Full Statistics | | | ELRS FailSafe again? | Posted by: MomoBrut - 25-Jul-2022, 07:47 AM - Forum: Long Range FPV - Replies (20) | | I have flown many, many hours with the ELRS, flying both freestyle, cinematic and LR for 8+ km and never had a problem until this weekend when I had the failsafe. I was in a valley in the mountains in the middle of nowhere, about 300 m from me there was only one building of a cottage. I flew a distance of about 3 km for more than 15 minutes, no problem. I took off from myself and flew far away from that building. When returning from the flight, I was returning from the other side of the building about 500 m apart. The moment I got a little closer to the building, when the building was between me and the drone, I fell into failsafe st1 and then the GPS Rescue was activated. The drone climbed high, flew over the building, and then I was back under control. It was very scary, even though I deliberately tested GPS rescue several times. I think the building had wifi with a significantly boosted wifi power because it was isolated and when the building got between the drone and me the background noise in the 2.4 GHz band was more than acceptable and the receiver was overwhelmed. The problem is that I didn't have telemetry logging activated in the transmitter for this flight, so I can't confirm the RSSI, SNR, etc numbers. What's annoying is that it happened at a distance of about 300 m and that no one can guess in advance if someone has amplified wifi outside the allowed limits in their building. I also fly inside buildings where I shoot promo videos. There are an extreme number of wifi APs in those buildings and I've never had a problem with failsafe. Regarding the flight configuration, I had FS on EP1, the transmission power of the module was dynamic, the FS came suddenly immediately, the telemetry did not even have time to report the increase in transmitting power. Therefore, I think the RSSI was fine, but the SNR was critical. I am writing this because V-22 wrote in this thread ExpressLRS 915Mhz failsafe into lake | IntoFPV Forum that the SNR problem is in the 900 MHz band and that it is not a problem in the 2.4 GHz band. Well, I report that the problem is also in this band. | | | Need help with AUX channels in receiver tab BetaFlight | Posted by: Team Scream - 25-Jul-2022, 02:04 AM - Forum: Radio Transmitter and Receiver - Replies (2) | | Guys I am dying over here... For the life of me, I cannot get Aux 3 to respond on ANY of my quads. Aux 3 for me would be switch SC on my radio. I assign channel 7 in the mixer tab to switch SC. I can clearly see switch SC is active on the radio, but in BF on the receiver tab, aux 3 does nothing. Also, in the modes tab, it does nothing. So, the radio mixer tab (channel 7) is set up correctly. The switch is active in the radio (I can see the activity) Nothing happens on the receiver tab in BF. (no movement on Aux 3) Crossfire (8 channel mode) Jumper T16 Mamba F722 FC Betaflight 4.3.1 (also same problem on BF 4.0.3) Any help greatly appreciated. | | | Interference in short distance with steadyview receiver | Posted by: tomstell - 24-Jul-2022, 07:48 PM - Forum: Analogue FPV System - Replies (5) | | I have the skyzone ox4 oled. i have a problem with my reception video. i have interference in 20-30meters with small obstacles. I tried to upload the FW so i can try to solve the problem but on skyzone site i found only the FW for goggles not for steadyview for which i think is the problem. Any suggestions? | | | Help! | Posted by: LDR_R4ndom - 24-Jul-2022, 03:23 AM - Forum: Beginner Questions - Replies (4) | | I have gotten a new FPV drone, and when I bind/connect the TX and RX together, they bind; but the drone will not respond. My TX is the Radiolink AT9S Pro and the RX is the R6DSM. | | | |
