Searching for Waypoint Direction

[gstennes]

Anyone using Ground Station with Phantom Vision encountering something similiar? As can be seen in the video the phantom arrives at a waypoint then rotates in the direction of the next waypoint, then rotates back again like it is having a problem finding the next waypoint. It does find the waypoint and then heads off in the correct direction. This does not happen all the time, but on this 4 waypoint flight it happened twice. I have updated to 3.06, but had the same issue under 3.04. Proper compass calibration was performed as well as a full calibration on the IMU. Any thoughts what is causing this and if it something I need to worry about? I had a very bad crash several months ago, changed the shell - nothing appeared to be wrong with any of the components inside and other than this issue with the waypoints it flys perfectly - even more stable with update 3.06 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snWTxBK1Nmw

If using the Datalink there is an option to choose heading for each waypoint with the default being 360. I am starting to use this option (900Mhz PC version for me) and need to do more controlled flights to offer any repeatable results. Not sure that option exists with the App.

I don't see any option in the app like you mention in the Datalink. It's a mystery!

I've had it happen a couple of times and it's when satellite count flucuates between 5 - 7.

Hi EMCSQUAR - on the left side of the Flytrex data shown on the video you can see that the GPS is locked onto 10 satellites - I thought it might have been a GPS issue as well, but with that many satellites connected I don't think this is the issue.
