configurable GPS, take 2
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2020 10:27 pm
Hi,
I have a ublox GPS puck as GPS1. I originally configured it with a stripped down 'sentence' set, because I could only run it at 9600 baud with one update per second on another system. Sentences are:
GXGGA, GXGSA, GXGSV, and GXRMC. I now have it installed as GPS1 on my Horizon HX, still at 9600 baud. The HX drives a Trio EZPilot with altitude hold module. The autopilot is a bit 'lazy' about holding a course, and not great at turning on course when intercepting. I'm reconfiguring for 115200 baud and higher update rate.
My question: Are there any GPS sentences I should add back to it's configuration, that would have any effect on (improve) the autopilot's turn anticipation, tracking, etc? Or do I already have all needed sentences, and therefore need to look only at the autopilot configuration?
Many thanks,
Charlie
