the whole issue if if the apm has detected the gps or not. note the blue led on the apm, not the gps.

hi michael,

could that issue be linked or related to the gps issue?

http://www.diydrones.com/forum/topics/loiter-mode-holding-nothing-a...

also, i ve installed the optical flow, that works like a charm on the cli.

the thing is, i ve put it on the side of the quadcopter, so i was wondering if there is a way , an orientation to install it, or could it be installed in any position (as long as the lense shoot the ground) ?

in what mode exactly is it used? alt mode? loiter mode or all mode?

thx to reply, i am getting despaired with this issue.

best regards

herve
