My MTK 3329 GPS Reset Solution – Arducopter

I ordered a new MTK 3329 GPS module and tested last weekend on my Arducopter.  The new one works fine in the cold – no more resets back to NMEA.  Very strange issue on my original MTK.

A great flying quad-copter:

My New Arducopter

I’m having some trouble with the MTK GPS and the winter weather in St. Louis, but otherwise, this is the best flying copter I’ve ever had. It has a GPS/barometric pressure/sonar rangefinder  driven autopilot that will be able to fly waypoints and come home on command. I’m working now on a tilt/pan video camera transmitted to the ground and commands on a bidirectional data link (XBEE). Highly recommended and available at: DIY Drones.
