Baseflight-20131126 not detecting GPS

Post by tiga88 »

Hi
I am having problems with this baseflight version, the release on 20131126.
As you can see in the links below, with this version my GPS module/antenna is not detected, if I use one of the previous releases there's no problem
example: baseflight-20130719 is OK and baseflight-20130206 also ok with no problem detecting GPS and fixing GPS signal.

Anyone faced the same problem? any advise?

This is my board + gps --> http://www.kkmulticopter.kr/index.html?modea=vieweng&mc_selected=MultiWiiCopter&sc_selected=FlightController&sn=flycam_black32_set&id_no=158

Why are you using insanely ancient firmware?

Hi, because I could not find a more recent one. the Board installation guide points here:https://code.google.com/p/afrodevices/downloads/list?can=1&q=&colspec=Filename+Summary+Uploaded+ReleaseDate+Size+DownloadCount

If there's a more recent one, pls let me know where can I find it. And by the way, Multiwiiconfig V2.3 is ok or should I go for a different software on PC?
tks for the help

Thanks for pointing me the way to go! in fact I already found github yesterday but i tested a baseflight and found the same problem as I found today in MAY 08 and May 19 releases. Everything is ok with board connected to pc. when I power the board alone it does not start well and I am unable to arm motors.

last Release, may 20th works fine, allowing motor arm without connecting to pc, gps is recognized but no signal is found, any satellite, so no 3D gps FIX.
Drone is outside in the window. with the old releases I was testing I was able to find always 3 or more satellites.
Am I missing any CLI sets? or problem is elsewhere?
    feature ppm
    feature gps
    set gps_type=1
    mixer quadx
    map AETR1234
    set mag_declination=-253
    set midrc=1520
    set mincommand = 900

once more thks a lot!
