Got everything together.
Installed the iosd internally and chose to keep the canbus intact. After I got everything organized and ziptied, I updated the iosd. Before putting the top back on, I powered it up and made sure everything was working and getting iosd displayed on my screen. Everything checked out. I line up the top to make sure none of the wires are in the way to get pinched or if they're too high. All is well. Great. I screw everything together.
I've been waiting to get some good sunset shots around here. I have everything charged up and ready to go. I waited until about an hour before sunset to drive to the park. The park is 5 minutes away. Figure a few minutes to set up and then 1/2 hour to get some shots.
Get to the park and go through my startup procedure and notice I'm not getting any gps. It usually takes less than a minute and I'm good to go. I have nothing but blinking yellow. oh. my. gawd. Can't believe what I just did. I forgot to hook up the gps cable. I was so stoked that everything was working and no issues with cables getting pinched that I just started putting the screws in. Of course I left my allen wrench at home. le sigh.
There's no way I'm flying w/o gps so I head back home. Was able to get back to the park but I just missed the good sunset.
Oh well. I'll get it next time.
Anyway, that's my story. My son was with me and laughed as I put on my Napoleon Dynamite voice and called myself an IDIOT.
