I have two problems:
1.Can’t connect to Command Line Interface (CLI).
2.The GPS don’t find any satellites.
I have two APM 2.6, each has it’s own GPS (ublox).
Have two copters, one X4 and one Y6.
X4 is working but I have problem with the Y6 setup copter.
I have tried both beta and stable firmware, right now I have: v3.2.1-rc1 ( 0c3f43b ) in the controller.
Question 1
Think I found answer for that one. The CLI interface is removed from version 3.2 and up. Is hat correct? I would like to do a motor check and check the health on GPS, but I think it’s not possible.
Question 2
I don’t think it is any problem with the GPS module. I have checked the power module output voltage to Flight Controller, it is 4.87. I have had it outside searching for satellites for about 30 minutes and it could not found anyone. I have reseted the flight controller (with factory reset) and tried to update the firmware. The only diffrence I think I have is that one firmware is for X4 and the other for Y6. Is it same Firmware or is it different for each setup?
The second question drives me crazy.
I have no clue what to do or how to solve the problem.
Could it be that I use a Y6 configuration, is it the same firmware as X4?
Without CLI I can’t see if it is working. But I have one last idea. Perhaps I can do as they suggest in “Connection Option #2 – using the APM2 as a passthrough” (copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-ublox-gps/) and test to communicate with the GPS?
I dont Think the APM is brok, everything else works…
Appreciate if someone has any idea to solve my GPS problem.
The frame style (4 or 6y) is the parameters. The GPS is the hardware setup.
I would check the LED lights function on the GPS when powered up. Did you verify the wiring of the GPS pigtail and the flight controller?

It has been outside for an hour now, but it doesn’t find any satellites.
I have a S6 5000mAh lipo so it will be outside for half an hour more… perhaps it is to dark, and it cant see the satellites?
By the way. The Mission Planner shows an initialization error: “RC not Calibrated” but I have tried it when I didn’t have any errors with same result. I think I know how to get rid of that, I don’t think it has nothing to do with the problem with )(%&/(¤%%/( GPS.
@FullScalePilot2, I have two APM and GPS and I have tried both GPS with the other APM and both GPS seems to work. Shouldn’t be any problem with the pigtails but perhaps with the controller. I wish I could test the GPS with the none existent CLI…
I removed the cover from my GPS and traced the wiring using the Pixhawk/GPS diagram to be sure I had a match to the connectors. Sometimes “stuff happens.” I did have a DOA PH. Using a VOM, for through put V, on the PH terminals helped me sort the condition.
Oh BTW: are you seeing LED’s lit on your GPS?
