  • Hi, Whats the difference between 3DR Iris and Iris Plus? 

    Thx

  • Hey Dale, 

    Would you mind posting a quick note with how you managed to fix it or what was wrong that was preventing the GPS from locking?

    Would be great for others who might have the same problem (such as myself and others who might come after) 

    Thanks. :)

    • Hey Ana Miarnau

      I'm using Turnigy 9X Tr and Tx.

      Got throttle failsafe to work with these #s Tx on 982, FS 915. Tx off 900, FS 915.

      Had to Disable Fence to get motor arm. Steel no gps lock. Can't get help on what needs to be dun on the gps

      lock. I wont fly until I get a gps lock. Some say to set the HDOP to 250 to get a gps lock.

      I don't know what the HDOP is in Mission Planer, so have not tried it. 

      Sorry I cant be more help.

      • Thank you very much, will try that then! 

  • Your throttle failsafe is set too high, check your RC calibration. This is a prearm check. If you're trying to take off in a GPS assisted mode, then you will need a GPS fix for takeoff. If you're taking off in stabilize or another non-GPS mode, then the GPS fix won't be relevant.

    • Hi Mike

      Thanks for responding.

      Mod is Stabilize.

      Tx on APM plugged in to computer. Looking at Initial Setup > failSafe. Radio 3 (THR) is 982, FS is 995

      Tx off Radio 3 is 900, FS is 995

      What do you think my settings should be if the Throttle cant go down lower then 982

      Can not get a GPS Fix. I have a QRX350 it gets GPS Fix at the same lowcation.

      Tx Throttle would not go any lower then 982. Had to increase the FS to get the minimum 10 difference.

      Have been using the Arducopter site but stell dont get it.

      I appreciate any help you can give.

      Thanks

      Dale

      • If you go to the links I posted in my first reply, all of your questions will be answered. That is the official wiki for ArduCopter, and that should get you on the right track.

        • I have been using the ArduCoper website. Some things work for me and some just confuse me.

          Are the #'s that I posted for Radio 3 and FS good ?

          Thanks again

          Dale

          • When your radio is ON, you want your minimum throttle value (Ch3) to be above the FS value. When the radio is OFF, you want the throttle (ch3) to drop below the FS value. Currently, your radio is set up so that when on, it is already below the FS value (995) compared to your minimum throttle (982). Simply set the failsafe value to ~970 and see what happens.

            • I finally got it to ARM.
