Altitude Error

Posted by Erik Hatch on March 19, 2011 at 8:46pm

Hi-

Im using a mediatek gps GTPA010 along with APM. After flying i have looked at my logs and noticed the altitude is reading 1992 meters +. Im only 225 meters asl and im not flying higher than 100 meters. Anyone have any idea why my altitude is being reported so high? Just purchased the equipment in February.

 

Thanks

Erik

    Hi , same problem with mediatek along with AP 2.7.1, solved changing: ARDUIMU.PDE > OUTPUT > line 147 from :
    "tempinit=GPS.altitude /100" to "tempinit=GPS.altitude /10" now altitude is ok , both navigation and GCS.
    (hope this help)
