no GPS on MP but GPS working

Posted by roberto buti on November 17, 2013 at 10:50am

Hi,

i have strange situation on my APM2.6 with LEA-6 GPS. The GPS have solid blu led and red one on APM is blinking, i have checked with terminal session on MP the GPS, i see right position value and good number of satellite, also inside home.

In these conditions MP continue to show "no GPS" , but comunication it's OK, other parameters like horizontal work fine, no change with USB connection or 3DR radio telemetry.

I try to erase eeprom, upload different version of firmware, until 2.9b, i try also latest 3.01 but in this case the MP hang-up on during mavlink parameter download, typically on RC5 parameter, this my be onther problem, i don't know....., i'm not strongly interested to use latest firmware, but i need to have GPS online...., any idea / suggestion ?

thanks

    I'd recommend using the latest official release, AC3.0.1 because that's the latest, official release and it's what most people are flying so you're more likely to get help vs and older version.

    First thing to do would be to do the eeprom reset (go to the terminal window, setup, reset, Y).

    If it's hanging up during the MP download then there's probably a sensor that has failed and is stopping it from initialising.  My guess is it's the barometer.  It'll show up in the tlog if you have one.
