    M10 gps and Betaflight 4.5 are really amazing.
    @12:10 The faster GPS baud is CPU intensive. It's advised to use 57600 baud AND 4k pidloop (even for F7) per the "Betaflight 4.5 GPS Rescue" docs. If you want 8k8k then you have to use 2Hz which is 19200 baud.
    Great how-to.

    Thanks for the setup explanation. With the GPS, HDOP is "horizontal dissolution of position" . It shows how much you are drifting horizontally. Less is better. Roughly speaking a 1.6 HDOP means your quad will hover 'in place' within a 1.6m horizontal square.

  • @TechnicallyTom
    @TechnicallyTom 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    If you connect the GPS to a USB powered pad, it will sometimes interfere with BetaFlight firmware flashing. The iFlight F7s have this issue and it’s happened to me on IARTs I’ve been told it should be an issue on. It definitely happens on the one recxomended for GPS. Crossfire also has this issue. What has worked better for me is to use a flight controller with a built in put switch and use that to turn off the VTX for the first flight of the day until I get a fix. Your flight controller has this and also does not power the GPS from USB. This is much easier to deal with than plugging in USB for the first GPS fix.

    About Galileo:
    It's the satellite navigation system of Europe.
    GPS is American made, then there is GLONASS (Russian) and BeiDou (Chinese).
    GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo are the biggest/most well developed systems.
    General term for these is GNSS.
    Most GNSS receivers can work with three systems simultaneously.

    You said the simplest thing, and it made it dawn on me, about putting the GPS on a USB 5 volt rail, especially when using HD. Never even thought to just plug into it at the field, and let that "warm" the GPS up, so the VTX is not running and over heating. I learned something today!!!

    @PilotPlater 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    As for the ground assistance, in north america it's safe to set it to WAAS because that's the only one available here.
    I highly highly suggest anyone using gps to have WAAS (or your local equivalent) enabled, because it takes the normal gps accuracy of 50 feet or so, and turns it into ~3 foot accurate with basically no downside. It's the same technology full scale aircraft use all the time to navigate to runways even in poor weather conditions.

    Thank you so much for this video. I swapped out the m8 chip my quad had come with with an m10 and then decided to try to set this up. Must have watched this video 5 or 6 times. Flashed BF 4.5 on my new quad and then set GPS rescue up to a T as instructed in this video. Very first test of it returned to home successfully 5 times in a row. Only small hiccup is the altitude is all screwy and thinks it's higher than it is and descends way too fast. This would have saved my butt a few days ago when I fail-safed halfway up a mountain lol. Thankfully the VTX stayed on so I was able to find it and got some good exercise in the process.

    Galileo is a constellation of satellites (European) same as Gps(American), Glonass (Russian) Beidu etc… SBAS stands for Satelite based augmentation system, based on ground stations giving possible corrections to certain satellites being off time, transmitting it to a ref satellite (Wass is PN the Us, Egnos in Europe or Gagan India, etc..) to compute the correction signals, the SBAS geostationary satellites communicate with regional ground stations and this leads your system to use more satellites even if they are not perfectly synchronised : more satellites being used leads to a better position precision less than 2 meters in my case !

    I know we’ve come a long way in the FPV hobby and I appreciate all the things the devs do, given that this is a volunteer open source project. But I’m still surprised it’s this complicated to make return to home function, sort of. Also, the heading arrow should really just be taken out. If it doesn’t work reliably most of the time then it’s really a hindrance. I nearly lost a drone by relying on. My bad I know.
    Issues aside, I appreciate where we are and I love this hobby!

    Some words on the CLI parameters GPS_RESCUE_VELOCITY_[PID] and GPS_RESCUE_VELOCITY_[PID] would have been good. They make all the difference of either letting you sit back and enjoy the auto-return or, when set incorrectly, giving you a heart-attack. Any pitch-jerking on return or throttle oscillations on the descent can be tuned away.

    Thank you for everything you do Bardwell! One question though, I'm on 4.5.1 and everything is running perfectly. The only thing that I couldn't figure out was on the 27:05 mark where you're setting the "Period of time in Stage 1 failsafe after signal loss", yours defaulted to .4 seconds and I am unable to do anything under 1 second? It actually defaulted to 1.5 and I was out testing it and I'm very glad I was high enough when it finally kicked in. I would like to set it lower if there's a workaround for testing purposes although my GPS rescue is in fact working great!

