## Configuration

Setup and use on PX4 is largely plug and play.

::: info

- If the GPS is _not detected_ then [update the Here2 firmware](https://docs.cubepilot.org/user-guides/here-2/updating-here-2-firmware).
- If the GPS is detected but does not work, attempt the process outlined in [allocating node uavcan ID](https://docs.cubepilot.org/user-guides/here-2/here-2-can-mode-instruction).

## Wiring and Connections

The Here2 GPS comes with an 8 pin connector that can be inserted directly into the Pixhawk 2 `GPS` UART port.

The Pixhawk 3 Pro and Pixracer have a 6 pin GPS port connector.
For these controllers you can modify the GPS cable (as shown below) to remove pin 6 and 7.

Pin 6 and 7 are for the safety button - these can be attached as well if needed.

### Pinout

The Here2 GPS pinout is provided below. This can be used to help modify the connector for other autopilot boards.
