Re: Those GPS 1pps problems.
Hello again Eddie
This might be a bit more useful!

Re: Those GPS 1pps problems.
Thanks Robert interesting stuff.
I am sure Hans will crack it, if all else fails a special v2.01 GPS parameters with v2.02 RF will be the final solution, because the Trimble was fine on v2.01.

GPS antenna rain protection and "picnic portables".
Dave,
I have another U2 here which I am also planning to use as a "picnic
portable" unit too ;-)
My current thoughts are that I am going to build the second UP501
module that I have into the same

Hello Eddie
Have a look at the circuit around the 1PPS for the PPS Piggie board here:

U2 Success
Hi all,
Happy to report that I built my U2 kit last week (aside from fully mounting
the display in the box, it is complete). You can see my build

Re: Those GPS 1pps problems. (Some bystander thoughts)
Hi Guys,
Just in case anyone gets confused, there is no such thing as a Reyax UP501 GPS module!
Reyax are simply one of several Far Eastern sellers on ebay.
The GPS module being talked about was

Re: 6.25MHz ?
Hi Andy
On key-up, the keying transistor Q1 is switched off, and the C1 capacitor
is also supposed to mop up any RF leakage too. However some RF *still* can
leak through to the antenna! It's many

Re: Those GPS 1pps problems. (Some bystander thoughts)
Hi David
That is why I liked the Trimble, integrated antenna, and also an auto switched SMA antenna socket for use with an external (waterproof antenna).
Otherwise you could use a separate

1pps and LED trick..
I suppose there is only one way to find out.
Plonk an LED On the output via a 2k2 and see what happens ;-)
On my UP501 module I intended to have an LED connected all the time
but it loaded it

Not quite sure I understand that one Hans.

Note about ordering...
All
Please note, U2 kits are still pending arrival of components here. So if
you make an order which includes a U2, I hope it is Ok for you to wait for
it all to be shipped together.

Eddie,
Now you've done it!
Two showers and a train journey and Hans will have worked it out.

Re: Those GPS 1pps problems. (Some bystander thoughts)
I tried a pulse-stretcher using a 555 [found on the net, not my design] with
both a Trimble unit and a Sure development board. Neither of them had any

OTOH, the 555 isn't the best chip to

It's worked 100% on ALL versions, including all versions so far on
the U1 and the U2.
It just works....

Hi Eddie, Andy
Thanks for the thoughts on this. This is the next challenge - to make the
GPS Interface work with both very short, and very long pulses.
I don't know if I mentioned it before, But I

Hi Eddie
No, I didn't put it into the spare bytes! I removed the Hell modes from

Did the Rayax work on v2.01
The 1pps pulse width does seem to be tied up with the claimed accuracy for for timing / frequency purposes. Hans obviously knows how to handle long and short
