WTB: Solo GPS Shield V2

[richnat]

Does anyone have a Solo GPS Shield V2 they would part with? Maybe you wrecked your Solo or sold it and have the shield just lying around or maybe you have a spare you don't need. Just checking before I drop $30 with 3DR for one. I also have a nice little tablet sunshade I could trade for it (see my other listing in the Classifieds).

TIA

Do the cardboard fix....& save $30 .....Shield V2 for a piece of black cardboard.....don't do it....

I think two strips of electrical tape over the board does the trick to prevent grounding as well, and would not be a moisture issue. I could be missing something. A lot of people swear by the v2 shield. I have on inbound and will report my findings.

Let me know if it is anything but cardboard....advertised as EMI absorbing polymer shield....and it probably is thou..

One can get a whole sheet here:

Will do.

The V2 shield does more than electrically separate the V1 shield and the electronics. In fact the V1 shield is coated with a heavy plastic film which does a fine job separating the copper shield from contacting the electronics. The V2 shield is a more efficient EMI shield and the copper in the V1.

AND the point of this thread to see if anyone had one available they'd sell.

Looks like you can still order one if you are still looking.
