I bought this to connect to my genuine 3DR pixhawk.

The green power led lights up and after a minute or so the fix led light starts to blink but the pixhwk never see's it. I can't find any documentation about the thing. I suspect I need to change the baud rate does anybody know if that's the problem and if so how would I go about doing that. Terminal?

Okay I see it's windows only. I guess you were referring to this then?

Thanks Thomas. I dusted off an old PC and download the uBlox tool but can't for the life of me get the gps connected. Updated the FTDI driver still no good. It sees the correct com port but never connects. Not sure what to try next other than re-do all the connections. It wouldn't be the first time some connection wasn't %100 with all the pins and wires temporality connected. Does the TX of the FTDI cable go to the RX on the gps? I seem to get mixed signals googling that. But I must be getting close. Thanks again.
Thanks I tried that but I have not been able to get it to connect to either the Pixhawk or the Ublox tool so I guess there is more going on that incorrect connections. Gonna re-solder the pins on the gps tonight and see if that's it.
Thanks for the quick response! I soldered a header / pins to the M8Q then made my own 6 pos cable with power, ground, rx, and tx. But I did not program the gps with 3DR configuration file. Could you elaborate? Is that in mission planner? I have a Mac so I'm using APM Planner.
