Arduino Ultimate GPS Shield

Post by matboy16 »

My Arduino Ultimate GPS Shield does not get a fix even when i take it outside,
it keeps outputting this


Time: 0:0:0.0
Date: 0/0/200
Fix: 0 quality: 0

I dont know what the problems is, it worked before,
i know its not a software because the led blinks every second
instead of every 15 sec when it gets a fix,

Do you have anything mounted over the shield? Does the GPS module have a clear view of the sky?
Have you installed the backup battery?

if the backup battery went bad, could replacing it fix the problem?

Replacing the backup battery wouldn't fix this problem. But it would allow the GPS to get subsequent fixes faster.
Can you post some clear pictures of the shield?
