LED (GPS) issue - Typhoon H

[Aussiejay]

I have an issue with the GPS on my Typhoon H or at least I think it's with the GPS

The H is in an open space, I have GPS lock in both Smart and Angle modes for a short time. I have steady green or purple. The H shows 13/14 satillites and the controller 11. While still in the same position, on the ground, this changes to 3 flashes both green and purple - GPS lock lost. After a short time the indicator light starts flashing 1 green, 1 white or 1 purple, 1 white depending on the mode selected. I don't see any mention of the latter flashing sequence on the Q card.

While these light changes are taking place the H remains in the same position - on the ground.

I contacted Yuneec 2 or 3 days ago but no response yet.

Any suggestions please?

The card is out of date.
Solid purple,white flash, solid purple
Both the H and the ST-16 have a GPS location fix.
In SMART mode the light will be green with a white flash.
If the ST-16 looses GPS lock, the tail light will stop flashing white.

Thanks Bob.

That's exactly what I am experiencing. I wasn't prepared to get my feet off the ground.

It would be great, like the product seems to be, if they would at least try to keep us informed. As a metter of interest where did you get the information from?

Thanks again

I have an H.
That is how they have performed since release. I do not think the color chart was correct from the first release.

In the user manual, v 1.1, look on page 22. There is a notice under the LED Status that says, "NOTICE: White blink between solid flight mode indicates enough satellites for Watch Me/Follow Me."

So when you have either a solid green, or solid purple LED lights, it means you have GPS Lock. So if you are seeing green or purple with a blink of white, you are OK to fly. Also, Green means you are in Smart Mode and Purple means your are in Angle Mode. I can't remember for sure, but I think you need at least 12 satellites to get that white blink LED. Ok, i just fired up my T-H and it acquired 12 satellites to get a solid purple and white blinking LED.

Very good. I believe the White flash indicates that you have 10 (or more) Sats on the ST16. Next time any of you fire up, watch that. It may take a while, you'll have the solid purple, in Angle. Then after the ST16 (on right side of screen) hits 10 Sats, the White flash will start.

Same with mine.

Thank everyone.
I've only had the H a couple of weeks so was a little concerned. It's all cleared up now. Flew yesterday and it was all okay. What a great little machine.
