I’m using a Pixhawk Orange and Here3 CAN GPS. I followed the setup instructions for the Here3. The strange part is that the Here3 is not detected by the Pixhawk, unless I plug it in after the Pixhawk has booted up.
If I plug it in after powering up the Pixhawk, I quickly get a really good GPS lock and I am able to complete compass calibration and see the external compass source. If I power up the Pixhawk with the Here3 already plugged in, I get a primary compass not found error and no GPS lock. I can then unplug and replug the Here3, while keeping the Pixhawk powered, and everything works as normal.
Some additional details:
- I have noticed that when the GPS is plugged in before power up, the blue LEDs flash a few times and turn off, before flashing a few times and turning off permanently. If I plug it in after the Pixhawk has powered up, it only flashes once.
- I have tried powering the Pixhawk via battery, USB, and a combination of both at the same time.
- Plugging the same GPS into an Arducopter flashed Cube Black works first time, every time.

Any ideas on how to diagnose/fix this?
