Hi Michael,

I don’t see your return, do you have a tracking number?

Thanks,
Bryan

I received the Draws on or about June 28.  It performed flawlessly until a couple days ago. 
After using it till about midnight, I discovered that it was essentially dead the next morning.
Draws-Manager said it could not be found. There was zero audio to my Ft818.  The gps no longer
functioned in gpsmon or cgps, including a myriad of other issues.  Pi continued to perform fine.  
I hooked up the Signalink and was able to work as before. I vbelieve that the board has quit.  
I sent a message via the NW Digital site and no response. Please exchange this board for a working replacement.
Please advise.

Sincerely,

Mike Narges WF8O

Dale,
Could you post the native SolidWorks file?  I'm a SW 2019 user and would love to have your model for layouts and modeling for future projects.
I notice you are in SE Michigan. Do you know Dean Kerste? He's the SolidWorks User Group Leader there in that part of the state. Great guy. Look up his user group and make some meetings, you won't be disappointed!  Coincidentally, I'm the Fort Worth SolidWorks User Group Leader.

Re: Compact gps antenna and c4labs case mod

I have a couple of those compact gps antennas, and while I cringed at the price initially, the performance is worth every penny.

I've yet to find any chinese or similar knock-offs, so Symmetry appears to be the one and only source for them.

Very nice.  Thanks.

Compact gps antenna and c4labs case mod

Experimenting with a compact right angle SMA antenna with LNA. So far so good. Procured from symmetry electronics, $32 shipped. Mfg is embedded antenna design, model is FGPS35216-SM-RA.

Also soldered powerpoles to the 12v cable, coated it in liquid electrical tape and mounted it to a corner of the case with an M2.5x16 screw I got from ACE hardware for $0.75.
May modify the acrylic to keep the wires enclosed. See pics and output of cpgs

I'll check it out in the morning. No CAD software at home. I'm sure it is excellent. 

What's the weather like in Sidney? It's humid and hot here in the Great Lakes. 

Cheers mate!

Re: 3D drawings?

No problem. I've been given permission to create files. I should have something in the next couple of days (maybe as soon as tomorrow afternoon). I have some ideas for cases and have a Shapeways account to turn things into production items for the group. Please understand that I'm not doing this for profit. This will be in the spirit of Open Source. 

For me, I'm going to make a steam-punk DRAWS system. :) Brass, flashy lights, coils, etc., etc. Or maybe, I'll stuff it all into an old TRS-80... the possibilities are endless. For me, this isn't something that you put out of sight. It's genius that should be celebrated. Choose function, choose art, choose whatever. We need an Ecomm version. We need a classroom version, etc., etc. Maybe a wearable? Who knows? 

Cheers,

Dale,

I'm using Fusion 360 so STEP or IGES would work.  SolidWorks *.prt, *.asm, *.sldprt, *.sldasm - up to SolidWorks 2018 - would also work.  Detail would be nice, but bounding box dimensions and mounting point positions are all I really need.  Thanks for offering.

Hello Han,

Let's move this over to https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe

Are you on Windows, MacOS, or Linux?  

Has the ThumbDV been operational and then recently quit?

Does the LED flash when you test it?

Hi, Dear;

I'm Han in Seoul, Korea.

I bought the Thumdv as DV3000 about one year ago.

Unfortunately, I failed the test with your recommanded test software.

I'd like to test mine is ok or not.

What can I do for that.

Pls inform to me in detail.

Would something like this have sufficient level of detail for a 3D model? This is a screenshot of a Pi3B:
