Number of Satellites

Posted by Erik Hatch on March 6, 2011 at 5:16pm

Hi-

I have APM with MTK GTPA010 with v1.6 firmware. Light on GPS is solid blue. APM GPS test shows goot lat and long values. HK GCS show aircraft drifting a few degrees every few seconds......

In HK GCS i show no lock and zero satellites. I see in the demo shots that there is a lock with 10 satellites. Can someone help me to get a lock and satellites to display?

Thanks

    That's normal for APM 1.02, which doesn't send that info to the GCS--it doesn't mean you don't have lock, it just means the sat info is not being transmitted in the telemetry stream. APM 2.0, which will be released this week, does send it.
