Hello All,Well, I tried to repair my uBlox antenna, and I'm not sure it went that well.I downloaded u-center, and when I use the same port settings I use to connect to ardupilot, I get this in the "Packet Console". Doesn't seem good, should this app just fire right up with the right port settings?

I know this is an old thread - but think i've got a ublox module playing up (bought from the diydrones store a year or so ago)
has been working flawlessly, did some firmware upgrades. used it in ubx and nmea modes at differing baud rates etc etc.
then, it hasn't been used for a month or so, and all of a sudden it's not giving much out at all. managed to get some info from the output window in ucenter and ran the diagnostics tool in the program. any ideas anyone?
Looks like jordi was using ublox firmware version 5 for this configuration file, and you have version 6 factory loaded.
If you play with the u-center interface a little, It gets easy to configure. But it is hard to get started with.
The configuration viewer is were you save a setup to uBlox, So when you remove power It will remember all setting, if you don't write changes they will be lost. This is very good software interface.
Try the "messages" viewer in Ucenter. It will show what messages the Ublox is outputting, and also allow you to poll other message types. Very useful for diagnostics. Also, through the configuration viewer you can view and change the current configuration.

Upload this to Ardupilot and check it out in the Arduino serial window. It should output location data.
