External GPS on cold boot

Notecard API

Excellent!

And I did finally track down the source or what you were seeing. We do limit GPS reads to every 5 seconds, and we do so because we write each new location to the Notecard’s flash, so we want to avoid hammering on that.

For anyone reading this in the future, our guidance is that if you need updates more frequent than 5 seconds, you’ll have to talk to your GPS module directly like @hcabral did above.

Thanks for the digging, it makes sense to be more sensible about some of the resources at play.

Thinking 10 steps ahead, just wondering how I will manage to go from “IoT PoC” to unified product.

Cheers,
