No GPS for Wireless Tracker v1.1 and Meshtastic

#1

I cannot get a GPS fix for the Wireless Tracker v1.1 with Meshtastic firmware. The GPS appears to be on, it just always says ‘No sats’

I tried the following:

  • Two separate boards in case it was a hardware issue
  • A few versions of the firmware (it’s now on 2.5.8).
  • Changing the Meshtastic GPIO RX to 33 and TX to 34 as well as flipping those settings.
  • Setting GPS EN GPIO to 3
  • I left it outside with an external antenna and a clear view of the sky for over an hour.

Any ideas on how to make the wireless tracker GPS work for Meshtastic?

Hello, I hope this document can provide you with some references

An hour may not have been enough for first boot - give it up to four hours.
