Yeah. Ive had some **** going on that has limited my current free time in the garage to April 2nd track day prep only. I will build the rest ASAP starting April 3rd. Yours is done. Rolies isn't. So I held on shipping hours.

Thank you!

Survived the track day. And taking a break from working on my car. So I'll make the rest of them soon.

Didn't you open source these at some point? Isn't there a BOM and vague instructions posted somewhere?

If by some reason someone gives up on one, let me know, deeply interested. Tks.

Yep. It's in my original sub $50 GPS thread. And also linked here: http://sadfab.com/opensource.html#gps

Caution. It's not fully updated and very DIY, eventually I'll find the time to update it and make sure everything is correct.

I might try my hand at banging a few of these together for other projects. I'm starting to get cocky with my soldering skills.

Gesso and I stuck one of things to a $9 Monoprice USB 6000mah battery and paired it to an old Samsung S4 to try to get telemetry data for some go-carts over the weekend, but we were both way way too drunk to get the custom track setup in RaceChrono or TrackAddict. We were also too drunk to remember to shut it off and it ran all night in the rain with the Bluetooth searching for connections and it didn't even put a dent in the battery capacity.

As a side note, I believe Gesso posted TToTD on a Husquevarna lawn tractor that we pressed into service once the go-carts gave up in the mud.

What is helpful is the adapter PCBs that you have to order in chunks of 8. Everything else is easy.

Aidan, is this the last batch for this group buy? I still haven't received the second one and just wanted to check in.
