Out of Stock :(

Well the excitement finally got too much for me. Sparkfun do not sell all the bits (and the delivery is mental for UK). Cool Components do not sell all the bits (mediatek not there). Active-Robots sell random parts none helpful.

Ive gone through the manual and threads on it and am so excited I do not know if I am gonna be able to wait for the restock of Media GPS. I have also noticed the problem threads for MediaTek GPS, where comms arent working and such but have not seen any about the uBlox.

 

Is this because the uBlox is not being used with the APM by anyone yet or that the uBlox works so easily it has no problems?

What is the better GPS platform for UK? (given we do not have WAAS :( )

 

 

I know its still alpha but I couldn't care less being a home tinkerer and coder (.net so this is way different but I'll  love doing my best).

    Ritchie, both the MediaTek and uBlox modules will work great with both ArduPilot and ArduPilot Mega, and we're using both with both. We're working through lots of bug reports in the APM alpha code and the MediaTek parser is newer, so that's you're seeing more reports there. But it will be rock solid in Beta and beyond.

    We've got several hundred MediaTek modules in hand, and they just need to be mounted on the adapter. That will probably happen later this week and it will be back in stock. They're popular and move fast!
