Programming a uBlox moduleWhen you order a uBlox GPS module from the DIY Drones store, you should specify that it be programmed for ArduPilot as shown below.
If you forgot to do that, bought it from another source or otherwise need to reprogram it, you can do so with the FTDI cable. A tutorial is here. If you don't have an FTDI cable but do have a USB Xbee adapter, you can use that instead. A tutorial on doing that is here. | |

Ublox the neo5 module uses the NMEA agreement to make a mistake Lat:0.0000000000 Lon:0.0000000000 Alt: 0m, #sats: 0 GPSERR: Bad sentence!!
I have some trouble with my Ublox GPS. I believe, it does not find sattelites. Today I tried to lock my position and but the GPS could only find a satellite and lock my position. The rest of the time APM Planner monitor tells me NO GPS. I checked in the Terminal and tested the GPS. It gives my a endless row of cryptic lines but also a recurring "Error reading com port". I waited for a very long time not touching the plance. Then I walked around with it and the autopilot and eventually even flew some rounds, hoping to find sattellites.
I am located in northern Germany if that is any help.
Thank you very much for the help. Daniel
Hi,
any idea what could be causing the GPS fail. I am still getting no GPS. Only very rarely it finds satellites but looses them quickly again.
Best, Daniel
How can this u-blox 5H module be used at 4Hz? When looking into the datasheets at the u-blox site, they say that all H-series use flash memory and therefore can't give data faster than 2Hz?! I'm a bit confused here. thanks
best regards
