Absolutely fantastic video! Exactly what I was looking for. Went from having my GPS wired incorrectly (Tx to Tx, Rx to Rx -- Don't laugh! 🙂) to having a fully functioning GPS rescue on both my Speedybee 35 and Moz 7 quads. I really like your approach - straight forward, informative and no BS.
I’ve never come across videos that plainly just explain the basics without giving too much unnecessary context, your videos are unreal man! But could you maybe do a small video explaining the UART’s and connecting your radio transmitter to the drone?
Really good tutorial ! I've played with GPS rescue but you brought up a few good ideas to tune things out. What worked great for me is to put my GPS module in front of the battery (over the camera). 6+ Sats in 20 seconds without the need to plug in USB
Good Job! I learned a bunch about the mysterious GPS. This is perfect and timely for me. I will use this to set my GPS on my quad. Might have to call you Barwell Jr. LOL
Just wanted you to know I did everything you said to the letter and it worked FLAWLESS!!! Now I have my gps hooked up correctly on my 7" and my 5" .... actually I wasn't that far off just some of the settings in the failsafe tab but throwing the switch the first time was the biggie. My stomach was in my throat!! 😂 Because I know if you mess up anything your bird falls literally out of the air. Just wanted to thank you!!! I went through like 6 packs already fine tuning it. 😂 I do alot of line of sight flying on top of fpv and it's nice knowing if I lose orientation I can just flip a switch and that puppy is coming back home. I lost many a quad like that. Sooooo thank you my friend old Joshua could learn a thing or to off you because I went letter to letter off of his 4.5 tutorial and my quad fell out the sky- Facts!!! He is to technical sometimes and hard to follow... Time for some more packs I'm freaking tickled!!😂😂😂
Finally someone that explained everything. Thanks so much. You answered so many questions for me. I had it working just fine before watching your video but didn't understand everything. Now I do, thanks to you. But I have a question for you about GPS. Yes I was doing exactly the same as you in regards to power the GPS without the vtx. But it still takes some time to get over 6 satellites. Yes I use M10 also. But my DJI model 3 pro gets about 15 satellites in a very short period, and with the vtx ON. What can I do to get that on my 5 inch drone? If they do it we should be able to achieve the same thing!
the pad tracing techinique you show at 12 minutes is great knowledge to have! I am experienced in drone building but these videos always have little tid bits of knowledge that brings me back to watching more. Thanks!
Hey, wanted to let you know that I followed your video and found it very helpful except for one thing that directly contradicts betaflight docs and nearly caused me to lose my drone: you recommend not using auto baud rates for the GPS module when really, that’s exactly what you should do. In my example with a mateksys m10, at the spec sheet baud rates of 9600, my drone can’t orient and flies off randomly. The auto baud rate of 56000 (approx) works flawlessly. This is what betaflight instructs to do.
It’s better to look up the correct spec sheet for your GPS and match the baud rate in beta-flight to correctly match the required spec. The way D shot did it the best way. Auto baud is fine if you don’t know what GPS you have but then again it might not work because of this.
I watched every gps rescue vid on here and this is the most comprehensive, love the way it disarms as soon as it has contact with the ground, I need to start practicing that 😆
I've been flying for about 5 yrs and really the only thing I was a little sketchy on was gps and you literally answered every question I've ever had and I've watched them ALL trust me! I can't wait til tomorrow! I'll let you know how it goes after test session 1 goes!!!😂
I have also done A LOT of GPS testing and found that an ELRS RX will cause GPS interference if it is not connected to a TX. So when warming up the GPS I recommend turning on your transmitter. You also need about 10 minutes (or more) for the GPS to download the almanac. Excellent video! BF 4.5.1 will support MSP GPS data if you are using a PhoenixUAS mRID remote ID module.
Absolutely great explanation! For the first time someone said that VTX make noise to GPS and now I finally know why my Mobula 8 has no problem to fix GPS when it is connected to USB port but it has VERY big problems to get a fix when battery is connected. Even Happymodel was not able to answer it. From my experience I am doing exactly as you said: first I connect power to USB port and when there is a fix i connect battery. And thank you very much for telling us that we should connect GPS to 4v5 pin😂
@@andrewmedia3568 So I've tested it at the field and I can confirm it works as expected, one thing I did notice, is that it's a bit shaky for me with the iFlight Nazgul eco DC5, maybe it's the Angle settings, It's almost as if the GPS rescue kicks the throttle inconsistently, you can hear that it kicks the throttle then stop then kick the throttle again, until it eventually get back home, and so I wonder if it's a normal behaviour.
Wow great job explaining, really enjoyed the video and I am going to add GPS to my in-flight 5” quad. Only been doing FPV for a short time, but guys like you really help us beginner. Thank you, Don.
Very good video, well explained with good setup explainations in BF. Narrated flight video showing OSD and actual control of the BF settings in flight, is the best ive seen. Ive watched so many vids from some of the best FPV gurus out there and their vids dont come anywhere near the content you've uploaded. Well done.
26:58 Great video! Just fyi “ground speed” is the speed over the ground including wind. It’s different from “airspeed”. So you shouldn’t have to worry about wind since the drone will target that speed relative to the ground.
My GPS has saved me more than a few times now, but has failed at least once. Can’t wait to change my settings to yours. You pack a ton of info into your vids. Your style of explanation helps make BF easier to understand, thanks. I’m always excited to jump back into BF and change up some settings after watching your vids! I just installed a gps mate on my 7” build to power the gps unit for a cold start. Do you ever shield and ground your gps wires ? Thanks again, great content !
Hey, I used the exact same settings you showed here to setup GPS rescue on my 5 inch 6S drone. As soon as I triggered GPS rescue, the VTX turned off for some reason (I have the Goku F722 Mini V2 Pro FC) which has a switch controlled 10v pad so I’ll try to figure that part out but yes the video went full static (I fly analog). I got worried for a moment as I couldn’t see anything but the drone came back so fast, it almost felt like magic. I have flown drones in the past with GPS rescue setup but never tested it and haven’t had to use it. Thank you again for this very helpful video.
The angled mode trick is a really good idea esp. for the low and high-speed flights I do. Lifesaver! Thank you for a great and thorough tutorial for the latest Betaflight/FW (at the time of this recording) as other guides I've used don't really work that well.
New subs here from the Philippines bro.. i mean im a Filipino but based now in Qatar.. thank you for the detailed setup of GPS rescue, gives me confidence now to rebuild and get back into the hobby... Anyway super impressed with the tuning on this 5inch setup of yours bro.. can you share your pids or maybe make a video on how you tune your quads bro, also how you setup your HUD?🤙🏼 Godbless and more power bro!
Thanks for subbing! I just use the supafly 5" freestyle preset PID for all my quads. I will probably do a betaflight setup video pretty soon since I've had a few people ask about it.
I do this on analog quads. For digital, I use Vifly GPS Mate. They're fantastic! But I suppose there's no reason you couldn't use a pit switch on a digital vtx...
great vid. Ive tested GPS return to home flying LOS, without the goggles. Its pretty cool to see in person, make sure to set Minimum distance to home 15 meters. ABout 50Feet ive found its far enough for the GPS to gain a proper heading.
@@andrewmedia3568 And also increase "max throttle" otherwise the quad will loose altitude. I think a lower target speed like 15m/s, with a greatest max angle and max throttle seems more suitable for windy situations
@@andrewmedia3568 Do you have any more information on the device you used to power the FC pre-flight for GPS connection? I think you powered it with a 2S LiPo?
This is so helpful mate. Actually explaining each thing and what it does etc is needed! Can you? (or have you?) done a video explaining the RSSI & LQ numbers? I have them in my OSD but I haven't a clue what they actually mean. Cheers mate! ;)
RSSI DBM is the Receiver Signal Strength measured in DB. RSSI and RSSI DBM are a little different. RSSI DBM is a more real accurate representation of the receiver signal strength. for example lets say your radio output is 1000mw or 1W that is equal to 30Db. LQ is link quality. This show how many data packets are actually making it to the drone. So an LQ of 100 means 100% of data sent is getting through, an LQ of 70 means 70% of the data is making it to the drone. That data being your stick inputs from the radio. Hope this helps.
Great video. Worked fairly well with my 10-inch quad. The descents are a little violent once it gets over the home location. But at least it consistently returns itself over the home location. Ideally, by then I'd have control again. Not sure why the descents are not as smooth as those in the video.
try changing your decent rate. mine is 1.5 meters per second for a 5" quad. Try making it slower or faster and see what works better. Also larger quads have more prop wash when descending down into their own dirty air.
Exelent guide, it helpt me alot Regarding 21m/s ground speed to compensate for wind speed, isn't speed over ground, speed the quad will travel over ground regardless of windspeed?
