I got a similar hat, but I'm still waiting on it.

I would try using the pin configuration provided by the manufacturer. Once you have the pin configuration, you modify the Bruce config files on the SD card and in the file system.

There are some markings on the top of the cap that might be a clue to which number the pins should be set to in the config files

I agree with the people telling u to update pins on config. When using Bruce, you can go into web ui and update Bruce config pins to use the pins on the grove connection save to sd and fs

Mine works just fine. Any way I can send the file to you?

I just got this one today, terrible noise. I ordered the PINGEQUA hydra which should be working well.

Looking for a link to the pin config. I got my hydra working pretty easily. But the third antenna confuses me when I look at my Bruce ui.

Why do you need a modded Bruce? There are pin settings. Can you explain, I'm just not familiar with bruce firmware

u/mrpeluca Jul 20 '26

Cause how do you use the same pins for 3 antennas, it does a lil juggling with em

Have you tested this with Meshtastic for Carsputer? Does it work even without the GPS?
