Redirecting GPS status LED

[JollyGreyFlyer]

Good afternoon,

I have a CRIUS MultiWii AIO Pro and I want to display the GPS status on another pin so that I can put a series of LEDs to show what fix I have.

I have looked in many different places but have not found the answer I require.

Any help would be appreciated as what little hair I have is being pulled out.

Thanks

I have described a solution which even exceeds your purpose in
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4779&p=47933#p47933

You have a ATMega2560-based board with some pins available so the solution fits to your hardware.
Attaching a GPS to your flight controller will cause the related LEDs to blink until the 3d-fix will have been reached.
Afterwards the LEDs will be switched on permanently.
At position hold the LEDs start blinking slowly, at return to home they blink fast.
Beside the indication of the status of the GPS device you get the arming status ans the error status for free.

Hi QuadBow,
The Yellow GPS led acts differently to how you described it.
No fix flash
Fix of <5
Fix of >5 - 6= 1flash, 7=2flash etc

I had a feeling that a re-designation of a pin might work.

Thanks Dave

Hi JollyGreyFlyer,

Have you already tested it? You must be very fast!

Actually I don't have yellow LEDs, but blue LEDs for the GPS device.
The pin layout is as described in the file def.h

#define LED_GREEN_PINMODE pinMode (30, OUTPUT);
#define LED_BLUE_PINMODE pinMode (31, OUTPUT);
#define LED_RED_PINMODE pinMode (33, OUTPUT);

But I've got another board - I hope they do not differ.
But, most likely something went wrong with the adding or replacing of the new code.
The first section of my code has to be added in the funcion alarmPatternComposer (did I write something like alarmHandler? Maybe that is the reason - sorry) like follows

Code: Select all

void alarmPatternComposer(){ 
  static char resource = 0;
  // patternDecode(length1,length2,length3,beeppause,endpause,loop)
  #if defined(BUZZER)
    resource = 1;                                                                                  //buzzer selected
    if (alarmArray[1] == 2)       patternDecode(resource,200,0,0,50,2000);                       //failsafe "find me" signal
    else if (alarmArray[1] == 1 || alarmArray[8] == 1) patternDecode(resource,50,200,200,50,50); //failsafe "panic"  or Acc not calibrated                     
    else if (alarmArray[0] == 1)  patternDecode(resource,50,0,0,50,0);                           //toggle 1
    else if (alarmArray[0] == 2)  patternDecode(resource,50,50,0,50,0);                          //toggle 2       
    else if (alarmArray[0] > 2)   patternDecode(resource,50,50,50,50,0);                         //toggle else         
    else if (alarmArray[2] == 2)  patternDecode(resource,50,50,0,50,50);                         //gps installed but no fix
