placement consideration for A/V transmitter

Posted by roger on August 8, 2011 at 12:26am

The IMU contains sensors on the surface. I am right now deciding to put the 5.8Ghz transmitter in between the space occupied by the GPS receiver and the IMU.

 

Question: Will the heat generated by the A/V transmitter affect the performance of the GPS and more importantly the sensors on top of the IMU?

 

Thanks.

    I have a 5.8Ghz VTx as well, and had to move the GPS as far away as possible from the VTx to pick up the satellites.

    GPS is out on a rear arm, and VTx is on a bar in-between the two front arms.

    Worked well.
