GPS problems - hardware or software ?

I had some unexpected "let's fly to Timbuktu" events with 3.01 so I upgraded to 3.1rc2 to see whether GPS glitch prevention would make a difference

Did all the calibrations and compassmot, all results looking good.

Having tested all modes (all fine) I let it fly a very simply 4 waypoints mission (log attached). En route from 2 to 3 it apparently fell out of AUTO mode, turned left 90 degrees and went its own way. I managed to catch it and land without a problem in Stabilize mode. If I read the log correct my satcount dropped to 7 (from 12) for a few seconds - this however should still be a solid 3D fix ? So why drop out of AUTO mode ?

Just to make sure I rebooted and flew the exact same mission again immediately (second log attached). This time no problem at all

Really not sure what my problem is here

  • I don't believe 3.1rc2 contains yet GPS glitch prevention, see release notes.

    It contains a GPS condition for arming, but I don't believe is related to glitch.

    Maybe will be on next release.
