Good evening, I just got my system set up but I'm having a problem with the GPS. I have the MediaTek MT3329 and I'm running Ardupilot 2.7. The MediaTek appears to have a GPS lock (the blue light within a minute or so goes a solid blue). The shield (both blue and red boards) however blink blue even after a half an hour. However, if I hook the FTDI cable they both go solid blue. Additionally if I run the GPS diagnostics I show multiple satellites and lat/long/altitiude. The last sign it is working is I took it out to where I fly and sure enough the 'home' location I get if I read off the plane is the field. When I brought it home and tried there, the 'home' location updated as my backyard.
So first, the blue/red boards should switch to solid blue when the GPS locks correct? If so, any ideas on what I did wrong such that the autopilot doesn't seem to be picking up the GPS? Thanks!
Dave

Once you got the MediaTek GPS blue LED lock at the field, did you try a reset of the Ardupilot? That might cure your problem.
Just a thought.
