    Abandoning TK102 - Ordered Spot Trace

    Like a lot of P2V new-er pilots, I worry about making a stupid mistake and inadvertently sending my quad copter off on a flight to parts unknown. So, after reading lots of comments here, I decided to buy a GPS tracker to install, and I ordered the first of what would turn out to be three of the...

    Range Extender Battery percent on new android app?

    My apologies if this is a duplicate -- I searched but didn't find this topic. I was under the impression that with the new app and firmware updates, the P2v would now (like the plus) have the range extender battery percentage displayed on the (in my case) Samsung S4 I am using as my fpv. When I...

    TK 102b Won't turn off (on?)

    or... It stopped working again yesterday (steady green), and I played with making sure the card was properly seated, pins extended, etc., and no joy. Picked it up this morning, and, of course, was working again with a blinking green. Bizarre.

    TK 102b Won't turn off (on?)

    Well, I think I may have figured it out, thanks to the help above. I believe I was not fully locking the SIM card in place. When I did, I got the blinking green light again. However, when I tried to call or text, it failed. A trip to the ATT store educated me to the fact that, while my plan was...

    TK 102b Won't turn off (on?)

    I have that app, but I can't get the green light to turn off, which the manual says it should after about 40 seconds, then blink once every 4 seconds. For several days, it did just that, and worked. Now, when I put the battery in, the light stays on, and the unit will not respond to any command...

    TK 102b Won't turn off (on?)

    Unfortunately, I can't get any commands to it. With the battery in, the light is on constantly, and it does not reply to calls or texts. With the battery out, of course, it's just dead. Very frustrating, as it worked great for a few days. I've checked all the pins and connections, and they all...

    TK 102b Won't turn off (on?)

    I purchased a TK 102b gps tracker (after throwing away $25 on a lesser device) and it seemed to work great for about a week in testing. I still haven't flown it. However, now when I put the battery in, the green light just stays on forever (instead of turning off after 40 seconds of syncing...

    TK102B GPS / GSM Tracker - Compatible sims - UK

    Got my TK 102b much sooner than expected, and so far it is working much better than the first one I got. Yesterday, i would call the unit and it sent a google maps location. Today, however, it is only sending a link to a non-functional web site. I tried the smslink command, but get password err...

    Have tracker, now need sim card and service, suggestions?

    Re: Have tracker, now need sim card and service, suggestions I did not. It was very difficult to work with and came with terrible instructions. I even contacted the seller, who contacted the manufacturer, but still lousy product. On the recommendation of another poster here, I bought the TK...

    BE AWARE - No Wi-Fi connection with 3.04

    I updated the software (had to, needed to do an IMU cal), and had a successful connection. Then, after cycling power, I could not find the Phantomxxxx network at all, on either my android phone or my Ipad (running the iphone app). Cycled power on everything, no joy. Charged the extender...

    IMU Cal question from relatively new guy

    Thanks very much for the advice. I did have one TBE crash several weeks ago, but have flown happily since then. I do a cal dance before every flight, and did so at the astronomy site. I had one flight that was fine, and only had the IMU error warning on my phone after that flight. I tried twice...

    IMU Cal question from relatively new guy

    Last week I took my P2V to our astronomy club's annual star party, a week out in the country camping and using telescopes. I had hoped to shoot lots of cool video flying over the field full of scopes (not over people, very carefully). I got one flight in, and when I tried again I found I had a...

    Have tracker, now need sim card and service, suggestions?

    Re: Have tracker, now need sim card and service, suggestions well, mine (GEEKDIGG Mini Multi-Functional GSM Tracker ) seems to talk to me, but when it gives me a location, it's in this link format, which my computer won't open for some reason: http://www.gps588.com/lbs/?mcc=310&mnc= ...

    Have tracker, now need sim card and service, suggestions?

    Re: Have tracker, now need sim card and service, suggestions I checked with T-Mobile and ATT. T-Mobile wanted $10 for the sim card, and $10 for 100 texts per month. ATT gave me a sim card for free, and $5/month for 200 texts. So, I went with ATT. Now, I'm trying to make it work. I've sent a...
