gps

I originally used the HGLRC GPS unit on my quad. Now that I am trying to use the FT EZ ID GPS, I am showing no GPS in Betaflight version 4.4.3. I have the GPS TX connected to the RX on UART 6 of my SpeedyBee FC. I have found two sets of instructions, one saying to use the MSP protocol and the...

Hey all, I just want to fly around manually with a pretty long range. That means I'll need some indicator for which way "home" is. I don't really want to go through all the hassle of learning/wiring/configuring a flight computer, is there a way to accomplish OSD/GPS for FPV without a FC?

Hello, I am building a quadcopter drone that will at max go around 1.5 miles away from a target. I am planning to use an Omnibus f4 pro and Beitian BN-880 GPS. I am barely starting out so any help would be awesome. I am planning to have an autonomous Waypoint feature to the target. I was...

Hey everyone, I am fairly new to drones & quad copters.. I started flying Mini 3 and 4 channel RC Heli's around my office a couple years ago. The batteries all died and they stopped working. After about a year the itch came back when I saw one of Steel's FPV Acro videos. My first venture...

http://rcdiy.ca/taranis-q-x7-opentx-module-bay-gps-sensor/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjcVjYF8-pk OpenTX allows the use of two GPS sensors. So by adding a GPS to the transmitter’s module bay one can track both the pilot’s and the model’s position. This video and post will be followed by...

Hello friends, today I want to tell you a little of the last quadcopter that has joined the family. It is an AOSENMA CG035, a quad who incorporates a GPS that is possible to connect and disconnect at your whim .. With functions like his biggest competitors .. Follow me mode, automatic return...

Hey guys! New to this forum. I have a question about GPS. I know that multirotors like the Phantom can hover in a set position really accurately through GPS, but according to the Internet, GPS tends to be a few meters off! Of course, this may not be correct, but how do drones like the...

Hi all, I'm not really interested in flying in real time. While I like flying, this is a need based problem. What we need is a drone that can survey the planted fields and do an imaging pass (NDVI) to let us know where we need to direct attention. We have some autonomous ground based vehicles...

This is a build log to share the steps and knowlage by making a GPS / RSSI based antenna tracker with open source and open hardware stuff. Maybe some peoples are interested in building something similar. For a selfish reason I hope this thread can help me to stay motivated and finish this FPV...

Hi. I am new to FPV flying and am looking for a GPS recording device to be able to put on either a small quad or fixed wing and have it record my GPS position throughout the flight. It doesn't need to be connected to the flight controller or affect the flight in any way. I would just like to be...

Help Gps tracking quadcopter (grad project) Hi everyone I am new to these issues so I have few questions about my grad project. Let me describe it for you. we are asked to build an X type quadcopter that tracks a gps signal on a person and follows he/she in front of him/her (like lily drone)...

Hi, I've got a GPS Ublox Neo 6M module and even though I've tried to upload the firmware from ublox website in the mission planner(I'm working with APM 2.6) the program doesn't detect my situation. I've tried my u-center too and it doesn't detect the gps, as it doesn't exist. How can I solve...

Hi guys, At first, I am a befuddled guy from Germany, so my english isnt that great. I want to build the electrohub quadcopter, but i want to configure it with a gps system that i can use something like a failsave, if i activate it, the quadcopter should come back in a adjustable high. And...

Hi! I'm rather new to the forum and I've been looking around since my last mishap with my quadcopter. The quad sustained damage to the receiver and continued to fly, flying away from me into the sunset. I never found it. :( Having learned from this experience, I am looking for a GPS tracker...

Hey, Just a quick note to let you know that my latest flight controller series about the Naze32 is now available on the Painless360 YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYsWjANuAm4p47OBBTOo4Xr3lNUc8PFpc In the video series we have videos that cover initial setup, advanced...

Rumor has it Corn will be planted by the airfield this year. If my plane goes down, I wanna get in and out as soon as possible. Spectrum has a GPS sensor. Rumor has it data is indicated on the receiver. The manual that came with DX6 RX/TX and GPS PDF posted at spektrum has no specifics. I...

I recently ordered the Turnigy T1000FC Auto Pilot System With GPS and Return To Home I installed the unit into the VAS Wraith for testing. As you can see from the video the system works. It is a little nerve wracking letting it do its own thing. The Wraith is not the most ideal plane for the...

Hello I am having trouble getting the GPS to work with this board. Every time I try to connect from the multiwii configuration software it cannot read the com port. However it connects fine without the GPS plugged into the ic2 board. :confused: The red light on the ic2 board is pulsing 3x...

I am relatively new to the hobby and really enjoy it but today really bummed me out. I spent all night last night repairing the first Flitetest swappable I built, the Old Fogey. I built this plane originally about six months ago and have really enjoyed the high wing slow flyer. Today I may...

Finally was able to wire it up last night. Seems to work well. Just used some servo extensions and a balance wire to read battery #2 voltage. Not the smallest unit on the market but the price was right. I used some 45cm servo extension cables. Interesting as the system will not function...
