GPS will not find satellites or lock

Posted by Joe Bastulli on July 19, 2015 at 9:14am

I never had a issue with my GPS until I decide to go for a quick flight today.  The first thing I noticed was that my char set was messed up on my mimimosd.  So I then uploaded minimosd-extra on to my osd and it fixed the problem.  After I decide to try again to fly.  For some reason my quad will not arm. Then I decide to plug it back into mission planner and see why.  I appears as if I cannot connect to any satellites.  Im not sure what caused this my as you can see in my picutre below I have 9 sattlite connections.  It wasn't until I flash mimimosd extra on the osd when I started to have these issues.  Any tips or ideas would be much appreciated.

    @Joe,

    I would check the serial port configurations in your full parameter list.

    Since I do not know if you are using an APM or a Pixhawk, I cannot tell you what serial port the GPS is on, but I would look for the port that is set to 38 and make sure that it is set to protocol 5.

      Also I'm not sure how you look for port 38 in full parameter list
