna.
