Hi,
I bought this NEO-6M based GPS module with compass but was not able to get it fixing yet.
With an FTDI adapter I could upload the configuration file attached using the u-center 8.10. In the u-center the GPS module is recognized and a few satellites can found (2 or 3) but not enough for fixing as I'm inside.
Connecting it to the APM (only the GPS, not the compass yet), I can see that it is acknowledged by the APM, the blue led is flashing but still got no fix even after 1 hour pointing antenna to the sky through the window.
In the Missing Planner flight data, tab "Status", I have gpsstatus = 1, gpshdop = 99,9 and satcount = 0. The most intriguing, though, is the response from the CLI gps test (attached image, I could not find how to copy text from the CLI window).
It's only returning garbage, with the string "179.7550372SITION25.5394058" somewhere in the middle.
Any clue on what is wrong?
Thanks!
Arnie

Wrong config file posted, now the one I actually used.
