ArduIMU + MediaTek 3329 Based GPS

Posted by Ahisham on September 2, 2012 at 11:08am

Dears,

I would like to use my SkyLab skm53 gps (based on MediaTek 3329 http://competefornothing.com/?p=113) with my ArduIMU V3. I am able to connect the gps to ftdi directly to read (and upgrade firmware) its values on PC. Its working and i can get position fix with that.

However, connecting the gps to ArduIMU to ftdi and using utility ArduIMU Test, I don't have any gps data! Tried updating the firmware with the bin included "MTK_DIYdrones" (http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot/downloads/detail?name=MTK_DIYdrones.zip&can=2&q=) but still no data. Tried changing GPS_PROTOCOL between 1&4 without success.

I think it may not work while FTDI is connected, since it is using RX/TX, is that correct ?

Please help me, am really stuck with this.

Best Regards
