Anyone using the Futaba SBS-01G GPS Sensor

[Quinton]

Installed it yesterday but only getting data for altitude, none of the others.
There is also a flashing green light that means no GPS data.
Anyone using this sensor successfully?
I have it plugged into sbus-2 OK

No One at all using Futaba and telemetry sensors?

Contacted Futaba to see if they could help...don't you just love replies you get from the retailers, now why didn't I think of taking it outside to check for GPS.... (I'm may not be the smartest, but I'm not that stupid)

Thank you for your recent e-mail.

We recommend taking it outside to check it out. Once you turn it on do not move the sensor until it has detected the satellite.

Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at this email address. (Please be sure to copy all previous emails into any future questions.)

I'm using it on my airplane and it works fine.

It was a bit unusual setting it up the first time though. Assign it to a slot and it occupies multiple slots after that slot, each one captures a function like altitude, speed, etc.

I don't have it with me but make sure all those parameters shows up in your GPS configuration slots, not just altitude.

Oh and make sure it's a FASSTest port you are connecting to.

Thaks for the reply.
Yeah I assigned it to slot 8 and it took up 8-15 like it was supposed to.
Its going back this week.
Had this 2nd really helpful email from futaba .....

Thank you for your recent e-mail.

It could be a bad sensor. Where was It purchased from?
