Greetings all,I've been trying to get the ArduPilot up and running, and have run into a snag. I've gotten the main board to "fly" a mission using the GPS emulator, but when I attach the ArduShield I am unable to get a GPS lock. Any thoughts?Jeb
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
I'm using the uBlox GPS, although my primary concern at the moment is to get the Emulator working, which uses the NMEA format if I'm not mistaken. I've double checked the config file, and I've tried it both with the bind plug in, and then out. With the plug in, the blue LED just flashes continuously, and I gave it about 15 minutes to work. When the bind plug is out, I get a single flash from the stat light, and nothing from the GPS light.
You'll have to give more info to allow us to diagnose. Which GPS are you using? Did you set the config file for the correct GPS? Are you using the bind plug? How long did you give it? Etc....
