FrSky GPS-01 Replacement

Post by XDmToter »

Now that FrSky has discontinued the GPS-01, I am looking for a way to build my own. I would like to use my D series receivers with the FSH-01 sensor hub, and GPS.

I cannot understand why FrSky would continue to make the FSH-01, but discontinue the GPS-01. This makes no sense to me, but I digress...

Can anyone help me out? Do I even need OpenXSensor if I plan to use the FSH-01? Or can I just wire something like this:

or this:

into the FSH-01?


Thanks for any insight you can provide.

You can plug any GPS receiver into the hub as long as it puts out the correct baudrate, don't remember which it is.
There's actually a simple mod that allows you to connect the newer smart port version: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/attachme ... id=6362091
