Daisy Hat AIS, no Bluetooth
#1
I just installed the Daisy Hat AIS in my RPi3 and ran the UART control shell. Rebooted and now my Bluetooth is disabled [Image: dodgy.png]. I have a Dual Bluetooth GPS receiver that I would like to use. What can I do?
Thanks, Alex

Yes, you definitely disable onboard bluetooth in order to make the dAISy Hat work. You have a couple of options, neither of which are pretty: 1) you can take the Hat off your PI and power it separately, then use something like Software Serial to create a  new serial port on GPIO pins to do a wired connection to the Hat. The dAISy has pads onboard for separate serial connections, and I seem to remember that the builder gives some brief instructions on how to do this (or you can just email and ask him) 2) You can leave the Hat on your PI and get one of those small bluetooth dongles to plug in to a spare USB port.

Thanks for the clarification, I ordered a Bluetooth dongel.
