Hi -
Recently just bought a brand new Phantom. Read all the instructions and assembled it. Took it out to a large open field where no electrical interference is possible. Powered on the transmitter, then Phantom. Went through it's initial light up phase and ended with 4 green flashes. Then LED showed yellow and red. I then calibrated the compass how your suppose to.
I got my Phantom off the ground easily but it seemed to drift to the right. I compensated for it and flew it okay. However, each time I stopped and wanted to go to a hover, it would then drift right again.
I doubled checked the transmitter and it was indeed set to "GPS." The only LED lights I was seeing while flying was a flashing green and an occasional red which is okay.
Thinking it might be a calibration issue, I went on Youtube and saw DJI's video about calibrating the IMU. I followed the directions, opened the naza assistant software and my gyro MOD was set fluctuating between 2.8-3! YIKES! I did the advanced calibration process and let it do it's thing. After calibration the MOD said 0.00. Excellent I thought!
Took my phantom back out to the same field and it still drifts and does not hover. I tried multiple attempts to have it just hover near me. It would for a second and then ever so slightly start drifting away. Anything but accurate positioning.
Any thoughts? Someone said I might have to calibrate the transmitter.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff
