To use the sensor the system must be configured to receive the sended data correctly. Because we use a Linux system the configuration for such a system is explained. The used Baudrate of GPS sensor is 4800. The receiver transmits no parity bit. The number of bits transmitted by the receiver is 8 followed by 1 stop bit. The system must be configured to receive correct data. The default settings of a Linux system are receiving no parity bit, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. In the most cases you only have to set the Baudrate to 4800.

BU-353 GPS receiver

Our goal is to adapt the USGlobalsat BU-353 GPS receiver to work with the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0. In this part some general specifications of the sensor are given.
Costs about 47€ on Amazon.

Configuration

To use the sensor the system must be configured to receive the sended data correctly.
Standard serial setting: 8 data bits, no parity bit, 1 stop bit, 4800 baud

Data transmitted by GPS

The receiver is cpable of the NMEA 0183 and SiRF protocoll.
The types the receiver is able to handle are: GGA, GSA, GSV, RMC, VTG and GLL. The last two datatypes are optional.
