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
