GPS sensor ?

[razvanstanga]

Hi,

Did you get your hands on a GPS sensor ? I got one from microtechnics.eu. Now I am waiting for minimosd from rctimer.com.

I'm still waiting for them to become available in the US. If you know anyone who has them, please let me know.

In the US no, but in EU www.microtechnics.eu has them from time to time. Can this http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/SoftwareSerial be used ? I want to use this mainly becuse "A parameter enables inverted signaling for devices which require that protocol" so there's no need for a hw inverter.

Aloft had them in stock, so I ordered one for myself. Should be here in a few days.

From what I read about the SoftwareSerial library, it should work since the SPort bus is at a standard frequency (57600) and mode (8N1). It would go something like this:

#define rxPin 2 #define txPin 3 SoftwareSerial mySerial = SoftwareSerial(rxPin, txPin, true); mySerial.begin(57600);

Then you just change the SPort code to read from the mySerial object and you're good to go.

I now have all components:

• mavlinkosd
• ftdi connector
• all frsky smart port sensors
• hardware inverter

I will be testing this weekend on fatshark goggles both softwareserial and hw inverter.

Hello,

Did you get any chance to work on the gps sensor ?

Here's my working version of minimosd-extra https://github.com/razvanstanga/minimosd-frsky. I will start to work on the gps sensor this week.

Hi,

I don't think I'll have time to start working on it anywhere soon. I did manage to get one through aloft, but my work schedule for the next few weeks doesn't leave a lot of free days for hobbies. Do let me know your your efforts go and if there's anything I can help with.
