Reach M2 integration with Ardupilot - NOT WORKING

Reach Module / M+ / M2 Hardware integration
4

Hi Vlad,

We haven’t tested the Matek H743 FC with Reach receivers but I suppose the integration should not be that different from other boards.

Let’s cross-check the main parameters so that everything is configured correctly.

Position output of Reach rover:

  • Device - UART
  • Baud rate - 38400
  • Format - NMEA

Mission Planner settings:

  • GPS_TYPE2 = 5 (NMEA)
  • SERIAL4_PROTOCOL = 5 (GPS)
  • SERIAL4_BAUD = 38
  • GPS_AUTO_SWITCH =1

M2’s S1 to the board connection:

  • RX to TX
  • TX to RX
  • GND to GND

It’s important to test the integration outside so that the unit calculates at least a Single solution to send. Also, after you change the parameters, you need to restart the ArduPilot and very likely need to reboot the board.

Please specify if these settings work for you.
