OK - I've gotten myself a branded Raspberry Pi PSU - 27W, 5.1v at 5.0A
This should be ample power - but the same issue occurs when I plug the camera in. As soon as I do (into a USB3 port), the GPS looses it lock (red light stops flashing on the GPS board), and there's no longer a fix and running cpgs from the command line no longer updates. As soon as I unplug the camera, the GPS board will get a lock back in a couple of seconds and cpgs starts updating again with position, time and sat data.
Plugging the camera into a USB2 port does not have the same effect - so I now think that this must be a conflict somewhere. Does the GPIO serial pins share any interrupts / settings etc that could be causing this? Or does the GPIO power pins share a common path to the USB3 ports?
