Good-day all,
This might be a long post so bear with me.
the last few days have been somewhat frustrating to say the least.
2 days ago I went to the field and attempted to go flying.
After activating the st16 and then the H I was met with frantic blue flashing led and crazy beeping!!!
WTF said he to himself and aloud.
After an hour and a half of trying to correct the issue I gave up and went home.
That pm and evening after much research I deleted the model and created a new one and eventually got a bind.
I say eventually as it took several delete/create new models and numerous attempts to get the fast orange flashing to enable binding.
So....this morning I again went to the field and attempted to fly.
Nooooo.....Acquiring, acquiring etc etc. VERY occasionally I would get a green ready which would drop out after about 1 second.
After a hour I gave up.
I did have up to 18 sats on the st16 and up to 15 showing on the bird, voltage and little else.
Turning off gps would not allow the motors to spin.
I am now at home, indoors and have 16 sats on the st16 and 14 on the bird voltage and a weird altitude figure.
I have the bird connected to the GUI and have the following info
Sensors are green across the board.
Engine test is ok
Accellerometer x 1-4 up & down, y 18-20 up & down, magnitude 900 variable
Gyro x 13-16, y 0-2, z 12-13
Orientation roll -.2, pitch 2.7, yaw 15-16
Compass x 160 variable, y 18-21, z -500 variable
Pressure 999.76, temp 54.52 ???, height -.75
GPS screen is showing me 13 green, 3 orange all fluctuating and shows 35/36 used in calculation
Lat and long show correct information
Here's a cracker, altitude shows 195400 and fluctuating up and down
HDOP .67
Velocity x 2.0, y 0, z 0
In the time it has taken me to write this the bird has achieved a ready signal about 3 times and lost it immediately.
It has apparently also gone from 3m altitude to 6m altitude while sitting here on the desk.???
If anyone has managed to get through all of this and has any ideas to help alleviate my frustration I would be a happy camper and extremely grateful
Anticipating many useful and not so useful responses to my woes
Regards all
Pete