Yeah I explained it wrong. I just was trying to say you want your return speed to be a decent speed, not like 10mph. A 5" quad can easily travel at 30-40mph without struggling.
One thing to note on USB-C power banks, they all will negotiate voltage with whatever periferal is plugged in. This is due to the USB PD standards which are almost universally adopted. As a result USB-C power sources are required to have a 5v output (and they actually output this even if negotiation fails in almost all cases) so it shouldn't be an issue to plug whatever USB-C power source into your quad!
thank you for this tutorial. It was really helpful. Coud you make a video with generels about soldering flightcontrollers. On which pad should VTX (analog, digital) RX, beeper... be connected. What means the since of the flightcontroller. Should cabels ever been drilled?...
Man thank you for this I swear I think you felt my soul lol. I just ordered everything build my 7inch and I ended up getting the GEPRC GEP-M10 gps and was wondering how ima figure it out then boom your video pops up haha.
GPS ground speed doesn’t care about wind, FYI. It’s actual speed over the ground AFTER wind has affected the quad. The quad has no way to know how much wind it’s flying in. If you set it to 47mph and there’s a 30mph headwind, you are asking the quad to try to fly back at 77mph through the air. That may cause some problems depending on the build.
Very informative video. I can see that your gps is locking in satellites within the house (presumeably). I'm currently using the Foxeer m10q 180, and even though I power it via usb and leave it on for about 10 minutes, it still doesn't lock any satellite. Only when I take it outside and plug out the vtx cable and power it via lipo it locks a good amount of satellite like 16 plus. Although it's mounted just behind my analog camera, do you think that could be an issue. Maybe copper shielding the wire would help it catch satellites faster?
@@andrewmedia3568 Thanks for the reply. Yes, when I power the quad via usb (without Lipo), betaflight shows that its searching for different sats, but the sats don't lock, infact, they just come and go. And this happens only inside the house. When I take it outside, plug the Lipo in and leave it for about 10mins or so, it starts locking.
@@dread-gamex hmm ok next I would check your baud rate and protocol. Looks like that GPS can use NMEA and UBLOX make sure your using UBLOX. And If your set to the 115200 Baud rate already you could try switching to auto baud . But do these changes one at a time to see if it helps. Then both together.
Bro this was the best gps tutorial I've ever watched Bardwell and all. Absolutely impeccable!!!

26:50 ground speed is not affected by wind, if the quad faces a headwind it will throttle up until target ground speed is reached
yes as long as your angle limit is not too low. needs to be able to pitch over far enough to achieve the set speed.
@@andrewmedia3568 And also increase "max throttle" otherwise the quad will loose altitude. I think a lower target speed like 15m/s, with a greatest max angle and max throttle seems more suitable for windy situations

I would use the compass. If it is calibrated it will improve gps rescue functionality. Check out 4.5 release notes
Ok, good info ill check the release notes out thanks. 👍
GPS ground speed doesn’t care about wind, FYI. It’s actual speed over the ground AFTER wind has affected the quad. The quad has no way to know how much wind it’s flying in. If you set it to 47mph and there’s a 30mph headwind, you are asking the quad to try to fly back at 77mph through the air. That may cause some problems depending on the build.
Great video, but how would you mount gps and the new ID requirement
look up the lumineer RID, its a mag, gps and remote ID
Very informative video. I can see that your gps is locking in satellites within the house (presumeably). I'm currently using the Foxeer m10q 180, and even though I power it via usb and leave it on for about 10 minutes, it still doesn't lock any satellite. Only when I take it outside and plug out the vtx cable and power it via lipo it locks a good amount of satellite like 16 plus. Although it's mounted just behind my analog camera, do you think that could be an issue. Maybe copper shielding the wire would help it catch satellites faster?
Are you sure it's getting power from usb? kinda sounds like its only powered once a lipo is plugged in.
@@andrewmedia3568 Thanks for the reply. Yes, when I power the quad via usb (without Lipo), betaflight shows that its searching for different sats, but the sats don't lock, infact, they just come and go. And this happens only inside the house.
When I take it outside, plug the Lipo in and leave it for about 10mins or so, it starts locking.
@@dread-gamex hmm ok next I would check your baud rate and protocol. Looks like that GPS can use NMEA and UBLOX make sure your using UBLOX. And If your set to the 115200 Baud rate already you could try switching to auto baud . But do these changes one at a time to see if it helps. Then both together.
