GPS added and Strikestar EU client upgraded
Due to bad USB 1.1 ports on the motherboard the UPS status connection has been lost quite often. For a couple of hours ago an five port USB 2.0 PCI board was installed along with a 1 GB memory stick for data backup.
The new StrikeLink (a SynCom replacement) client application, which uploads strike data to StrikeStar Europe server was also installed. A GPS was also connected and configured to be used by StrikeLink.
The GPS with external antenna was actually bought back in July last year to be used with StrikeLink but was not installed until now. It however seems to be a non-supported GPS receiver as the fractions of a second is always 000 in the NMEA sentence.
