APM not recognizing GPS lock

Hello All,

 

I've searched around, and found a lot of discussions on the MTEK GPS and APM.

 

I've tried everything I know to try, and am at a dead end.

 

I have the MTEK with NO BATTERY.  I successfully reflashed the unit by soldering pins onto it, and hooking it up to my FTDI cable.  "Green Donut".

 

Using miniGPS, I get accurate data when my baud rate is at 38400, and I'm connected to USB.

 

I've seen Chris mention that the code re-sets the GPS module on every boot, so I'm not sure how the 38400 in miniGPS relates to the 115200 I think APM is expecting.

 

Connected to the APM, I get a good solid blue LED on the GPS unit, but no red LED on the shield.

 

Any tips on what to try next?

 

Thank you!

 

JC
