External GPS / Compass

Posted by John Funk on February 16, 2015 at 10:53pm

Has anyone tried using this particular GPS / Compass with Ardupilot 2.6

If so how are the leads connected to the 2.6

I am very new to this. Building my first quad.

Nice looking unit, but I notice there seems to be only 4 wires. I wonder if the compass data comes over the UART link instead of I2C (the usual way).

Cheers,
Colin

  Its Greek to me. Any ideas as how this would connect to the 2.6?
  
  It is advertised as Ardupilot compatible.

    Can't help with that,sorry. Me, first thing, I'd hook it up to a USB serial converter and any old terminal program just to make sure I was getting data.
    
    There's a customer review that has this:
    
    Connection documentation is:
    
    Red: 5volt
    
    Tiny Black: GND
    
    Thick black:Unknown (please let me know!)
    
    White: Tx (put this in a serial RX)
    
    Cheers,
