We used a micropilot at uni for our UAV Outback Challenge entry, with the main reason at the time being that we only had a ~9 month timeframe, and needed something that worked out of the box, and with support available. Bear in mind that this was in…
Chris, when we wrote the uBlox code, we did try to accomodate as many different stock configurations as possible, as just amongst our group of developers we had units with the different diydones store configs, units from sparkfun, and i think some…
Chris, just to add to what Bill said, our code doesn't need the ublox to be in nmea mode at startup, it will happily start in UBX only mode. But if the ublox is in NMEA mode, it will do enough NMEA stuff to get it into UBX mode (which is only…
Edward, i had a similar problem recently. I was eventually able to fix it by loading a workspace for a different model of microcontroller (in my case an 18F4550 instead of the dsPIC30F4011) which forced the ICD2 to download a different OS to the…
correction, nav_valid is used in the code, so i will find a UBX equivalent of that, but just to confirm, the only bit that is used for our application is bit 0?
Evening all!
There seems to be a bit of interest in getting the dev board to work with the UBLOX chipset GPS receivers, i've seen several people ask about it, and Bill has commented that all is required is to write appropriate firmware. My dev…
