Hello all,

I recently received a CC board, downloaded the latest GCS and firmware builds, and updated the firmware on the board to the PPM build.  I'm having no luck getting the GCS to display GPS info, and have yet to find the issue.  One potential issue that I see is that in the latest GCS download, there is no setting for GPS baud rate as shown on the wiki: http://wiki.openpilo...ol HW Settings.

Seeing the difference, I downloaded the source and ran "make package" on next branch, pointing to the camera stabilization merge.  The built GCS is the same.

Can anyone provide any suggestions?

Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron, as of now there isn't GCS support for GPS.  That's for a further release which is currently in progress.  We are all waiting for that day    and what a day that might be!!!!!

By the way, are you into development (since you have posted this under Openpilot Development - GCS development.  If you are not into development, I would suggest you post it under multirotors.  Most views happen there I believe.

Hi Aaron,

If you build from next you should have the latest release, It should include the GPS setting.
Please find some more information about how to enable the GPS in the wiki here.

I think master will also work now Berkely as Next was merged to master a few days ago, I know we have a small USB problem in Next right now for Windows (if you are not on Windows, go ahead and use Next).