    On the previous betaflight update Me and Droner Boner had a DJI goggles and DJI remote on a 03 unit and unplugged the goggles it went from 2 feet from the ground and flew way out and flew back to crash behind us. Very scary BUT when you done it on a switch it worked perfectly. We only tried this out because mine done the same on a long range flight. I seen the goggles loose connection. It came back in and was doing random hovering stuff till it flew away. I had remote connection the whole time. It would not do anything at all I tried my GPS switch. I tried disarming and everything. It just flew away... I specifically done a GPS test 2 baseball fields away before I done the long range flight. It returned back perfectly on the switch. So of course I felt confident to do the flight.

    Galileo is the name European Union satellite consolation with 24 operating satellites as a posed to the USA satellite consolation called Navstar. Also, with 24 operating satellites. So, with it on in betaflight, it gives you access to 48 satellites instead of 24. I'm not sure which ones do or don't, but the gps unit has to be able to receive the signal from the galileo satellites, or it won't work. HDOP stands for Horizotal Dilution Of Precision.

But sometimes, even on clear days, gps sits there with zero sats for 30mins, until the lipo runs out. Even with vtx turned off. I know, that I have set it up correctly. In inav I always get no less than 14 sats in 2mins. I have even shielded and grounded gps wires. Btlf is so poor with gps, even on 4.5 version.

    Joshua, question for recue mode with BF4.5. my drone is 1m away from me and motors are spinning bit but not enough to hovering. When turning on rescue mode, the drone suddenly jumpped up and hit a house's ceiling, crazy!! Old version of BF set disarmed and motors are stopped because of less than min distance to home. I wonder this crazy thing happens to your drone. To reproduce this, place a armed drone near you and set throttle up to spin motors, then turn on rescue mode. See your drone either disarmed or fly up to be rescue mode, Thanks!!! (or my geprc f722 aio is not compatible completly with new BF config)

    I have a weird problem. I set it all up as described in the video, then, when I simulated the failsafe by a flipping a switch the quad went into GPS rescue as planned, however, it didn't let me deactivate the failsafe by switching back. It kept flying back and crashed into my house because I launched too close (didn't intend to let it auto-land). What can be the reason that I wasn't able to interrupt the gps rescue?

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      After you kick out of GPS rescue, you must deflect the sticks at least, I think it's 25%, to get control back. Did you do that?

    • @petergric
      @petergric 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@JoshuaBardwell I waited a little to see if it works, then I flipped the switch back to take control, but soon I saw it didn't respond to my input. However, I'm not sure if I moved the sticks far enough to deactivate it. I'll test it again on a meadow where it can't crash into anything in case it insists to fly back!
      Anyways, thank you Joshua for your amazing tutorials! You are the best!

    Hi Joshua, I have discovered a problem with BF 4.5.0. After updating from 4.4.2 to 4.5.0, the symbol for the number of satellites disappeared in my V2 glasses. However, the icon for the satellites is displayed in the OSD tab. Unfortunately, I cannot solve the problem. Do you have any ideas? If I go back to 4.4.2, the icon for the satellites will be visible in the glasses again. Many thanks in advance and best regards, Sascha

    @symark368 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I thought betaflight heading was done automatically, even with or without a compass, or if arrow is wrong. It is calculating the GPS data if the quad is getting closer or not to home, adjusting angle/rotation/direction in small amounts!?

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Heading is reported by the GPS receiver. But Betaflight also estimates heading by integrating the gyro.

    When you are testing GPS rescue you flip a switch to turn it on and you flip it off to retake control. But if it really fail safes how/when do you get control back?

    Hi JB. Have you messed around with the gps rescue velocity pids? My Chimera 7.5 has a nasty vertical/pitch during the return flight. Apparently, messing around with the "gps rescue velocity" PIDs helps to fix this issue.

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      First thing to do is make sure your GPS is operating at 10 Hz. If it's a 1 Hz GPS then that explains the issue.

  • @flaparoundfpv8632
    @flaparoundfpv8632 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The ascend rate and ground speed rate should be adjusted to something that matches a failsafe scenario. Default ground speed is 7.5 m/s. Should be around 30mph or 12m/s for a conservative 7" speed that gets you home but doesn't stress the battery (or do that repeated braking thing that you're seeing). I you're failsafing with a 7", you really want to baby the throttle and not ascend too fast, because chances are you're on top of a mountain, your battery is cold, and you really do not want any sag if you're trying to make it home. Set the ascent rate lower, down to 4-5 m/s instead of the default 7.5.
