"Dual GPS systems on drones has been around for a long time. In fact, I don't make birds without dual GPS systems. One plugs into the pixhawk 2.1 itself (GPS1) and the second one plugs into the GPS 2 slot.

"I too have noticed this issue with it not working, so have 3 others in the local area. FW version 3.5.3 is the last working version. I'll confirm ultrafuge's method and let yall know if it works for me. It would not surprise me if someone just…"
"I'm very excited about the mention of a global shutter, that's one I should have put in the original post for sure! The Parrot Sequoia has a HUGE rolling shutter problem...I mean it too, 3.5 THOUSAND DOLLARS and no image it takes with the RGB is…"
"Your in over your head bud, I can tell by the question."
I have spent 7 years messing with drones. I've used them from a 500lb UAV down to 55g of weight. I know how to design them and conduct operations from mapping to SAR. I'm more than knee deep in this stuff. In all this time I've yet to see a…
"The fact remains that this error code, as it is sounded from pixhawk is either being misinterpreted or is not in the listed library of error sounds."
"Upon recalibrating the transmitter these problems appear to have ceased. Testing in progress."
"Removing the kill switch does not fix the problem
Replacing the kill switch does not fix the problem
This error is truly intermittent
Formating the SD card has no effect
Reflashing with arduplane 3.7.1 has no effect
While arduplane 3.7.1 was…"

"The self arming only happens when this error is present. This multirotor has more than 100 sorties. Trying a few things, will report back."
"I had a similar problem, turned out to be a crossed wire going from the gps/mag unit to the pixhawk. Do continuity checks on the wires going to and from your gps/mag units and then double check the wiring diagrams for them. A crossed wire cause a…"
I am unable to identify what these sounds mean. What is disturbing is that at the end of these sounds it reboots and then ARMS ITSELF with Mission Planner reporting that it is DISARMED.The kill switch will NOT disarm the aircraft.I can not make this…
For sale:A completed Phantom FX61 with three full auto flights. I am selling because I no longer have time to keep up with a personal drone. She needs a new servo (Hitec HS-5065MG). The camera she comes with (for weight and balance purposes) is a…
"Since the original aircraft didn't make it I have a new aircraft with the same problem it is in the Phantom FX61 Folder linked here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yp768lo9qyhwppy/AADEM9Bl4fPD7tn3rHcNVwXx...

"To answer your questions real fast before I call:
1. Temperature that day was only in the 80F range, 76C is about 168F. Here in Texas we do get up to 110F but not that day, I can not account for high baro temps other than the autopilot was…"

"Lots to say about her experience. The longer I mess with these things the more I realize that they are not for everyone. That said I'd not want to be the one to figure out who should fly and who shouldn't either. I don't have a solution so I'll…"
