Hello all. I have been working with a CubeOrange in QGC and am currently attempting to get a GPS connection. Whenever I connect my GPS to my CUBE it lights up as if it is receiving power, but there appears to be no connection in the software. I know that it is not the GPS as it works with a different flight controller. I have tried both the GPS1 and GPS2 ports but neither worked. Is there any way to fix this? I am new to this and can provide any additional information if necessary. I will really appreciate any help! Thank you!
What GPS unit is that?
What connections are you using?
Maybe show a photo of the connections to the Cube.
Are you using PX4 or Ardupilot firmware on the Cube?
Hi and, first of all, thank you for offering your help. The GPS is a Ublox 7m with compass. The GPS is connected via whatever connectors the Cube uses. I think they are called GHS1.25. The GPS is currently using the 8-pin GPS1 port although the GPS only has 6 pins itself. I am using PX4 firmware. The PX4 version I believe I am using is the most up to date one that QGroundControl could install. I spoke to the faculty advisor of my club who gifted me the CubeOrange and he said that one of the problems may be that newer firmware will not work with the GPS. I plan on installing older firmware soon to try and see if it fixes my problem. I can provide a photo of it tomorrow as it is in our clubs lab. Thank you again for your help.
That GPS unit should work OK with the flight controller firmware. I think the concern is the actual connections you have there (not the type of connector used) - can you share a couple of close up photos of the wiring, or maybe a drawing.
