"I solved this problem. I didn't disable the primary gps on the apm 2.0 with the solder drop:

I also forced the ublox gps to be detected by turning off autodetection.

I have a uBlox LEA-6H gps as an external GPS for an APM 2.0. I get great locks and the GPS coordinates are approximately correct, but the output is strange. I have a custom datalog routine to save all the gps data.It starts out ok:Timestamp (milliseconds) GPS time (hhmmss.sss * 1000 in UTC) GPS Status (0 = No Lock, 1 = Lock) Number of satellites acquired Latitude (degrees) Longitude (degrees) Altitude (meters) Altitude via GPS along (meters) Ground speed (m/s) Ground course (degrees)GPS:…See More
Tom Busey replied to Hawhoo's discussion Why is Handling and Shipping from DYI Dornes so slow?"I'd like some advice from the community about problems I've had with the 3DRobotics shipping department. The whole process has been a complete fail and they are so unresponsive that I feel compelled to try to seek help from a public…"
Tom Busey replied to Johann Van Niekerk's discussion APM 2.5 and 3DR power module failure."I use a simple $20 castle creations 10amp BEC in all my FPV rigs for the 5 volt rail. No reason to use the power module for heavy lifting.
This community really hasn't consider the issue of ground loops either (or at least I haven't seen…"
Tom Busey replied to fredouille_p's discussion assigned another channel for flight mode instead of default ch#5"I just figured this out. You need to go into the advanced parameters in mission planner and look fltmode_ch and set it to 5 (from the default 8).
Why this isn't documented in the PPM part of the APM manual is not clear to me..."

Tom Busey replied to Hawhoo's discussion Why is Handling and Shipping from DYI Dornes so slow?"Ok, I'm glad they know it is a problem. Feedback is important for any business, and how they respond tells a lot about the company. "
Tom Busey replied to Hawhoo's discussion Why is Handling and Shipping from DYI Dornes so slow?"Snarky comments aside, this is still a problem. I ordered an in-stock gps on 1/8 in the morning. As of 1/11 it is still listed as processing. I've ordered a similar product at 9:00PM on a SUNDAY from readymaderc.com and it was shipped THAT…"
Tom Busey commented on Jeff Taylor's blog post Reprocessing Old Aerial Photos"Thanks. How much overlap does photoscan require across images to give the results you show? 50%? I assume it needs some overlap to recover the depth relations.

Tom Busey commented on Jeff Taylor's blog post Reprocessing Old Aerial Photos"Is it important to have the camera aimed at a 45 degree angle or straight down? Or can I just use the footage from my front-facing gopro off my FPV plane?"

Tom Busey commented on Paul Mather's blog post ArduIMU 1.8.1 Posted"This is great. The two things I found most confusing when working with this code was how to set the flags and why we have to divide and multiply things like the altitude and ground speed by 100. HappyK's emulator makes it incredibly easy to…"
