oh hey, that's a fun thing to read:
the raspi v3 camera might interfere with GPS satellites

to clarify: it interferes with GPS satellite signals. as in, it might mess up your GPS reception near it.

it doesn't go mess with the satellites themselves

it's apparently because it emits RFI at a harmonic of the CSI clock rate, which ends up being 1575 MHz, which is in the GPS L1 band

@foone Bad news for the RTK-guided vision-based open agriculture robot projects out there 😓

@miermont @foone is shielding practical? Also is this the kind of thing the FCC frowns upon?
