Typhoon H GPS problems not connecting just keeps saying acquiring but never connects and says ready like my other one does

[Magnum1000]

Hello all,
I have 2 Yuneec Typhoon H's and I am having GPS issues with one of them. Will not connect, just keep saying acquiring, and never gives me the ready indication. Does anyone have any suggestions? The one I was flying just last night, had an accident and the green lighted motor blade shattered damaging the carbon fiber tube arm and the plastic part that it slides into. Where do you get parts for these drones?

For the acquring issue take a look at this thread Typhoon H IMU related problems

@h-elsner is one of our gurus and has good information on this subject.

Since your good aircraft is down with mechanical problems you could try swapping the F/C module from it to the one with GPS Acquiring issues to see if that cures the problem in that aircraft.

The flight control module would you happen to know where that would be I haven't actually taken anything but the top cap with the GPS attached to it off of the Drone I don't have a schematic of the typhoon H either but I'm sure I could probably watch a video or something if you have any info like that that you could spare that would be awesome

Before you start working on the hardware, make a precise diagnosis.
You can download a new version of the Typhoon H GUI (H480GUI) here: Downloads

If you connect the drone to PC and start this tool you can see more what happened.
IMU problems will be indicated on Sensor page. It will look like this:


You can also check GPS status and GPS backup battery condition:
