It happens from time to time. What you may not be aware of is that there are two completely separate radio links, the first is a two way radio link, the RC control unit sending commands to the aircraft, and then receiving telemetry data back from the aircraft. The second link is the aircraft sending video FPV feed back to the RC unit. One link can often be working just fine while the other one suffers an interruption. In your case the FPV link dropped out, while the aircraft control link was still OK.
If you were flying over a construction project, then very likely you might have been in an area with intense WiFi activity, and that would cause the temporary outage.
I did not know about the two separate radio links but I was wondering if something like that was in play since I could fly the drone but at the same time not have a video feed.
Regarding the WiFi interference, this is a small commercial/residential project, eight two story condos. Right now there does not seem to be much in the way of equipment that might be interfering. There is a crane that is lifting trusses in place. I don't know if it uses any WiFi or not.
So if the bird is controlled by two separate radio channels/frequencies how does WiFi effect that? Do you know? |
