Hi,
We spoke about this in an earlier thread and the mounting guide is showing the wrong Y numbers for position 1, mine came fitted at -118 Y, and it measures that too, its time to get the ruler out.
All Z, measurements are taken from 26mm below the centre frame, this is confusing, firstly if the datum is 26mm below any point surly it would be a positive number? Secondly what is defined as the "centre frame". Using reverse logic I measure 230mm from the top of the gps which is about 26mm below the top gps mounting plate. Assuming this is correct all Z, measurements should be measured from the top plate plus 26mm but written in the assistant2 as (-) then the number (Z only) ,,,,who makes this stuff up.
Your gps viewed horizontal is 200 from the underside mounting plate to the top plate, plus 26=226, 4mm off the factory setting, so in the ball park. A second gps and IMU, would go anywhere on the top plate as long as you added the location in space/on the craft. The location is of the gps is used to fix where the gps antenna is in space, however the accuracy of the gps can be plus or minus 200mm at best so maybe it is of no importance especially as the barometer is the key sensor in landing, ie how far off the ground.
It is probably utterly pointless asking why its setup this way because there is too much disconnect between the forum admins and the design team, we should just use our logic to pinpoint theres so we might better understand.
NB, I think there is a glitch in assistant2 Mac, because if you press the craft type button it resets the 2nd gps and Imu location and when you put in the 118mm it is outside the craft which would be consistent with the new pro M600 having a smaller top plate, click the m600 button again and it resets but will take the 118mm location this might be coincidence.
I hope this gets more input.
