you may find most people frequently developing for MultiWii have little motivation to use and support produce of the Rabbit type.
To find out why, read here http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1610439

Well that is rly a shame!

Is Navigatron the only I2C GPS we can find other than the Rabbit one?
It is out of stock in http://www.flytron.com/sensors/180-i2c- ... thers.html

Anywhere else I can find it?

By the by - that Rabbit GPS is a serial device - not an i2c one like the navigtron.

One more reason to forget it.

With a SD for GPS data record


Would this work out of the box with current MultiWii I2C GPS integration? As I know it 2.0 version is using some Navigatron exclusive functions, or am I totaly wrong?

No I2C GPS board that you buy now is going to work - the GPS code isn't finished for serial devices yet - I2C code will follow after.

If you buy any of the I2C devices currently available you will need to update the software when it's ready.

Well, there are some code related to that in 2.0 that have no experimental or not working tag.

Code: Select all

/* I2C GPS device made with an independant arduino + GPS device
   including some navigation functions
   contribution from EOSBandi
   http://code.google.com/p/i2c-gps-nav/ */
//#define I2C_GPS


Anyway I'll be getting one of these two boards (http://www.flytron.com/sensors/180-i2c- ... thers.html or http://qcrc.ca/shop/index.php?main_page ... ucts_id=41) when one of them arrive.
