GPS DONT GET SATELLITES | ExpressLRS Community | Page 1

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:12 AM

#

Hi, im noob and i started in the hobby of drones 2 weeks ago, im learning , sorry and be patience whit me pls 🙂

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:12 AM

#

since we last spoke in #help-and-support
what have you done so far?

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:13 AM

#

yo

#

okay, the last thinghie of yesterday was go outside and try to get some satellites

#

the problem of today,,, when i tooked the car for go the my site of fly

#

the gps literally didnt work

#

so nothig to try

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:14 AM

#

warm narwhal so nothig to try

there is

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:14 AM

#

i arrived to home, i conected to betaflight

#

and now i dont have the logo of the gps

#

so, i think better start from 0 now

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:14 AM

#

in short, it's not powering up or not being detected...

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:14 AM

#

and go step by step, i did it so many times whit videos of youtube but not work

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:14 AM

#

do I need to tell you to check wiring and all?

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:15 AM

#

so now maybe whit ur experience can u fins the issue

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:15 AM

#

quartz apex do I need to tell you to check wiring and all?

ill go post picture, 1 sc

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:15 AM

#

so you've not checked wiring yet despite that being the most obvious?

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:15 AM

#

quartz apex in short, it's not powering up or not being detected...

i think it is powered cuz the led work,,,

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:16 AM

#

quartz apex so you've not checked wiring yet despite that being the most obvious?

no no, i checked its all okay

#

but for explain to u better, i think is better check from the step 0

#

to the end to find where can be the problem, i did it like 10 times, but i cant find the issue,,, for that i was saying yesterday maybe i should update the firmware cuz,,, i cant find the issue

#

so okay, focus, i go disband the drone and ill go take a picture of the soldering

#

it go take to me like 2-3 mins. and also @quartz apex sorry for my english not is my first language, and thx so much for help all this days, im very apreccieated whit ur help 🙂

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:18 AM

#

don't complicate things:

wire gps to a vacant uart, tx goes to rx, rx goes to tx, 5v to 5v, gnd to gnd.
configure ports so that GPS is active in the correct uart, set baud rate per gps spec
tweak GPS settings in Configuration Tab, defaults should be fine for starters.
Take it outside, power it up.. get sat lock

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:19 AM

#

yeah, i did it,,, exactly for that is why im getting estressed is so easy, i did it like 3 times all the proces

#

but nothing

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:20 AM

#

do you still have the old gps unit? try that again..

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:20 AM

#

both gps are shit, but i think the tbs is better no?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:20 AM

#

or, instead of using the plug, solder the wires directly to the pads on the GPS unit

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:20 AM

#

warm narwhal both gps are shit, but i think the tbs is better no?

how can you say the TBS gps is better?

#

because TBS?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:22 AM

#

these are exactly the same, just rebranded shit

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:22 AM

#

I was using before this conector

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_930f40f4-c0c3-4b6b-87ec-24c6b420213d.jpg

#

But desperately i quites and did it soldering

#

For try get better connection

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:23 AM

#

if the gps units have pads, use the pads.. and solder the wires directly, on both sides

#

if there's no pads, make sure the pins in the connectors aren't bent

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:24 AM

#

Btw, it is good or its a bad idea? Btw what is the name in english of that red thing?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:28 AM

warm narwhal Btw, it is good or its a bad idea? Btw what is the name in english of that red t...

zip tie..

it's not a good idea..

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:29 AM

#

#

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:29 AM

#

you'd want them separated.

#

the receiver and the vtx.. more so if your VTX heats up so much..

#

(even though the receiver has a tcxo)

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:30 AM

#

#

here, the RX of the gps go to TX of the FC right?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:30 AM

#

warm narwhal here, the RX of the gps go to TX of the FC right?

yes

#

TX transmits while RX receives

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:30 AM

#

so its okay

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:30 AM

#

could be better

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:31 AM

#

the soldering not is perfect but i think not is the issue right?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:31 AM

#

it's "not yet" an issue, until those extra exposed wires short out

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:32 AM

#

okay 2-5 mins, i go quit and do it again

#

wait, maybe i shoul try to put in another port?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:32 AM

#

only strip out insulator as big as the pad the wire will go to.. there should be no extra conductor exposed..

