GPS connection to UCenter

The TX & RX were switched so Clean Flight is now seeing the GPS( I thought I had already tried that) but I still cannot connect the M8N to U Center via an FTDI to my computer. I have a U Blox 6M as well as the M8N and I have tried swapping the Tx & Rx and all three of my FTDI’s but no luck connecting to U Blox configuration tool U “Center”.  I have read a lot about “bad FTDI” boards.

Do you have any experience with U Center and if I order a FTDI from QQ will it work with Windows 10?

 

Just saw the LED video, well done!

Hi Steve, thanks for posting here,  If you have your gps communicating with Cleanflight, but cannot get it to communicate with your computer directly, then I would suspect that you are having a driver issue.  Personally, I have successfully connected a UBlox GPS to U Center on a PC running windows with an FTDI without issue, but Windows 10 users as you well know tend to have many driver related issues that can cause all sorts of problems.  I would start by making sure that my drivers are working and that my FTDI board is properly communicating with the computer- then check your baud rates.
