gps

Hey there, this is my first time on this thread, and I rarely ever use forums, but I have a question about solo that their website doesnt seem to answer, and maybe you good people could! Okay, 3dr says that if solo goes out of range, it uses the gps to return home. And, it also says that if the...

anyone here has the experience mounting gps module bestar bn-880? Its M8N gps. Is it good? Will it make my solo better than the stock gps in term of gps lock?

So if anyone here has experience buying from www.readytoflyquads.com ? i live in indonesia. its quite far from florida (about 24 hours flight), will they shipping to my country? i want to buy MINI UBLOX M8N GPS GLONASS W/ (35X35MM) MOUNTING BACKPLANE AND COMPASS V2. or there is other website...

I’m sure this topic has been well covered in this forum, but in spite of all my search efforts, I can’t seem to find a definitive answer. I just got a Solo with 3-axis gimbal for Christmas, which is working great with my iPhone 6 Plus and my GoPro Hero 4. However, I think I would be happier...

What if I want to fly without GPS lock? My device no longer, regardless of number of satellites, will lock on GPS. How do I take off and fly without it?

Hobbypower Ublox NEO-M8N GPS Module with Compass + GPS Folding Antenna Mount Holder for APM2.8 APM 2.6 Pixhawk PX4 Flight Controller This is the one I am talking about, Any info on the performance of the GPS mod with the mast so antenna is outside the Solo's body and above the electronics. Also...

If you have a good GPS lock at the point of take off, the auto pilot will store that point as the RTH location. What happens if the GPS lock it lost during the flight and then regained?? Is the original home point overwritten and replaced with the point where the GPS signal is regained?? If...

Hey all, I have been reading up on Solo's accessory bay, and Swift Nav's Piksi. From what I read here, it sounds like the accessory bay JAE SJ038252 connector can interface over CAN (UAVCAN) and USB. solodevguide/hardware-accessorybay.md at master · 3drobotics/solodevguide · GitHub From...

I was flying my Solo in a giant open field. It is actually a private airstrip and I had received owner permission. When the quad was about 100-150 feet away at an altitude of 50 feet I lost the link. She did just what she should have. She climbed to 100 feet and returned home. During the...

Today I was working with cable cam. I had solo about 8 ft off the ground for point A, and took it up to 187 ft for point B. I did a couple tests with it running autonomously, the seemed to be fine, a little off course but as to be expected in light wind and GPS Acuracy and what not. Once I...

It's really useful to photograph walls and columns at Egyptian temples in a fairly dense grid; we've built a custom 12m pole that allows us to do that, as seen in this picture: http://www.insightdigital.org/entry/images/ramesseum/ram6.jpg My question is whether a 3DR drone such as the Solo can...

I went flying with a friend of mine who has a P3. I was proud of most every attribute of my Solo (flying manually in the Solo App) until he opened an app on his iPhone and was able to show a Google Map sat view with an overlay of the flight path he just flew on his P3. It played in real-time or...

I had my first incident with Solo yesterday. It started with a casual flight. Preflight went well and had GPS lock in <1min like usual. As I ended my flight I decided to use the RTH function. Solo was about 8 ft AGL whe it started to rapidly fly towards a tree trunk. I quickly hit pause then...

I fly B-Roll for a variety of production firms. Are there special considerations/settings for flying the solo in an environment where you may be covered from GPS signal. I've had a UAV launch into failsafe before when shooting in an alley which wasn't great. I'd appreciate any help.

Hey all, I'm new to the whole gps discussion and drones. I'm curious though from what I've read, (and please by all means correct and or update me at anytime) it appears that 3dr chose the gps unit in use because it would lock onto only visable US gps satellites, and provide a more...

UAV pilots, The FAA has issued a Flight Advisory for potential GPS Interference mainly located in Southern California but affects several states. Be prepared to uses a manual flight mode if Solo reverts to Fly:Manual. Here is the advisory...

Was on Prince Edward Island (Eastern Canada) on the weekend. We tried to use the solo drone in open areas three different times in three different locations on the Island and found either '0' GPS satellites or in one case '6'. We never had enough to allow take off. Huge disappointment...

I was looking at getting the: Samsung - Galaxy Tab A - 9.7" - 16GB - With Pen - Smoky Titanium Model: SM-P550NZAAXAR SKU: 6192105 from BestBuy. Price point is nice, also has a stylus pen which is a plus. I was told it does not have embedded GPS, but when going online it says GPS with GLONASS...

Having read the threads about upgrading the Solo's GPS to the M8N mini, I ordered one from RTFQ. I'm pretty confident its installed correctly as in the video, but Solo just beeps its unhappy with GPS. The chip is supposed to be ready to go but doesn't seem to be responding correctly. I...

Anybody have any tips on resolving a complete lack of satellites? Even after power cycling several times and waiting 10 minutes in between, I get no satellites. I can manually fly my SOLO without GPS, but I don't get any birds at all. I've checked the connector, foil tape, and tried the...
