Hi Brad,

Well just reading through: https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/using-gps-expansion.html#using-gps-expansion Reading through that it would be fairly simple to use an exec node for displaying the gps info as well. Luck has it I have a GPS expansion as well but was taking the one step at a time aproach so haven't even unpackaged it yet Let me give that a go and will let you know via this thread if I succeeded

Below are the contents of my Template and Exec nodes for your information so you might even get the gps info on the OLed before I do

Tweet Template Node:

Tweet Exec Node:

So I am basically just using the Template node to setup the command line for oled-exp commandline tool to write out to the Oled.

greetz,

@WereCatf said in Omega 2+ DOA:

@Leo-de-Blaauw Use an exacto-knife or similar to cut the bridge, instead.

Low and behold we have light that was it, I cut it with an exacto and now the yellow light is on ! I know these things are cheap but so much for quality controll I guess...

@dennis-ctp Mine doesnt even have the capicitor and still very very crappy reception if at all both inside and outside..

@Costas-Costas true, but in their defence i had a soldering bridge on my omega2+ they have promised to send me a replacement on my ticket for that issue. So went ahead and fixed it and it is working fine now. Replacement not yet here though..

@Ian-Marchant Yes agreed it might very well be a faulty antenna or just the antenna being quite small. I don't have an external antenna lying around unfortunately but will try experiment with one, once I find one Ow well experimentation can be fun !
