      We are seeing some oddness when it comes to running Ardupilot on the Starling 2 Max.

      We are unable to get really any GPS satellites, and the driver seems to be acting a bit weird.

      1. We are able to get this working fine on PX4 - we run this pretty consistently. So, doesn't point to wiring

      2. We tried Arducopter 4.6.3, 4.7, and 4.8 - we had the best luck on 4.7. But, even on that version weird things happen - like GPS_RAW_INT showing up with a lat and lon, but showing no visible satellite: 7b14326a-10f0-4b31-a47d-4e9253551acc-image.png

      3. when indoors, only v_acc is updating...which feels odd: https://www.loom.com/share/3379c1aafcd74c95aa65e7f3af09a488

      Any thoughts / ideas on where to look would be super. Thanks!

        I did the following and was able to get it

        1. installed arducopter 4.7
        2. disabled serial2_option for mavlink forward
        3. configured compass
        4. configured acceleromter
        5. turned off GPS_AUTO_CONFIG
        6. set SERIAL3_BAUD to 115200
