"ahhhh it's powered of course"
"I like it!
Does the phone irritate you by turning itself off or running out of batteries right at an inopportune moment ?"

Hi All,Can anyone explain this output of my OSD? The positions are somewhat explained by what I programmed in, but there is possibly some wrapping... Well let's face it it's a mess.The artificial horizon for example... there's a line, but underneath…
"Thanks for all the wonderful comments.
I'm not so worried about the battery story, yet. Good ideas though.
Haven't tested yet and still waiting on more connectors and my VTx LiPos. I'll add some comments when I get it running."

"Hi Thomas,
I have in fact discovered that it was activated as per the standard logic. What I didn't know was that one really must install the 3DR firmware. So I spent some time doing this. Although it didn't change anything with respect to EGNOS, it…"

"Hi Pieter, sounds like moderately positive feedback. I assume the issue with the range is a simple Fresnel issue. Hence the best result is gotten with a tall pole. RCModelReview has a video at some point where he discusses antennas and range and he…"
OK, it's not a concept. I built it, it's nearly ready to go.However, until it works, I will call it a concept.Fieldview 777 screen, Boscam 5.8GHz VRx with ImmersionRC circular polarised antenna. 3S 1000mAh battery not shown, but will hang…

OK, I get it. This is a very good description of EGNOS. Maybe if I bought the module through HK, EGNOS is not automatically on."

"Hi Thomas, no I haven't. What does it do? Honestly, I haven't changed the 'as sold' configuration on my Ublox."
"Hi Magnus, OK. That's really given me food for thought. I would be surprised really if they are really that bad considering the specified resolution. I also have my GPS mounted close to an ESC. Since my airframe is essentially mini scale I don't…"
"That module also has the LEA-6M, so theoretically should be the same."
"oh whoa, that sounds great. I put it down to the wind, but now I'm getting suspicious. I believe that the Ublox is fine and it should have that sort of resolution, so perhaps I have another problem, maybe interference.
Is this the one you bought?…"
Is this the one you bought?…"
"Hi Magnus, I have the UBLOX LEA-6M.
I must say though, I was suspicious when I got a lock in a completely new location within a few minutes. If my mates hadn't have egged me on, I wouldn't have set her free like I did. Shame I didn't get the crash…"

"Andrew, Yes that's the GPS 3D lock position. You don't get a plus with this ublox software unless there is a 3d lock. However the algorithm is clearly able to converge on a wild range of solutions until the 'learnt position' kicks in.
I'm talking…"
I'm talking…"
° Don't leave your model in a car in the middle of summer if your principle construction method is hot glue ° 3D LOCK DOESN'T MEAN JACK - you absolutely need telemetry so that you can track your GPS location and wait for it to settle down. Since the…
"Thanks Doug. I could have / should have written a bit more coherently. Glad the message got across anyway."
