Hello there I have a ZED F9P based GPS module hooked up to my cube on the GPS 1 port as well as tried on the GPS 2 Port, I am using the GPS only for Navigation purposes not yet for RTK, I have left the configuration in Arducopter pretty much Auto, GPS_GNSS_MODE = 0, GPS_Type = 1, Serial 3 protocol = 5 and Baud rate was set after checking with U-center for the receiver module to be at 38400 (38).
I have 3D fix with Sat count of 29, however whenever i try to arm in loiter i have the Failing config error. Does ardupilot have issues with Ublox-F9P?
I’ve just bought a drotek zed f9p module and plugged it into gps2 and it worked instantly. I now get an rtk fix in seconds, something the here+ was never able to do.
Other than getting the baud rate right I’ve had to change nothing else to get it working.
Here+ and F9P are very very different, no wonder they have different performances. Here+ is based on ublox 8 tech and is single frequency, F9P is multifrequency. That said you are probably using the Drotek antenna (Tallysman TW7972) that is miles ahead of the antenna that comes standard with here+.
Hey Tegwin, are you running it with Arming check enabled for GPS Configuration? The baud was set by checking on the U-center Message configuration for UART 1?
Does the DroTek F9P include a compass or do you have add an external compass? (I didn’t see anything in the documentation describing the compass so I’m assuming that the compass is not included.)
