> Added case adapter to plug in charging cable (micro USB female to Micro male USB)> Added a power light LED (green)

>Added Autogain adjuestment in again as not getting flights overhead, see if that helps.

< Still awaiting GPS Unit

< Ordered a Raspberrry pi Battery pack hat to replace the PowerBrick, will reduce the weight but also the uptime.

< Need to add a manual on button for the (current) battery back, to turn on without opening the case all the time.

< Decoding the data stream, some excellent infoirmationonline

< work out how to get the GPS USB to talk to the Pi/FlightAware.
