hello i have a problem with mission planner , my quad-copter have a GPS model : 1575R-A Neo-7M , ardupilot APM 2.8 and mission planner can’t detect the GPS and the ardupilot blue led doesn’t flash or even turn on (which means arudpilot doesn’t detect the GPS )
I tried swapping Rx and Tx wires but it didn’t work

Good day,
can you please provide more info about the way you wire it?

What you show in that photo is correct. I think I created that one actually…

Here is a 7M working on an APM. If switching Tx/Rx doesn’t fix it then your module is probably bad. Take the opportunity to replace the APM with a Flight Controller that is not obsolete.