#

uart1 is perfect and specifically alloted for a gps

#

and there's really no other spot for it other than uart2

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:34 AM

#

There is the top side of the Fc

#

Rx 3 and tx3 looks clean

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:35 AM

#

warm narwhal Rx 3 and tx3 looks clean

hold up.. how do you have wired your VTX?

#

isn't that in uart3?`

#

what's on uart5?

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:36 AM

#

is on uart 3 the VTX

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:36 AM

#

which exact wires are connected?

#

did you wired Video Signal to TX3?

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:36 AM

#

IN THE PORT 5 REAceiver

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:36 AM

#

(instead of VTX pad)?

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:37 AM

#

one sec i go cut the zip tie

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:37 AM

#

"Smartaudio/Tramp" should go into TX3, Video should go into VTX pad/pin

#

which in that case you cannot use uart3 for the GPS

#

uart 4 should be vacant..

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:38 AM

#

okay step by step, i should change the VTX soldering?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:39 AM

#

warm narwhal okay step by step, i should change the VTX soldering?

Video should go into the VTX pin if you haven't yet..

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:39 AM

#

actually is , VTX IN AURT 3
receiver in UART 5

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:40 AM

#

Smartaudio/Tramp pad on the VTX should connect to the TX3 pin

#

if you want to move the GPS into another uart, then UART4 should be vacant

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:41 AM

#

But the vtx is already in the VTX pin

#

#

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:41 AM

#

warm narwhal But the vtx is already in the VTX pin

and you haven't connected the smartaudio/tramp pin of the vtx to the TX3 pad/pin?

then uart3 can be used by the GPS

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:41 AM

#

is it no?

#

so VTX its okay ?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 8:43 AM

#

warm narwhal so VTX its okay ?

yes

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 8:47 AM

#

so, ill go do the solderin of gps again, i will try to do perfect...

#

From 1 to 10? Score? harold

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 9:01 AM

#

warm narwhal From 1 to 10? Score? <:harold:1004129775364882443>

6? 7?

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 9:01 AM

#

now i should put batery and check if in betaflight it appears right?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 9:01 AM

#

or I'm being generous?

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 9:02 AM

#

quartz apex or I'm being generous?

a lot, i think it is 3-4

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 9:02 AM

#

warm narwhal a lot, i think it is 3-4

then you should've done better.. 😄

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 9:03 AM

#

the problem is im noob, poor and unexperienced, so i dont have good material for do it better and it is a 6-7 is my situation, but for one profesional it es 2-3

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 9:03 AM

#

use flux and leaded solder, 350degC on the iron..
tin pads, tin wires, cut to length.
melt solder on pad, dip in tinned wires, solder melts on wire, remove iron

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 9:04 AM

#

i have a problem whit the flux

#

if i put much, i will conect the 4 in one

#

xd

#

but yes, i will try

#

i go use flux now

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 9:05 AM

bro my solder dont have any button is just conect and do it xd

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 9:06 AM

#

warm narwhal bro my solder dont have any button is just conect and do it xd

then invest in a good one.. something you'd only buy once and use in a long time

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 9:06 AM

#

i will try do my best soldering for show u my interest u.u

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 9:57 AM

#

okay, 1 hour later,,, enough not perfect, but i didnt stop try it

#

i think i let it worst than before

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 10:20 AM

#

It is how actually looks, i changed the ground

#

#

YOOOOO

#

#

SOLVEDDDDD

#

Im getting satellites now

#

@quartz apex !!!

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 10:32 AM

#

warm narwhal It is how actually looks, i changed the ground

maybe was the black wire the issue?

