Need advanced help with Ublox

Hello,  First off let me say that my Ublox is working excellent. I need some advice from an adanced Ublox setter upper. I am trying to either set up the Ublox to periodically send the NAV-TIMEUTC field  (0X01,0X21)or poll it from the Aurdupilot. I want to put a time stamp on my log files. I have a Openlog operating on my Ardustation. The manual is not to clear(to me anyway) on how to send a polling message to the GPS. This would be my preferred choice. I got it to run periodically in U-center but could't get it to stick. After power cycling the GPS the change in U-enter message view UTC time was gone. While i was in there i noticed that the 'Dynamic platform model" was set for 'Automotive' instead of one of the "Airborn" choices. This change also did not stick. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Sending an empty message is the polling message.
    Check out http://www.u-blox.com/images/downloads/Product_Docs/u-blox6_Protoco...
    Send the GPS the NAV-TIMEUTC (page 76) with length = 0 to poll the receiver.
    You can always receive this message periodically (CFG-MSG)
    regarding the save problem, checkout CFG-CFG and select "Save current Config", that should save your config into the non volatile memory :-)
    Cheers.
  • Not an owner ... I only played with a borrowed ublox for a short while. To "make it stick" I think you are looking for the command to write the RAM to non-volatile storage ... UBX-CFG-CFG ? But doesn't the config program have something built in to do that? Yes, you do have to manually tell it to save the changed settings to non-volatile memory after you make the changes.
