Yes, the blue LED of the GPS is flashing. I use the Baitian BN 220
GPS is not recognised at start-up! I will have another look at the two I2C pins and re-solder them if necessary!

This has nothing to do with the daylight saving correction. The GPS date is not correct in the display!
Kind regards,
Jürgen
Hi Jurgen,
The display of the date is constructed by reading out the datetime information from the GPS and then recalculating that to UNIX-time (seconds since 1st jan 1970) to allow the teensy timers to directly use that info. But in that calculation we also adjust for DST and as Edwin stated this weekend this problem was not there. But we are going to see what goes wrong in the code,

Hi Cor,
thank you for the quick answer.

Hi,Hi Cor,
Is it possible to change the location display in the GPS menu, for example to: hddd° mm′ ss.ss″ ?
It would then be easier to display the position on Google Earth.
Kind regards,
Jürgen
Hi,
I guess you mean the displayed position when you are in the GPS menu. That would be possible but I do not see any benefit in this and for instance in google maps this is also not necessary. In the searchbar of Google Maps you can simply type in the digital degrees for latitude and longitude and it will go to that location.
Also in our recordings we store the location in digital degrees to allow using of specialized software to have access to the location.
But I will keep this in mind when we are working on the code (not any time soon I think) as a request, I hope you chime in the moment we are announcing a call for "bugs" "requests".
cheers
Cor
Edwin,
the bugfix works perfect! Here is my picture from today. Unfortunately, the bats don't fly yet because it's still too cold.
At the moment I am using the training files from your website to get to know the device better.
The sensitivity to the Batdetector 3,6 is already phenomenal!

Thank for the information Cor, corrected files are on my website for both Teensy 3.6 and 4.1 based detectors. The Teensy 4.1 files are compiled with PSRAM option and four variants are available although only the GPS variants need to be updated, I generated all four versions.
For bugs and requests.
I do see a 0d FIX many times when SIV indicates several satellites. On the bottom of the GPS_STATUS screens I still see fix 3d. I also had the indicator showing the red droplet with a white x when I still had fix 3d in the bottom screen but I was unable to recreate that. I hope someone else had the same issue and was able to recreate it.
For requests a battery indicator on the display to show LIPO charge status.
A feature requested by others is a USB file transfer option although pulling the SD card and putting it into the slot of a computer/USB cardreader probably works much faster. Pulling out the micro-SD is a bit tricky and the question for USB filetransfer came back several times.
I hope some people can confirm the wish for these features, or have more and even better ideas.
(or good reasons why not to invest time in some requests)
Tonight the bats are out.... We had a nice day and a warm start of the evening Nathusii and common pips as wel as well as a noctula have been spotted on the detector several times.
