GPS suddenly quits during flight

Post by kg4ueq »

I have the MultiWii Pro with MTK GPS and today during a short flight, the GPS suddenly stopped working. I had GPS Home set and when I activated it, nothing happened. After I landed, I connected the FC to MultiwiiConf and there was no GPS activity at all.

I tested my FC and there is power (around 4~5 volts) at the header where I connect the GPS. I connected a 5 volt power source to the GPS board and the indicator light comes on and is orange. However, when I connect the GPS to the FC, I get nothing. The LED on the FC that normally indicates the number of satellites flashes orange.

Is my GPS just fried and I should just move on and replace it or is there something that I am missing?
