Title: Instruction : OpenPilot Revo and uBLOX GPS NEO8M how to
Post by: vk4tec on April 04, 2017, 08:27:34 pm
So I have my Revo ( large ) hooked up to USB to libre pilot ( good connection ) 

I have a uBlox NEO-M8N hooked up to the Main Port

I have 5 volts applied to servo port 1 to supply volts to cc3d servo ports ( GPS wont work without it )

The GPS module has a green light come on now.

I fire up libre pilot.

Hardware tab ( I can see the REVO is connected )

Main port - GPS
Main port - speed 57600
Main port - Protocol UBX

Can you believe all I forgot to do was a REBOOT !

How embarrassing - now I have GPS is "brown" to "RED" - GPS is RX data because no fix yet 

Let me place this just outside my house ( wait for it )

Ok now I have a Orange / Green status for GPS status . Means < 7 satellites

Wow - thank you so much !!

Please add this into the instructions.

I can now add GPS telemetry to my plane.

Flight Data page - the icon has moved to my home !!

GPS has blue flash LED - we are in business !!

Awesome - Andrew
