I'll cut out the normal parts.

As previously discussed.  3.17 is very old.

Oddly, Magic Hat does not appear to be enabled...

It is more helkpful if the script is run when gpsd is running.

Once again, old gpspipe version, but nothing would have happened since
gpsd was not running.

I do not see the auto-pilot.  Is it 26ac:0012?

Why do we not see the u-blox?

Also due to old gpsd.

You only have gpsd installed for Python 2, not Python 3.

What is that?

That told me some things, but since the u-blox was not plugged in, and
gpsd was not running, it said little about your original problem.
