Sun, 01 Aug 2010 13:46:24 +0000 http://arduiniana.org/?page_id=365#comment-3797 A few weeks ago the family was stir crazy after being cooped up by rain. I decided to try out the box. Put in coordinates of a great bar-b-que joint about a 2 hour drive away. Had a few issues, but it worked! I'll work up the details soon, but does anyone get lots of flicker on their LCD?

The output of the Pololu switch feeds the Arduino. One of the Arduino digital lines is routed back to the Pololu switch's "control" line. This enables the Arduino to turn itself off. Clear?

Yeah, after I made my first box, someone pointed out that the GPS module doesn't really need to be exposed to the air. You can put it behind a thin piece of wood. The signal is attenuated by the barrier, but if the wood is less than, say, 1/4 inch you won't experience too many problems. All my newer boxes have the GPS concealed just under the lid.
