Well I will just keep updating this for anybody who's interested.
Called California today and talked to a very helpful gentleman named Phil on the phone. He seemed interested in helping me which is a positive.
I uploaded my DJI go logs from Aug 10th showing the 2 attempts at a POI orbit, both failed, both warned of "Low GPS Signal" when the P3A lost orbit and flew latterly away from the POI. At the time the "Low GPS Signal" displayed on the screen, the GPS indicator in DJI Go showed 17 GPS's and full signal strength.
Since these logs were not enough to convince Support that there was an issue, I drove out of Controlled Airspace to my same testing field and tried 3 other tests.
1. Flipped the controller in to F mode after take-ff and went thru the waypoint process of recording 5 waypoints, then uploaded to the P3A and told it to "Start". It headed toward waypoint 1, stopped immediately and went into a hover and then indicated GPS error and Compass Error and started to dangerously drift away to the left. I immediately took control and got it back.
2. Tried another POI orbit, with the exact same results as the previous day. This time there were 14 GPS's and still full GPS signal strength.
3. Tried another Waypoint record and upload, same thing, first it stopped on the way to waypoint 1 and went into a hover, then Compass Error and the UAV went out of control. It was all I could do to safely get it back to the landing area and get it down safely, it was all over the place.
After that I shut it down, I do not feel comfortable that this UAV will operate in a safe manor so as far as I'm concerned its Grounded. Uploaded my logs and will wait for Support to get back to me as they said they would. |
