My saga continues.... for those of you keeping score at home, I'm on P3P #2 after an exchange with a problem-plagued first unit. Nevermind my first bird arrived a couple of months ago and to this day, I haven't even installed rotors yet. I guess these things take time, and I have to admit that the thing looks mighty sexy sitting on a shelf in my studio... but I digress.
I am running Android with a Nexus 7 II with the latest firmware and software. I'm getting very profficient at compass calibrating and chilled IMU set up. My problem is that I have no GPS.
After toiling for a couple of weeks, and some sound advice on these boards.... I decided to bite the bullet, forego yet another exchange or God-forbid, a warranty return to the factory... and I picked up a GPS module.
It arrived yesterday, and I plugged it in... and? Still no GPS. Although, the issue has taken on a new dimension. Now I am getting an occasional warning prompt at the "Flight Mode" indicator saying "strong interference". Which by the way, is very unlikely. I'm on 5 acres with plenty of space from metallic things and power sources and the like. Also, my P2 locked onto GPS without fail.
I'm about ready to glue some balsawood wings on this thing and just toss it around the field.
I've done my best to do things by the book, but obviously I am missing something, or need some troubleshooting insight from someone.
Anyone have an idea of what I should try?
