add GPS antenna

GPS antenna testing

GPS antenna tuning (1592 MHz in air)

remove 2 components from the charger (positions D3 + U13)

remove all components from the top part of the board (above the EMI shield)

add zero-ohm resistor

add EMI shield (temporarily attached in one corner)

add tag extension 21,4 mm + tag (do not solder right-side battery/2,5V pins on the tag extensions)

tape underneath the tag to protect holes for programming from the resin

enlarge holes on the charger (2 mm drill)

battery 5-pack assembly (5x Saft-14250; 3mm x 0.1mm welding strap)

apply hot glue all around the EMI shield (to prevent the resin flowing underneath it)

add foam protection - antenova (12x12x17mm) (note: should be added at the very end, after the application of hot glue)
