Hi all,
I’m trying to integrate my VN300 with my cube orange to be used as external AHRS with GPS.
Has anybody had any luck doing this? I’ve followed all of the steps (VectorNav External AHRS — Plane documentation) however when I power up the board it gets stuck in a loop of initializing GPS2 as external AHRS and refuses to do anything else: Here’s an excerpt:
etc…

What other settings should I look at?
In addition, is it possible to just use the VN300 as GPS only?
Thanks
