ArduIMU+ v2 not getting fixes from GPS GS407 with DIYDrones breakout

Posted by devangel77b on May 2, 2011 at 9:10am

Hello:

 

  I have an ArduIMU+ v2, with a DIYDrones GS407 and breakout board (basic).  I am supplying power to the ArduIMU+ with a 7.2V LiPo battery.  I think the ArduIMU is mostly working as it is able to read its own sensors and it talks to an HMC5843 that I added. 

 

  However, it appears to get no fixes.  I checked and 5V is getting to the breakout board.  Is this sufficient for getting a first fix?  I saw somewhere a comment that "Jordi Munoz says the GS407 must be well supplied" and someone suggested 8V but the ArduIMU+ EM406 connector supplies only 5V.  

 

  Or is it something to do with the user options for GPS in the ArduIMU+ code?  I think the right settings are uBlox and text messages?
