Yes. Your's will be coming soon.

I apologize again guys. I went through the first 2 group buys quickly, but I had a lot of changes this past year and don't have the time/energy that I used to. No excuses, and I will get your GPS units to you. But don't think I don't feel shitty about all this.

People who are interested in future group buys. I won't be doing any money first group buys anymore. I will buy everything myself, build them, and then post a group of them up for sale.

Sorry if this is the wrong place, but I had a question about building one.

- When the GPS is powered, should the GNSS LED be lit?
- The BT module does not seem to be assigning a COM port. When I connect a WIN10 laptop to it, it connects fine, but when I look at my bluetooth settings, I see both the Incoming and Outgoing, but no COM ports are assigned. Any thoughts?

Edit got com ports but seeing no NEMA data.. Ucenter freezes when polling the setting from the gps.

FWIW, I've used this every track day for the past year and it's a champ. Turns on as soon as I start my car and immediately connects to my phone without touching anything. Great little product.

Has anyone plugged one of these in and figured out how many milliamps they draw while operating? I'm trying to figure out how long they would last while plugged in to a cheap USB battery charger thingus but I'm too lazy to cut up a cable and check for my self

Any updates with these?

I'll have to give you my new address before shipping out since I've moved recently.
