Magnetometer and GPS not working

Today I got the Magneto unit. So I soldered the Magneto to the IMU. But when I run "c" command in CLI mode. I can only get 0 vaule in all fields like the picture below. Do you think my Magneto is damaged?

 

Also, my MediaTek not working. I used the FTDI cable connected the MediaTek unit to the computer as wiki.Then I try to flash the firmware. I always got error message. I also use the test program in the firmware zip file folder. I left the GPS for hours near the window so it can easily get GPS signal. It still can not get GPS data fixed.

 

I did a test fly with no GPS and Magneto on board (http://www.diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/finally-up-in-the-air). The IMU working when it is fly. But I can not say the problem is Magneto. Since they are working together.

 

Can I send back the IMU, Magneto and GPS to get diagnose?

Cyber: did you select the right GPS in the config file? If you have a new MediaTek that should be GPS_PROTOCOL_MTK16.

BTW, I don't think the new MediaTeks are supported by ArduCopter RC2, but they are supported by ArduPiratesNG and APM of course. If you're using ArduCopter, we recommend that you use the ArduPirates NG code, not ArduCopterNG. This is in the manual: http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/Quad_LoadingPage

Oh, I did not.

 

In the manual? Okay. I used the wiki until now. But all there is about the mediatek is how to update.

 

I didn't know there was a manual. I will look for it. Thanks
