Re: GPS integration
Ublox neo modules are not reflashable, but they not need it at all.... You need the u-center software to config the u-blox module. Here is a settings file for NMEA. You can download it to your module with the tools->GPS configuration menu... Once the binary protocol parser is committed to Multiwii ...

Re: GPS integration
Okay, To test out UBlox Vs MTK I've ordered a NEO-6M module from RCTimer and AT328 I2C board to test in place of my MTK based Navigatron, do I need to re-flash the UBlox? Is there a guide to which firmware / settings we need, obviously I understand that I2c is on hold ATM while 2.1 is finished, but ...

Re: GPS integration
Okay, I've done a lot of testing and whilst I'm sure that the GPS is working (the copter rotates to target before moving off) I don't feel it is working right. Position hold = drifting copter, starting from level I don't see much correction after a sizeable drift, I have to intervene before it goes ...

Re: GPS integration
So, In MiniGps where the NMEA sentences are GGA, GSA and RMC = 1 they are turned on right?
But does this mean they broadcast only once every 10th hz cycle, would I get a better fix from bumping them to 10?

Note that Waas could be used only with 5Hz update rate.... Just flashed the...

Re: GPS integration
EOSBandi, Just curious but I'm guessing that the I2C variant will require a combination of Co-ordinated I2C Gps (Navigatron in my case) and MultiWii sketches to function correctly. One to provide the GPS co-ordinates and one to act on them, how much can you offload to the second processor? Can the A...
