DJI GPS On REVO Hexacopter
« on: July 21, 2016, 01:52:13 pm »
Hi folks.
I am going to try out the new NEXT version to see if I can get a DJI GPS to run with the REVO in my HEXI 350.
Here is what I have done so far.
See if I can get it to work.

And here is how I have it mounted.
Running TBS Crossfire too with a micro RX.

Update, looking good.
The DJI GPS locks on fast and get all greens.
It seems to do it better than the V9 on my other machine.
Test fly soon but had it hovering in the back yard and it looks all good.
Att
Acro+
Acro+
Position hold
RTB

Update...and so the ability to use a DJI GPS with built it's in mag just using the 4 wires to the REVO is great.
Still not flying the best. mag probs, so have put the GPS up higher to see how it goes.
GPS hold and RTB and land all work but its a bit all over the place till I get the mag right.

Fly in in Acro+ mode for flips and rolls still but have failsafe to RTB and land for peace of mine.

Video here

The DJI GPS works very good.
You need to update to the beta - development version of Libre Pilot for it to talk to the DJI GPS.
Once the boys release this next version, its going to great to be able to use other GPS's like the DJI.
