EDIT: Solved by Windluv, do not slide the switch, double tap the "On" button. See lucky post #13 below.
Hi all, I do not know if there was this issue on either of my two H's before I swapped their GPS modules because I didn't try it. After swapping their GPS modules in an attempt to address a different issue with a single one, neither of them can disable GPS with the slider switch in the APK so I can fly atti. Swapping the modules back did nothing either. The video below will show what both H's are doing when it comes to sliding that switch, spoiler, it does absolutely nothing. The GPS lock remains and of course max speed is limited by the GPS lock.
Proper rebinding, calibrations and setup were all done correctly according to the updated video from the UK guy. Those processes have always gone well up to a point.
I called Yuneec early last week and was impressed how fast they returned the call and were willing to listen and advise, but the CS rep never heard of my issue, he consulted a tech while I was on hold about installing a new GPS module and that I needed to update the firmware to get her all working right and collecting new GPS info and this would solve the new issue of not being able to disengage GPS.
Well, it didn't and it seems the majority of the tries simply weren't updating since I had the latest already loaded. So I did the 1.28 autopilot dead bird recovery technique to make sure that an autopilot firmware update would take. That procedure went perfectly, had 1.28 flashed, and with Steve's assistance, had a 3.04_A to flash to the bird. This again went well.
Does anyone know why I can't slide my GPS switch off and have GPS lock disable? I reflashed st16 firmware also.
I have searched the bejesus out of the internets and I only found one comment to this here (post #253), but this user has not chimed into a conversation I opened with him for some insight as to what came of his issue.
Thank you. If I can figure out and fix this GPS lock even when it's switched off issue, my two H's should be good as new.
