Yesterday I updated the X5R firmware to the latest version, today I get no GPS lock.
It could be a co-incidence - has anyone had any issues with Inspire not acheiving GPS lock?

My Ap is up to date, copter up to date. I could get a lock for about 20 seconds, long enough to take off - then it would go. THere is a chance that the lock came back when the legs were in the down position - but I will need to confirm this.

HELP.

To clarify, have you performed an IMU calibration after updating the firmware update?

Are you able to perform a successful calibration? What kind of areas have you been flying in and how many GPS satellites are you able to acquire? How many do you lose once you take off?

So I recalibrate the IMU and bingo - GPS error gone. However the issue I had with losing video signal remains.
I believe its a mechanical issue over software as it drops out if I do a fast forward or side to side movement. I have tried the Lin Phan solution of loosening off the board, checked the pins but can't see anything. Anyone got any other thoughts?

Hi ian

Sounds like the problem I had..
turned out that it was a copper hair that produced a short over to pins of the conecting cable between copter and gimbal..
