MediaTek default firmware

Posted by Phil P on July 4, 2011 at 6:21pm

Hi Guys,

I bought a MediaTek GPS from DIY drones to use for a weather balloon project. It won't be used for a drone or with any other DIY Drones hardware.

The problem I have is that my transmitter only accepts either 4800 or 9600 baud input, and while I have been successful in changing the baud rate of the MediaTek GPS to this rate, it forgets after a power down and resets to its default 38400 baud.

I would like to know if there is a default version of firmware that I can load to the MediaTek that will default to 9600?

I could have a micro that changes the baud rate every time after power up, but this might be over-complicating things, and might be another area that causes reliability problems.

I figure most GPS units default to the NMEA 4800 baud, so there would perhaps be a standard general firmware file for this generic setup?
