GPS issue?


  • I have a quick question from some findings. I have found that the upspackboard is interfering with the gps signal not matter what you do. Is there a way to propperly shield the board and wires?



  • Thank you for this feedback. We are not seeing similar issues on our test devices. And none of the radios on NOMAD should interfere with GPS. However, sometimes there can be an issue with USB3 interfering with GPS. In this case, a simple solution would be to wrap USB3 cables with Faraday Fabric Tape. This is available from Amazon, generally for under $10. 

    We'll do some more testing on future NOMAD builds also.


  • @TX Programmer Have you tested the pi5 for this issue? Seems like alot of the issues are coming from the pi5 drawing alot more power than the pi4 would. I have tested everything I could in multiple situations to make sure. When I remove the upspack from the equation the keyboard miss typing issues and gps issues go away, which I have been told is an issue with the pi5 pulling alot of power and causing interference. I am looking into replacing the upspack with a 18650 battery pack that supports the 5v 5a needed for the pi5.
