Struggling with Pixhawk GPS port

[EliotBR (Eliot)]

Hi @Charles,

I unfortunately haven’t used a GPS with the ROV before, so don’t have first-hand experience with setting it up.

This thread from 2017 covers several of the settings that should be set in QGC. If that doesn’t help I’ll see if I can pull in one of our team who’s got more experience with using a GPS in the ROV.

I also don’t have a compass (or if there is one in my GPS, it is not configure). I read that heading of the compass and vehicule must match. That is not possible in my case.

Not sure where you read that, but it’s not quite correct. Our GPS Positioning docs provide some more details.

QGC : 4.1.3

You likely want to upgrade this to 4.1.4 (Releases · mavlink/qgroundcontrol · GitHub).

Pixhawk 2.4.8 (Pixhawk 1 I think).

The numbers are definitely a bit confusing. From here it seems like 2.4.8 is indeed a version of the Pixhawk 1.
