GPS Hat not working - RPI3B

Post by meshpi »

Hi there,

I purchased a "Adafruit Ultimate GPS HAT for Raspberry Pi A+/B+/Pi 2/3/Pi 4", installed the latest Raspbian and followed the instructions up to here:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ult ... basic-test
mesh@meshpi:~ $ stty -F /dev/serial0 raw 9600 cs8 clocal -cstopb
mesh@meshpi:~ $ cat /dev/serial0

I'm not getting any output nor is there any blinking light on the GPS hat, is someone able to help?

Not getting any blinking LEDs seems to indicate a potential connection issue. Can you post a photo of your setup showing the soldering job on the HAT header pins.
