+Explorer boards built prior to late January of 2017 are not allways working well with a hardwired CGM receiver. This can be fixed with a signal trace cut. Please see this document to cut the copper trace from pin 61 of the 70 pin connector: https://github.com/EnhancedRadioDevices/915MHzEdisonExplorer/wiki#usb-otg-flakiness Cut in two places and dig out the copper between. Cut by poking a razor point in. Avoid the narrow trace above the one being cut.
