GPS not working

[Iamyahodfpv]

I currently have a foxeer m10 wired up and am not getting any gps info.

[Qrome]

Are you seeing any of the other OSD elements?

[Iamyahodfpv]

Yes, just not getting info from the gps

[Iamyahodfpv]

The gps elements are there but no values show up

[Iamyahodfpv]

The gps is a m10q 250, is there something I need to change in the config?

[Iamyahodfpv]

Also the baud rate is 115200

[Qrome]

You can change the baud rate in the firmware and compile it on your own. The default is expecting 9600. If you need me to compile it, let me know.

[Iamyahodfpv]

What tab would that be under in the arduino io?

[Qrome]

It is part of the QLiteOSD.ino code. Near line 58.

static const uint32_t GPSBaud = 9600;

Change 9600 to 115200 and compile it. If you are not able to compile it, let me know the options you want and I can do it for you.

[Iamyahodfpv]

Well when I plugged the board back in I didn’t have the pins lined up and I think I may have bricked it. Is there a way to fix that?

[Iamyahodfpv]

Now I’m just getting a solid blue light and no osd

[Qrome]

Yeah, reversing the plugs can toast the Wemos D1 Mini board -- good news is you can replace those.

[Iamyahodfpv]

Is it worth trying to uninstall and reinstall the drivers? It doesn’t smell like I smoked anything.

[Iamyahodfpv]

I didn’t plug it in the wrong way just miss aligned the pins by one slot

[Qrome]

I have seen it toast the Wemos D1 mini if the pins get plugged in wrong. Solid light or not light is an indicator. Remove the Wemos D1 mini from the socket and try to run it off the USB cable and or load it again -- if it will not load or if the LED does not start flashing then it got toasted. They are easy to replace.

[Iamyahodfpv]

Yeah not getting anything when plugged into usb, it shows up but won’t connect

[Qrome]

Yeah, sorry to hear that.

[Iamyahodfpv]

Okay so I got the new board, flashed it but when I plug it in I'm not getting anything. No flashing led when plugged into the board but it does flash when plugged into my computer

[Qrome]

That's an indicator that there might be a bad solder joint or joined pins. Did you solder the d3 pin and gnd for wifi mode? If so, make sure that is correct.

[Qrome]

Post some photos of the board.

[Iamyahodfpv]

It was the button for the WiFi, removed it and now it works. But still am not getting gps info

[Iamyahodfpv]

[Iamyahodfpv]

I changed the baud rate but still no gps data in the osd. I wired up the gps to a quad to make sure it wasn't the gps and it worked fine on that

[Qrome]

Make sure you have the TX to RX pins correct. Try to swap them. Also, you may need to take it outside to get satellites.

[Iamyahodfpv]

Rx is going to tx and tx to rx

[Iamyahodfpv]

[Iamyahodfpv]

It's weird that it is showing 14 sats but no longitude or latitude

[Qrome]

If it is flashing 14 then it is actually no satellites. Try it outside... Satellite link may require you to have it outside.

[Iamyahodfpv]

The gps is blinking green, which means it has a lock. I'll try switching around rx and rx but they are wired the way they should be

[Iamyahodfpv]

*rx and tx

[Qrome]

Then, maybe that GPS is not compatible. If it has a compass included that might be part of the problem.

[Iamyahodfpv]

Would there be any changes I need to make to the code for an m10 without a compass?

[Qrome]

The project is using the TinyGPS++ library. You may want to check over on that project for compatibility.
