    No longer a proper GPS lock

    I also wish to upload a photo with an inside view of the Tx, but it wont let me. I'll try later to see if it works.

    No longer a proper GPS lock

    Yes, bluetooth is needed. This is my set-up: Phantom v1.2 (without the DJI tx) Turnigy 9X tx running er9X FrSky DJT + D8R-II Bluetooth HC-05 RS232 (Ebay $20) FrSky Voltage meter I've taken away the original antenna from the tx as the DJT has its own, installed the bluetooth unit inside the tx...

    No longer a proper GPS lock

    Wow, that was it!!! I had installed the cables for the voltmeter so they actually touched both the GPS cable and the compass cable, not very clever I can say now when I've learnt something new. So I rerouted the wires away from all this, twisted the GPS and compass wires, connected the battery...

    No longer a proper GPS lock

    Thanks for these tips, I will follow them up. As I haven't been flying for a while (I've been away from home) I just realised that I haven't flown since I installed a FrSky voltmeter so I can get the current voltage reading to my mobile while flying (using app FrSky Dashboard). Reading about...

    1. Yes, I replaced the foam 2. Yes, I'm on the same place outside from where I've flown several times before with no GPS problems. The mobile phone gets a fix within 5 secs, but of course it has assisted GPS. It's shame that A-GPS is not used in the Phantom. The marks on your unit look odd...

    No longer a proper GPS lock

    Up until recently I haven't had any problems with the GPS but then suddenly I could no longer get a fix with no red lights. I've had a few minor crashes and reading somewhere else it looked as it could be a cracked GPS unit. So I bought some spare ones from Digi-Key and after changing the...

    Sorry wasn't clear there. If battery is low it won't try to go home. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    Phantom 2 FPV - Setup/System

    Sounds like the battery was low so it triggered a landing instead. If true this can be adjusted over USB. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

    What's a V-SEN?

    Beginner's question: what is a V-SEN? I've seen it on pictures including how to connect it but what is it used for? :?:

    IOC Home Lock not working

    I've now had a chance to test out Home Lock mode and yes, it seems to be working. Without it I would never had been able to do like this: http://youtu.be/ZWoD7AU31ZE (youtu.be is correct even if it looks odd, that's the link youtube gave me during the upload.) I think both HL and CL mode...

    IOC Home Lock not working

    Thanks. Yes I'm aware of this. That's how I programmed the Tx. I've actually now changed the setup to support all 3 options, HL, CL, and OFF using two 2-way switches, which seems to work fine on the IOC setup screen. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
