I know it's kinda of old and you've move on but I just realized that my GPS reset on Feb 1st so I had to read this thread from beginning again!
Although I grabbed log regularly during winter, I don't always check them up because...winter means garage queen here.
So I started really looking at the logs again when I got the car out beginning of May.
I remembered this thread, started to read it back through, realized I missed my chance to see Henry and get this done when he borrowed the cable (he's my closest roadster neighbour...that I know) although, it looked like winter season so probably wouldn't have worked out.
I went on the hunt to figure out when the reset happen.
I thought this might be of interest to you
@gregd ,I found this in the messages.0 log file:
Feb 1 19:47:30 kernel: ttyS1: 1 input overrun(s)
Jun 17 20:24:08 kernel: ttyS1: 1 input overrun(s)
Luckily Jun 17th hasn't passed yet in 2020
...
So I'm pretty sure, the reset happened on Feb 1st between 19h47 & 20h24 since time is not impacted only the week.
Of course in February, the car was definitely in my garage, nowhere near service centers!
But I was working on a radio replacement project this winter and this was a Saturday evening...so I probably shorted power unwillingly for a split second and bang...GPS reset. No fuse were blown so I never noticed it at the time, so it must have been instantaneous.
Position, elevation, orientation & time in the VDS is good. I now have 137 day offset, luckily both 2000 & 2020 have Feb 29th.
So, if you get requests to ship the cable across your northern border,
@slcasner , I will also be in need of borrowing it.
Right now, I've seen you already have a backlog and wouldn't recommend cross-border shipment anyway until border crossing returns more to normal.
FedEx lost some roadster part I ordered recently from US.
So once your backlog quiets down and shipping returns to 'more normal' (whatever that will be!), I'd appreciate if you put me on the list then. Thanks.
