No GPS or Telemetry

Help needed please.

I now have the Pixhawk all hooked up and working with the M.Planner.

It all connects, the artificial horizon tilts etc.

The lights are flashing on both telemetry Tx & Rx modules but I have no radio data. The airside Tx has intermittant flashing LED’s, orange & yellow and the laptop side Rx has a blinking green LED but no data in the Radio menus.

Same with the GPS. Is the puck antenna supposed to have LED’s ? If so, mine is as dead as a doornail.

I haven’t even hooked up my Radio or Rx yet. Just plugged everything in and powering it with the USB cable from my laptops main usb port.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

I’ve managed to nut out the GPS problem.

I noticed in the bag the GPS came in there was a loose, spare 6pin connector.

My GPS had a 5pin connector as supplied.

Searching around I discovered the -Negative wire needed to be shifted over one space from pin 5 to pin 6.

I managed to swap the connectors over now my GPS antenna puck it on with a solid green LED.

Still no joy with the radio link.
