Do not speed kids!

Unless you have to...

My whole day ruined due to my lack for care, cross talk and high speed serial communication...

I was lazy to learn the commands to slow down the #gnss chip so I made bluetooth faster. How fast? 460k baud. It worked for a moment and I called it done.

Little did I know my sloppy cable job and cross talk will bite me in the ass when I tried the thing in a remote area for mapping. My #hamradio's systemic ticking on UHF when it is on gave away the culprit. Now it is down to 9600 baud and everything just works.

Today I saw this terrible globe in a model of the Galileo GNSS constellation (in the facilities of a space company). Everything is wrong. 🤦
It is like taken from @terriblemaps

Really nobody working in that building noticed it?

They now have the opportunity to fix the model, but they will never read this post…

Inertial Navigation Emerges as Imperative for Land Warfare

The US Space Operations chief warns that adversaries are deploying counterspace capabilities at a mind-boggling pace, turning GNSS, once a cornerstone of modern warfare, into a double-edged sword vulnerable to jamming and spoofing. This threat is no longer confined to major powers, but has become a routine feature of even lower-intensity…

I thought #DVSA were requiring photos of #vehicle being presented for test? Would also be relatively easy to add #GNSS receiver to #MOT testing kit and/or the device used to take the photos - this, alongside time analysis of the requests sent to the testing system should make it easier to authenticate legitimate vehicle tests..

(This relates to Great Britain's compulsory vehicle inspection regime, which is mostly carried out by approved independent #garages )

"There’s More To Global Positioning Than Just GPS" by @hackaday - US GPS🛰️ started it but isn't the only public global navigation system now. Initially planned for military use, GPS was first to open to public use (after KAL Flight 007✈️ was shot down in 1983) and then others followed. Sophisticated multi-network receivers now improve #Positioning #Navigation #Timing #PNT resolution by combining data from all satellites in view. https://hackaday.com/2026/05/07/theres-more-to-global-positioning-than-just-gps/ #GNSS #GPS #Galileo #Glonass #Beidou #space
There’s More To Global Positioning Than Just GPS

The Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed by the United States military in the 1970s, but it wasn’t long before civilians all over the planet started using it. By the early 2000s the …
