Hello,

We've purchased a Starling 2 Max and are entirely unable to get a GPS lock. It's to the point where we believe it is a hardware issue.

We ran voxl-inspect-gps and get 0 sats and no lock, as well as extremely high errors (see below)

 dt(ms) |fix type|Sats|Latitude(deg)|Longitude(deg)| Alt(m) |Vel(m/s)|HorErr(m)|AltErr(m)|
  126.1 | NO GPS |  0 |   0.0000000 |    0.0000000 |  -17.0 |   0.00 | 4294967.295 | 3791396.864 |

When the GPS is unplugged while the VOXL2 is still running, the values shown in voxl-inspect-gps change, confirming that the GPS and the VOXL2 are communicating.

Is this a known issue? We have MRB-D0012-4-V2-C29-M11-T9-K2. Is this a simple fix?

Thank you.
