Re: [beagleboard] Connecting/configuring ublox M8n GPS to Mission Planner Passthrough with BBBlu

Aaand. Done. I have GPS and blue-arduplane. Thanks Robert and Jason. Now you'll be able to say you "knew me when..." Cheers to you both. On Thursday, July 6, 2017 at 3:36:27 PM UTC-7, Jason Kridner wrote: > > Indeed, TX on the GPS (the one spitting out data) should be RX on the > UART.

Indeed, TX on the GPS (the one spitting out data) should be RX on the UART. > On Jul 6, 2017, at 6:27 PM, Timothy Litvin wrote: > > I've wondered that too, but haven't yet switched them; I wanted to first > confirm that the software really should be that simple. > I'm

Re: [beagleboard] Connecting/configuring ublox M8n GPS to Mission Planner Passthrough with BBBlu

I've wondered that too, but haven't yet switched them; I wanted to first confirm that the software really should be that simple. I'm probing the GPS signal at the uBlox board itself, definitely the wire silkscreened "Tx": I'm getting a signal there. Not likely my spliced connector leads are

Re: [beagleboard] Connecting/configuring ublox M8n GPS to Mission Planner Passthrough with BBBlu

In my previous post I re-flashed the BBBlue because, after some amount of poking around troubleshooting, on reboot somehow I had disabled all my comms. So: clean slate. Reflash. I setup WIFI and, with an updated Debian image, installed the most recent recipe for blue-arduplane, (the latest

Re: [beagleboard] Connecting/configuring ublox M8n GPS to Mission Planner Passthrough with BBBlu

So I’ve re-flashed the Blue, upgraded, updated and reinstalled blue-arduplane (without the original uEnv.txt dtb substitution), and connected WIFI via connmanctl. The board is working again, with comms back. GPS blue LED is blinking (meaning that it has a GPS lock). I can again run

Re: [beagleboard] Connecting/configuring ublox M8n GPS to Mission Planner Passthrough with BBBlu

After running those commands and typing my post, it occurred to me that I hadn't rebooted. When i did, I lost all comms: no WIFI, USB, IP, COM. Please bear with me, as I've got a busy day ahead, but I'll re-flash and re-setup later and take another whack at it. On Saturday, July 1, 2017 at

First, I'm genuinely appreciative of the time and attention you guys are putting into this. I was actually worried that I've overextended my pleading quota. That said, after running sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install tio It seems I'm still across town from Easy Street,

Re: [beagleboard] Connecting/configuring ublox M8n GPS to Mission Planner Passthrough with BBBlu

Robert, Can we make sure the Blue UART pins default to UART and that config-pin is not necessary? This is critical to our expected user experience where the I/O ports are defined by their default function. What did I do wrong? Regards, Jason On Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 12:35 PM Robert Nelson

Robert, Easy enough: I’ve deleted the dtb=am335x-boneblue-ArduPilot.dtb from /boot/uEnv.txt and rebooted. So, explicitly, the Blue-Ardupilot recipe line #3 Add BLUE DTB sudo sed -i 's/#dtb=$/dtb=am335x-boneblue-ArduPilot.dtb/' /boot/uEnv.txt is now obsolete with Jason’s recent DTB fix. Now

Re: [beagleboard] Connecting/configuring ublox M8n GPS to Mission Planner Passthrough with BBBlu

Easy enough: I've removed that line from /boot/uEnv.txt, confirmed updates and rebooted. Screenshot from subsequent "sudo opt/scripts/tools/version.sh" included with my reply to Jason. Restarted and reconnected everything. So far, still no GPS connection. BTW, from Jason's One-Liner GPS test,

Re: [beagleboard] Connecting/configuring ublox M8n GPS to Mission Planner Passthrough with BBBlu

My ublox M8n has a blinking blue led which I’ve come to believe means it has at least a good “2D lock”, i.e., at least 3 satellites while here,

Re: [beagleboard] Connecting/configuring ublox M8n GPS to Mission Planner Passthrough with BBBlu

Hi Jason, thanks for your support as well. The One-Liner tests should be a great help. When I try your GPS one-liner verbatim, or set to 9600, the line feeds, but then just sits until I ctrl-C. What does this tell me? On Wednesday, June 28, 2017 at 1:45:24 PM UTC-7, Jason Kridner wrote: > >

Thanks Robert, I've loaded your update. I had assumed the BBBlue had those pins pre-allocated (as the PCB silkscreen indicates). Mirko's instructions made the GPS sound like plug-n-play, not referencing additional setup. I’ve installed the config-pin utility, and a command-line entry of the

Re: [beagleboard] Connecting/configuring ublox M8n GPS to Mission Planner Passthrough with BBBlu

With my latest device tree patches, it should be UART by default without any config-pin calls. Most of these GPS devices are 4800 or 9600 baud by default. I've created a page for one-liner tests for various modules: https://github.com/beagleboard/beaglebone-blue/wiki/One-Liner-Module-Tests On
