    @kp-ng Okay, thanks for that. Looks pretty much like the standard setup for GPS / Mag / LED. Is the magnetometer working correctly? And the LED on the top of the unit?

    @Eric-Katzfey Yes. The magnetometer is working correctly. QGC display indicator suggests so.
    The LED also blinking GPS lock

      I get an error message
      "[muorb] SLPI: UBX CFG-GNSS message ACK failed".

        @kp-ng That's interesting. That indicates that the driver was able to successfully send a few configuration messages to the GPS unit and receive valid acknowledgements in return. Does it always print that exact same message or is it sometimes different? My guess is that the cable or connector has a defect of some sort and that makes the serial communication link over the UART unreliable. That same cable has the i2c bus used for the LED and magnetometer drivers and that appears to be working okay. Can you jiggle the cable or try to press it in with your hand while starting px4 and see if that changes the behavior? Regardless, it seems like we will need to send you a replacement GPS (Hoping, of course, that it is a problem with the GPS unit and not the connector).

          @Eric-Katzfey I would also try Vinnies suggestion and spread all of the components out just to make sure that there isn't some interference that is causing the errors on the serial lines.

              @kp-ng That is not a full listing of all of the output. And what about the error message you had posted previously. I asked if you saw the same error every time. Do you? Or does it change to different ones? Did you do the other things suggested?

                Hi Eric.
                Yes the same error messages occur each time.
                Have tried pressing on the connector as well. Doesn't help.
                Have spaced the power supply, wifi, gps antenna apart also.

                Below are the logs

                  Hi Eric.
                  Yes the same error messages occur each time.
                  Have tried pressing on the connector as well. Doesn't help.
                  Have spaced the power supply, wifi, gps antenna apart also.

                  Below are the logs

                  @kp-ng Okay, we have never encountered this situation before. My best guess is that the GPS unit, or cable, is somehow flawed and so we will send you a new one.

                      Hi @kp-ng
                      Eric has you covered with all SW.
                      A small tip: From what I see in your picture, please understand that if you have WiFi and GPS antennas next to that very large power supply and no space between them, your radio link performance will be terrible.
                      There is a good chance you will not pick up any satellites, and your WiFi link will disconnect often.
                      For optimal performance, try to mimic the spatial separation that you would expect to see on one of our drone platforms.
                      Thanks!

                      ^Can you provide an example what the ideal routing for wifi antennae would be on the sentinel drone platform (specifically with the microhard modem carrier add-on)? I came across this post while trying to troubleshoot my own issues and realized that the way I have the antennae routed coming out the back of the flight deck puts one of them right next to the gps module because of how the modem is oriented.
