We're into the Summer of 2023 and there hasn't been an updated firmware issued for the P4RTK since November 2022. Here's my take on things;
- Same issues getting everything reconnected, but eventually got it all working again
- Same issue with firmware versions not matching up for both the aircraft and the D-2RTK system
Ground Station OS Issues:
- now the "new" imagery is absolutely horrible and takes forever to load
- the text in the imagery in the key map is still in "Chinese" even though I'm in North America
- you cannot pinch zoom past a certain point, so if you are trying to get a bit picky with your waypoints it will only zoom in so far, but much less than all the previous versions
- when using 'Walk with RTK', the above comment is particularly a pain in the A$$ especially if you're surveying items like say the road edge and the curb, you cannot zoom in close enough to actually split the points far enough apart to select one to either edit or delete it (use to be able to do this no issues, the imagery was just really blurry)
- you still cannot edit the Walk with RTK units from DMS to DD (which is exported into the CSV file)
- apparently you can 'import' a Walk with RTK task, but I have yet to achieve one that works, even using an already exported CSV file as a template, edit the data, import and it's not recognized
- Past few days the RTK connection has been spotty, it seems to only want to create a FIX signal if I have at least 20 satellites connected, this has not been an issue in the past and there's no new firmware updates that would cause this to suddenly be the case, but, in the last month it seems to be somewhat a steady issue. Once I reach more than 20, boom, anything less, I'm waiting for the signal to connect to my NTRIP account
when the system works (90% of the time) it's spot on, no issues, but these small changes really affect the usability of the system overall, certainly a disappointment in the firmware upgrade, definitely seems like a downgrade in overall functionality to me.... I do not think the M3E is any different as I believe they share the same OS it's just a different controller... |
