Much appreciated aidandj! I get to really test it out this weekend at the first race.

Quick question how many clients can I connect to it? I'll be running 3 phones during the race with at least 2 recording and 1 providing gauges. Would all 3 be able to connect to the GPS via bluetooth?

[edit] **** actually i forgot I'll have my tablet too! this may be getting out of hand...

Lost the last shipment of adapter boards. I still have 19 extra. If 11 people volunteer to wait another week or 2 that would be awesome. More work on them tonight happening.

Rained all weekend, which means I couldn't test the GPS units. Going to try and get an evening with hailey driving around so I can test them all.

More adapter boards came in. I've been testing the units as I can. Its been raining non stop here which makes it hard to test them. I won't send them out without testing so hold on a little longer.
