Allow configuration of ublox GPS message rates. about cleanflight-configurator HOT 15 CLOSED

I am sure the code can be changed if what you say is happening. I am sure there will be lots of changes in the near future to the GPS system in CF.

from cleanflight-configurator.

It would be good in the GUI to see packets received from the gps and its
current settings There is pretty much no info until there is a lock.

Will the nav code from eosbandi be ported over?

GPS improvements are coming, patience young Jedi :)

Yes, I mentioned to CTN that the GPS page wasnt very helpful, new MSP commands are needed to make it better.

Can you give me some advice on all hold pid tuning as well. There's no info
I can find on the new vel pid and how they work.
The defaults are quite jumpy for me

@hydra what GPS hardware exactly is being tested, and does it have an AUX Mag, and or IMU?

from cleanflight-configurator.

The latest rev 5 naze32. Genuine full version with baro and mag onboard.
Its in a 3d printed case foam on the baro. It is very jumpy and yoyos a lot
like when multiwii is using the z axis more than the baro sensor

@l2smith2 I was referring to the GPS hardware, I am curious as to what hardware is being tested with respect to the GPS. EG., what version of GPS, and does it have its own MAG, and or IMU?

from cleanflight-configurator.

No its a basic neo6m ublox from HobbyKing. No mag or IMU. I think its the
same as the crius v2 neo 6m. They work really well with a standard multiwii
board. I've had to move the naze pretty far from the pdb because of mag
interference.
If there was a test or A better way to visualize that in the GUI it would
be helpful. I only noticed in the Ez GUI my heading wasnt changing with
motors throttled up.
I've tried ubx and nmea and different refresh rates on the GPS. I believe
nmea at 5hz was the most accurate. Only one displayed any info in the GUI.
Pretty sure no individual sattelite info was there

So you are using the Neo6. I got it. What I was asking was from @hydra to determine the latest hardware they are using to code the new GPS performance standards. I want to know what the new GPS package is (? Version of GPS? AUX MAG, ? IMU?)

As to you (I2smith2) I think you have to hang tight on the GPS issues. There is a lot of change happening just around the corner. as Hydra put it, "be patient young Jedi."

I am excited for improved gps.

I think the GUI needs to be updated a lot to have check boxes for all the
settings instead of using CLI commands. At least improve the documentation.
Maybe add a CLI variables page relevant to cleanflight.

This is the cool thing about this project. You can make changes to the documentation to the way you think it should be then submit a pull request. Then if they approve it, they will amend the docs. Open source is wonderful. If you have ideas for functionality, you can also submit them (create a folder) in the Issues thread. If the guys who are coding like it, they might implement it. Lastly you can always hit the IRC chat for help. Hydra and the rest of the dev team really have things dialed in and I expect to see amazing things with cleanflight.

Please can you create a new issue in the cleanflight firmware repo to allow users to select update frequency.

I'll rename this ticket to be 'allow configuration of ublox message rates'.

In the mean time configure your gps as per the docs and disable auto configuration.

Must admit, this is pretty low priority right now. I think the focus should first be finding out what settings work well for everyone and updating the defaults, then after that we can think about greater customisation for power-users, do you agree?

from cleanflight-configurator.

Yes I agree. I think this board with the right firmware has the potential
to be a professional product.
It already flies fantastic even if you frames bent, not symmetrical and
props are damaged.

Absolutely agree - first get the basic GPS functions stable and working well. I have built an "experimenter" ZMR250 with PA6C GPS (see: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280890908793?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT ) - also have use of uBlox NEO-6M GPS (CN06-v2). Currently GPS_Hold and GPS_Home exhibiting "quaint" behaviours. :-)

Closing this, requires firmware changes, we can re-open if the firmware gets updated.
