MediaTek MT3329 GPS problem

Hello,

Today i just received the mediatek met3329 gps with adapter from diydrones.

I connect it to serial1 on a arduino mega 2560 and load the example sketch found here.

https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0ByI4WbhJsiyqMDYzMjVmYTItMzc4Ni00NTRlLTg2NjctNzFiNmEwOWM2OTI4&hl=en

 

The gps module after some time found a fix and the led was changed from blinking to solid on but in the serial i wasent getting anything. Only the first line "GPS MTK library test" .

Then i connect it with an ftdi cable and opened the minygps found here http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot/wiki/MediaTek

The gps was working ok and showing all the data.

Then tried to update the firmware to 1.6 with Powerflash and same thing again. When i connect it with arduino it only showing this line "GPS MTK library test" ..

 

Can anybody help?im trying to fix it all day.. =\

    The code you're using is ancient, designed for versions of the Mediatek firmware that haven't been out for years. Use the current code instead.
