GPS help: UCtronics UC-300 / Ublox Neo-6M
Posted: Thu Jan 07, 2016 5:58 am
Hey everyone. I'm putting together my first flight controller.
I have the following configured / working so you can see where I am at:
Arduino Nano clone w/ 328P Atmega microprocessor
GY-521 (MPU6050) 6 DOF gyro/accelerometer
GY-65 (BMP085) barometer
GY-271 (HMC5883L) magnetometer
ZS-040 (HC-05) bluetooth module
Everything so far works from my PC and android devices using the EZ-Gui and the Multiwii Configurator.
I am trying to add GPS capabilities. It is a uBlox Neo-6M on a sort of breakout module from Utronics (UC-300). The GPS module works great using example sketches for TinyGPS, and TinyGPSplus using softwareserial. However I am at a roadblock in getting it working with Multiwii. The config file is a little vague to me on how to set it up to work.
I tried defining ublox as well as nmea. Neither worked. Tried specifying serial pins. That didn't appear to get me anywhere either.
I have not been able to find an example that works strictly from the serial pins on Arduino to see how I make out. But I have my Bluetooth module connected to the serial port already. However I think it may be possible to use a second Nano and link the two via I2C? So that's one thought.
Serialsoftware perhaps another? It was easy enough for myself to get working with the examples.
At any rate, does anyone have any experience with this that can give me pointers on how to get it working or if it is going to be compatible with the Multiwii software at the moment?
Thank-you in advance.
