Trying to get my Ublox 7 cheap GPS to work with full NAZE32 in cleanflight and fail.

I got this GPS antenna http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Super-Mini-Ublox-7-NZ-GPS-for-NAZE32-Flip32-6dof-10dof-Naze-QAV250-ZMR250-/252236002112?hash=item3aba6ff340:g:MOwAAOSw~bFWOHVs
I try to turn ON in cleanflight and follow all tutorials with no luck  :(
Anyone did that and manage to get GPS working on (this example) on naze32 ?
Thanks for any tips and advice.

Everytime I'm trying to setup UBlox on cleanflight and save reboot it goes back to NMEA ??

I use a UBLOX7 but it's a full size one.
Stupid question...... Have you configured the 'port scenario' first? If you don't do it first, it always defaults to NMEA.
Also, make sure you have the battery plugged in before you plug the USB in because the Naze doesn't power the GPS and it won't be detected.

I've got one of those on order from China now so I'll let you know how I get on, I've managed to get a number of other GPS's working with my Naze so I'm hopeful. Have you done the GPS config with u-centre?

Everytime I save and NAZE reboot setting goes back to NMEA from UBLOX.
I try all baudrates possible.

Your settings are correct but it's one of 2 things......
You've either got the RX and TX backwards or you're not powering the quad with your battery before you plug the USB in and connect with Cleanflight. If you don't power the quad, Cleanflight won't see the GPS.

wooho got it to work, but only when I really swap RX TX wires and flash NAZE32 with naze software instead of latest borisb i was able to save UBLOX settings.

Good good..... I know that feeling when it finally works  ;D

Betaflight does not support GPS on NAZE targets. Too less memory.

But you could try INav, a fork of Cleanflight. Its written for the navigation modes. Works perfect.
