MediaTek MT3329 GPS 10Hz

Posted by Matthew M on May 25, 2010 at 6:12am
I purchased this with full knowledge it wasn't ready to go out of the box. I'm starting this thread to consolidate efforts to utilize this GPS in the multiple projects here at DIYdrones.

I'm working with the UAVdev board and the MBED micro controller.

I have included the datasheets and associated documentation.

Here is a link to the USB installer software

*NOTE: Default baud rate is 38400 not 9600 as stated in the Datasheet.

    I got the device and MAN is it SMALL!
    Any update on when the board will be available and will it be available without the module installed?
    Which cable will I need to go with that board and my ArduPilotMega/IMU?
    Thanks Jordi, great work!

    FInally got mine wired into the mbed and it seems to be working it is outputting serial on the tx about once a second. LOL! I'll have to code up a NMEA parser next. :D

    I wonder if I can just wire this straight into my UAVdev board modifying the GPS cable from the DIYdrones store? I'm assuming it may need some setup for baud rates and mode.
