problems with compass and GPS VGB 5.1 ( fixed. pilot error)

Posted by Rob on October 21, 2014 at 6:06pm in VRµBRAIN - support and discussion

 First post and a quesion. Sorry :)

I am installing a VR Brain 5.1 to control a large quad. I have the VR Brain and GPS units connected up on the bench and everything seems to be working except the GPS and external compass. I have flashed the board using mission planner with the latest stable firmware. The GPS is the VR unit with the VR cable. The onboard compass is working and when I select external compass from mission planner and remove the jumper I get a bad compass error and mission plan shows no GPS.
I also have an APM2.5 and as a test I connected the GPS to the APM and it worked OK, quickly gaining a 3d lock. so this is looking like a configuration or software problem. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Rob
