Hi guys, I am using a custom made board with atmega328p and want to use a ublox neo 6m gps serial module.
Since I don't want to use and I2C lcd for configuring and GUI can't access serial with serial_gps I want to know how can I set gps_hold to be activated at AUX2=2000 .I am using Arduino ide .I want to just upload the code whilst preset for aux2 to activate gps hold.

At boot the code will check if the gps is connected otherwise it will be setup as a regular serial port.
So you can connect the ftdi and configure the settings in the Gui.
Then plug the GPS and reboot for flight.
Otherwise you need to find where gps hold is activated by AUX in mwii.cpp.
You will also need to set Alt hold and Mag hold boxes too.

Atfirst I also thought the same but sadly it doesn't work that way, once gps_serial is defined config won't work .

I tried that but its too much stuff hence i thought someone may be knowing how that gets done like the developers.
Thanks anyways (I thought no one will reply as multiwii is old and no more developed so no one on forum)

if it was configurable via the desktop gui in the aux* section, you could also add something like this to your config.h
Code: Select all
for(uint8_t i=0;i<CHECKBOXITEMS;i++) {conf.activate[i] = 0;}
conf.activate[BOXHORIZON] = 0x05; // aux1 Low oder high
conf.activate[BOXVARIO] = 0x02<<((4-1)*3); // aux4 M +
conf.activate[BOXBEEPERON] = 0x04<<((4-1)*3); // aux4 H
conf.activate[BOXBARO] = 0x04<<((2-1)*3); // high aux2
not your actual code but you get the idea
