Marcus, for some reason, I removed the parsing line for the "F2" messages at some point recently. It's back now and should be working....

Hello Paul

I'm also a newby to the scene. I have a simple scenario as follows:

I've set up a UDB4 running MatrixPilot V 3.2.1 to use "#define SERIAL_OUTPUT_FORMAT SERIAL_UDB_EXTRA" in the options.h file. I have attached an OpenLog to the port on the UDB which is successfully logging channels output to the SD card. As I understand MatrixPilot outputs ascii text to the port and OpenLog just logs the data in a text file. Now when I connect the same port (I use the gnd, RX2 and TX2 pins) to my com1 serial port on my windows XP laptop and I connect using HK GCS Lite - v1.3.33 in the Serial Data tab, Raw Data window I keep getting the message IN: Unknown Message: followed by unreadable text. with the field GPS Type: changing between 20% and 35 %.   

My questions are:

1) I believe I should see text that I observe in the files logged by OpenLog (for eg. the "F2:T0:S100:N0:E0..."), should I expect this?

2) When I disconnect the serial cable the GPS type changes to 0.0% but I still see the IN: Unknown Message: followed by unreadable text scrolling in the Raw Data view. Should the data not stop scrolling?

3) If what I assumed in 1) is correct then either my communication port is not properly connected (I am just using the UDB GND, TX2 and RX 2 connected to COM1 GND, RX and TX) or HK GCS needs to be set up to recognize SERIAL_UDB_EXTRA messages. If that is so would you please advise me on how I would do this?

Thanks in advance for you assistance

Grant, I'm not sure I can help you. MatrixPilot is in constant flux to the best of my knowledge. You'd probably have to ask Peter are the compatibility at this point. I also think they were planning on going to MAVlink at some point, not sure how far they made it with that.

Hi Grant,

I suggest you repost your question to the UDB discussion group.

Best regards,

Bill Premerlani
