Re: [Paparazzi-devel] GPS Problems

[onefastdaddy]

Hello,
Maybe I can help here. 
The GPS comes from the factory with very generic common settings that are
pretty good for an automotive or pedestrian application not autonomous
flying robot. 
To change these settings usually requires using the u-center utility. The
settings required for Paparazzi are found on the Wiki under GPS. Go to the
main Wiki (wiki.paparazziuav.org) then there is a search window at the top
right. Enter "GPS" there and search. It will take you here:
https://wiki.paparazziuav.org/wiki/GPS
Are there any specific questions about this page? The help on it? A setting? 
It is safe to use the module: gps_ubx_ucenter in your airframe file even if
you do not have issues. You add this to your airframe file: <load
name="gps_ubx_ucenter.xml" />. Better if unsure search the existing airframe
files for: "gps_ubx_ucenter". You will find at least one. Use that same code
in yours. 
I do not know how much detail you need but the two posts here imply there is
some expectation that from the factory the UBlox GPS module should just work
which is unfortunately not the case. When you buy from a vendor however they
should pre-configure it for you. 
The module mentioned above is thanks to the smart people who develop
Paparazzi. It means you do not need to use u-center app and can do it
instead inside the GCS. 
I just reviewed the GPS page and it appears more than enough detail exists.
I can help more once you review it and have more specific questions.
No worries, we can sort this out and you will have new experience to add to
your Paparazzi resume.
