Just ordered two of these, technology seems to be really shrinking them and also making them more accurate and Speedy. I love that wood planking on the back wall of your studio
behind you in your studio it's awesome look
Is a great GPS module for betaflight quads.
Bro where is the forward position of the Hglrc M100 GPS Module with a compass
nice review sir! since you did not do an unboxing, is the SH1.0 4pin cable already soldered to the gos module as seen in the video? also how long is the included cable? cheers!
They're about 150mm but you can easily solder longer wires on if they are too short.
Thanks for the video. One bad side is that you need to solder the wires to the GPS, this is not mechanically sound (the wires will break quickly). Would be better with a connector.
I understand your concern about soldering wires to a GPS module. Soldering wires can be a bit challenging, and if not done correctly, it can lead to poor electrical connections, which may result in intermittent or unreliable performance. In addition, as you mentioned, mechanically, it's not a very durable solution as the wires can easily break if subjected to vibrations or if the device is frequently moved.
So you really think a connector has a mecanically stronger connection than the cable straight up soldered to the board? To the point that you think this will make or brake the connection? I don't see the issue here.
How did you connect your camera and vtx to your flight controller? I bet they are soldered, just like your Power cables. Soldering is only a bad connection if you don't do it properly imo.
@@David-ty6my The problem comes when you handle the device too often. When the leads are soldered to a device, some solder get sucked into the lead. They cannot bend anymore and break.
@@WhirlyBloke most ai generated "people pleaser" answer I read.
thank youfora great video it is reallygonna help us all out
No problem.
hmm, assuming the included cable is the one you are holding up soldere to the unit, i think it should be long enough for most quads.🤔
Plenty long enough. Thanks for watching.
good job. does it compatible with ESP32 or Arduino?
With a bit of work, I don't see why not.
Will these mini GPS actually make your quadcopter hover and stayed locked in location?
Not quite. If you want know more check out my other videos th-cam.com/video/4odtIEl0q2M/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/B1YmiawrQmE/w-d-xo.html
no Compass SDA/SLA pins...:((
That's cos it's aimed at BetaFlight rather than INAV.
Can I install this on a speedy bee F405 wing app flight controller? I am hoping to use INAV. My FC board has 6 pins while this GPS comes with 4 pins. What could be a solution to this? How do I connect it to the FC?
Can i use this module to my car?
Not without a lot of other stuff that's normally on the drone.😀
Can anyone help me out with this gps. I can only get 5 satellites and that's it. I tried everything setting in betaflight 4.3. It can't be interference from vtx or anything because i can power it up with my phone through speedybee app. The drone is the darwin 129. Any help I would greatly appreciate it.
Firstly, it is important to note that the number of satellites a GPS module can lock onto depends on various factors such as the location of the drone, the surrounding environment, and the quality of the GPS module itself. However, there are some things you can try to improve the number of satellites your module can lock onto.
Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow:
Make sure your GPS module is properly installed and connected to your flight controller. Double-check the wiring and ensure that the GPS is getting enough power.
Check that the GPS is mounted correctly on your drone. The GPS module should be mounted in a location where it has an unobstructed view of the sky.
Check that the GPS is configured correctly in Betaflight. In the "Ports" tab, make sure that the GPS is enabled for the UART that it is connected to. In the "Configuration" tab, ensure that the GPS protocol is set correctly (usually "UBLOX"), and that the correct baud rate (usually 115200) is selected.
Check that your GPS antenna is properly positioned and oriented. Make sure that the antenna is pointing up and away from any other electronics or metal parts on your drone.
Try updating the firmware on your GPS module. You can check for firmware updates on the HGLRC website or through the SpeedyBee app.
Try resetting your drone's GPS settings to default and reconfiguring them. Sometimes, incorrect GPS settings can cause issues with satellite acquisition.
Finally, try moving your drone to a different location and see if that improves the number of satellites that your GPS module can lock onto.
Hopefully, one of these troubleshooting steps will help you improve the number of satellites your HGLRC M100 Mini GPS module can lock onto. Good luck!
Thank you for responding. I'm still working on it in u center. One thing I can't find out is does this gps have bbr,ram,or flash
Watch vids on wrapping wires with copper tape and grounding the copper tape to get better signals.
when ou say that my drone should return to me and land within meters of take off....2 metes is a ....um..... not a small space. Looking arround me, visualizing 2 meters in 360 degrees....that's over 130f squared / 15 yards squared.... that is a chunk of space indeed.
And that's why the budget end of the GPS module market is budget. They use cheaper antennas that ultimately mean low positional accuracy. And that's fine for small FPV drones that use BetaFlight rescue mode. It's perfectly fine to get you home rather than just drop out of the sky. If you want better accuracy, then use something like the Matek M10 or M9 th-cam.com/video/B1YmiawrQmE/w-d-xo.html
