"Could anyone tell me what's going on with Arducopter kits?  I have been checking both stores for several weeks and they never seem to be in stock."

Dean replied to Dean's discussion Is it still necessary to press the reset button when using the MediaTek GPS?
"I have discovered that yes, it is still necessary to perform this procedure. This tip should probably be moved to a more prominent place in the APM manual. I struggled for a month trying to figure out why I had no GPS data."

"When I run the GPS test in CLI mode, I always get 0 back as the number of satellites despite obtaining good position fixes. Am I the only one that is experiencing this, or is this a bug in the code? I am using a MediaTek GPS receiver that I had to…"

Should the GPS data show up in the logged data file as well as the telemetry stream even when flying in non guided modes (e.g. manual, stabilize, and fly by wire A)? My logged GPS data is always just zeros, and the GPS data does not appear at all in…

"For some reason I just don't have GPS data. The logged GPS data shows all zeros. The TM data stream does not include the location message. However, the CLI GPS test displays the GPS data correctly (with the exception that the number of satellites is…"

"In preperation to move on to guided modes, I ran the GPS test (in the CLI test suite). I have a MediaTek GPS module and it is reporting: Lat:44.4065475463 Lon:128.9610748291alt 170m, #sats: 0 The Lat is right, but the Lon is not (and it does not…"

"I am wondering if the logging capability has limited bandwith. I notice that if I try to log everything, I don't get everything. However, if I just try to log one or two types of data at a time the data gets logged successfully."

"I successfully downloaded the log file from this morning's flight, but I was surprised to find that it only contained GPS and PM data. As far as I can tell, several other data types were turned on (e.g. Attitude and Mode), but I don't see data for…"
