GPS naming / ordering question - ArduCopter

Thank you for the reply&#;s
Yuri is getting at my potential concern. Just to rehash the objective, I&#;m applying antenna offsets to two (2) CAN GPS (Here3) and these offsets will be different for each Here3 / GPS antenna. This is not for moving base, it&#;s just that these two HERE3&#;s are separated between 30-40 cm from the controller and 60-70 cm from each other and it might be wise to apply antenna offsets in this situation.

Check now

I know very little about CAN protocol, but I&#;m somewhat concerned these antenna offsets could be &#;flipped&#; and applied to the wrong GPS and want to eliminate any concern this could happen. I don&#;t know if this could happen if for some reason the GPS node number assigned to a particular CAN port / HERE3 is variable &#; which might be an issue if nodes are applied on a first come basis? If I&#;m not physically changing out GPS receivers on CAN ports, maybe then the nodes stay relatively fixed?

mide contains other products and information you need, so please check it out.

Currently I have a GPS_CAN_NODEID1 value of 124 assigned to the first discoverable GPS and a GPS_CAN_NODEID2 value of 125 assigned to the second discoverable GPS. If I&#;m interpreting things properly, I could assign GPS1_CAN_OVRIDE to be 124 and GPS2_CAN_OVRIDE to 125 and this would provide fixed node assignments. The assumption I&#;m making (which might be wrong) is that these fixed nodes values are then assigned / fixed to a particular CAN port on the controller and thus a specific HERE3 with a unique set of antenna offsets?

Also, I should have noticed this earlier, but in MP there is a UAVCAN GPS Order dialog. I&#;m uncertain what this is - but seems like it might pertain to this question.
