My obsession, with connectivity started, a horrible Build/FW 777 and came up, my simple mod. Foiltastic
For sometime now, I have bought modules on Amazon, but ended up returning all of them. I have flown (hover) my TH Plus, where I taped my compass on the outer shell of the sUAS, and on the bench, when the compass is moved away from its current location, connectivity is gain. I strongly believe that by relocating the compass it helps gain connectivity by 30 seconds or less, instead of and minute and an excruciating seconds of waiting, with the original compass setup.
I finally found my module; I bought two of the Yuneec Typhoon H GPS Tower Adapter to test out 2 configurations. I removed the legs for my first configuration, so to keep things simple.
Here is what the module looks like.
The mod:
I don't want to send time explaining the mod. But there is my bench test. Note* I am on build/fw 784
Inside my office the TH Plus prior to mod. 0 (zero-red) Satellite and 2 (two-red) GPS.
By relocating the compass, I now have 1 (one-red) Satellite and 4 (four-red) GPS.
Outside my office, prior to mod. 5 (five - red) Satellite and 8 (eight-green) GPS. Time to acquire sat/gps connectivity is 01:55.
By relocating the compass, I now have 9 -12 (it varies) Satellites strength and 10 or 18 (it varies) GPS strength. Time to acquire sat/gps connectivity is 00:38
This is very promising, video flight report soon.
