Re: [Paparazzi-devel] GPS Problems

[Meghan]

We were using the ucenter module in the code when we experienced the problem. 
The next time we flew, we specified the dynamics model, and the UAV followed 
the path specified on the GCS, but the GPS debug messages still showed there 
was no response for the NAV5 configuration.

We will try loading the configuration onto the GPS using the ucenter program 
instead to see we can get a successful NAV5 configuration response. 

Thanks for the suggestions, 
Meghan
