"The u-Blox support team is extremely helpful.I would send them an image of your board, and they will be able to distinguish if it's a genuin u-Blox."
"Justin,I'm unsure reading through the thread if you have decided on a new multi-rotor yet. Here's my take;I'm a UAV instructor, and the company I'm currently working for uses Phantoms for students on the flight line.. I, personally, after working…"
"Altitude Hold is now working properly on my current frame. I added a vibration mount, and elevated the Pixhawk to be above the prop-wash and so far there's no issues."
"Rob, I used the Pixhawk Controller as a way to access the GPS in u-Center. According to u-Blox, this isn't the best way to do so, but it should still provide data.I got off the phone earlier today, for a second time, with u-Blox support. It seems…"
"I figured having the Pixhawk with a shock mount inside the frame will rule out any issues."
"You know, I've been looking it up a bit. It could be a few variables such as prop wash. I also have to open up the board and check to ensure nothing is blocking it. I'm just about finished with my scratch built carbon fiber frame. Itching reaaaaal…"
"The GPS is on the back of the board, yes. I also do not own an arduino, and don't have the equipment to wire the GPS to an FTDI.I wasn't expecting to need anything else, considering this was supposed to be Plug-n-Play, with minor setup in Mission…"

"As stated in my initial post, I left the unit outside for over an hour. The positioning of the GPS in relativity to the frame is not the cause of the issue.."
"There is a solid blue light displayed on the GPS. I've tried connecting via u-Blox's u-Center program, and the Packet Console tells me something alone the lines of, "Unknown", within lines of code. I would tell you exactly, but now it seems as if…"
Good afternoon everyone. I recently finished my 3D-Printed X4 frame, and have installed all required (Pixhawk) electronics. Everything is working great, and I have done a successful test flight; But.. The GPS seems to be unwilling to work with the…
