2:13 that's funny, the only quad I ever lost used this Matek GPS, home arrow took me in a wrong direction and battery ran out and the final coordinates my goggles and radio were showing after it crashed were a good 20 km off 😅 Since then I only fly long range along visually distinct lines/curves/points that I can trace by foot. Sure I still use GPS, but rescue mode is off and so is the arrow, I only use coordinates, speed and elevation. I verify coordinates before every takeoff using my phone to make sure they are correct too. Anyway a good person found my quad 5 months later and was able to track me down using the GoPro footage ❤️ and after cleaning up a bunch of corrosion (motors were the hardest), everything works now for 7-8 months. Moral of the story is don't trust technology 100% and always have a backup plan 🙂
Hi Filip, well you know how it goes, maybe it was just bad luck :-) I am glad the drone was returned to you, that must have hit you with surprise. As for your conclusions, you are absolutely right - that's why it's important to record the flight footage of the flight, mark important waypoints, try to get to know the area that you fly in using google maps and use a self powered buzzer with a built in LED. Happy flying!
Just had a thought.......it would be great if betaflight was able to detect the bitrate of the dji system so that for example if the bit rate hits 0 mbps for more than a pre set time then the gps failsafe would kick in. So a failsafe for Rx loss and also video loss!
Excellent video.... I want to install a GPS in my DIATONE Roma F4/6S MAMBA AIO F411 35A 20 mm., but in the diagram, the F/C doesn't have a place where to connect the GPS.... please help. Thank you.
thank you for the informative video. if you wish GPS rescue to kick in when you loose receiver connection or by flipping an aux switch when you loose video, do you need at all to change the "Failsafe Switch Action" configuration to stage 2? or that drop down list with stage 1, 2 or kill is for a specific switch you would setup? thanks again
My pleasure. You can either set up an AUX channel that will trigger the GPS rescue mode or the failsafe option (And then set the failsafe to GPS rescue).

Hello Gal, I have a question regarding BN-220 module. I have install it into my Nazgul5v2 (SucceX-E F4 V2.1 S009636) via cable with 2 plugs on both sides. Plug socket in my FC has got 5V and unfortunately GPS is power up only with Lipo attached. If I will change it to 3,3V pad will it be possible to power up this GPS module via USB? Thank you in advance.
I have a question, i want to add gps to my protek35, but the only free 5V out and ground is on the vtx. Should i use that, or can i connect two things to one uart?
In channel fallback settings your aux4 {gps recuse] what will happen during flight if you left it on HOLD instead of 1500? I also watched so many other videos with people leave on HOLD and it still RTH when switch is activated. Also you set 50m altitude... so if your quad is say at 50m already when failsafe kicked in will it go to 100m alt? When you said your height on this video I couldn't hear if you said 15 or 50. Thanks in advance.
You can leave it on "Hold". These fallback settings are only going to be used for a few milliseconds (I think that I went over it in the video). The 50m value is not relative - so the drone will rise (or descent) to that height when starting to head back home.
Beware of the DVR unit, it interferes a lot with the gps. I have had a lot of problems with the Chimera 4 and a tarsier caddx, change the gps of the site and avoid that the cables of the GPS and RX pass near the DVR. Now I fly smoothly with 15 satellites OK.
I had it set to the 119200 setting and it didn’t work at all, so I googled the manual of the FC and it said the GPS setting should be 9600. I’ll try 57600 and see if it works. The GPS is a BN-880 with compass, but I only have the gps portion wired up to the FC. I tested returned to home once and it worked so I know it’s all hooked up properly, it’s just the waiting. I don’t have the on board DVR, it’s just a Vista and I’m using the DJI controller.
@@DivergentDrones Alex is correct, normally other electronics such Action cameras, DVR and similar can create interference. If you connect only the GPS without the Vista, do you get a quicker fix?