#

Also say, it was working full disbanded and the gps far away of all the other things, i will do another test full arm. I read in some forums the gps need to be very far of the other components

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 11:37 AM

#

warm narwhal okay, 1 hour later,,, enough not perfect, but i didnt stop try it

ground is ground.. so it doesn't really matter which ground pad it's on..
it's a different matter if something is shorting to ground, like say, the TX1 pad..
or if the TX1 pad is shorting with the RX1 pad..
with say a tiny sliver of solder..

antennas of different devices should be separated from each other.. even though they are different frequencies.

the GPS being the biggest antenna (in area) will be better off unobstructed physically or rf-wise is better

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:04 PM

#

warm narwhal i have antenas diversity, thx to ur post i know only 1 works

if you set it to diversity mode, then both will work

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:06 PM

#

quartz apex if you set it to diversity mode, then both will work

#

so i have to configure it? to make it true diversity?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:06 PM

BETAFPV Hobby

SuperD ELRS Diversity Receiver

BETAFPV SuperD ELRS is the first True Diversity Receiver that applies two antennas, dual receiver chains, and TCXO (temperature compensated crystal oscillator) tech, achieving a super accurate frequency rate and excellent performance in extreme temperature environments. It offers 2.4GHz and 915MHz/868MHz versions, and

#

868 mh

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:08 PM

then it's a True Diversity receiver

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:08 PM

#

so i have to configure it right?

#

i have it by default

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:08 PM

#

set it to Diversity via the lua script

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:09 PM

#

on my controller?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:09 PM

#

(more so if your TX has only one antenna)

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:09 PM

#

yes

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:09 PM

#

warm narwhal on my controller?

yes.. that's where the lua script is

#

tx and rx should be bound before you can access the parameters/settings for the receiver

the black antena dont work right?

#

if the module is active

#

so it is only 1?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:10 PM

#

yes.. you cannot have both internal and external modules active at the same time and working in tandem

#

and the internal module on the x9 is also 2.4GHz, not 868

shoul i quit from the osd?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:18 PM

#

warm narwhal shoul i quit from the osd?

is your RSSI dBm still at -130 value?

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:18 PM

#

no

#

i was flying well

#

is my first time of i fly more far than 500Meters lmao

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:19 PM

#

what value did you set the warning to be? or you didn't change it per the guide I have linked for you before? for about two times now..

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:19 PM

#

btw whitout gps like this morning im afraid of test the limits of my dron

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:20 PM

#

quartz apex what value did you set the warning to be? or you didn't change it per the guide ...

dont send again i wil check it again

#

until here , my tdha was on after that : s sorry

#

done

#

#

i setled is for fast refresh of data

#

200 and 1:2

#

i did all except this

#

i think it is for people who dont want info in excess right?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:31 PM

#

so after all that, you still missed this?

If you wish to enable the RSSI dBm warning, you'll have to change the alarm level using set osd_rssi_dbm_alarm = -100 in CLI. A sensible value is 5-10 higher than the sensitivity shown in the ELRS.lua for the packet rate (e.g. 250Hz=-108, so -103 to -98 for the alarm).

#

as this is my main concern really..

#

that's all I wanna know

#

what alarm level did you set your dbm to be?

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:32 PM

#

https://tenor.com/view/nunchucks-grand-master-gif-26261204

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:32 PM

#

quartz apex what alarm level did you set your dbm to be?

on my way

#

#

should i change the value

#

set osd_rssi_dbm_alarm =100

#

like this¿

#

#

done

#

is a bug in the page, is whitout "-"

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:39 PM

#

warm narwhal is a bug in the page, is whitout "-"

that's because you have an older betaflight firmware

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:40 PM

#

oh

#

more things... about the sounds

#

oh no no, i will configure the gps rescue now

#

why so many differents?

#

which one i should download?

#

750?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:45 PM

#

warm narwhal which one i should download?

you should be using the betaflight configurator, firmware flasher section

#

select your board..

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:45 PM

#

aah

#

405

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:45 PM

#

BEFORE you flash, save a backup of the current configuration.. via the CLI diff all command

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:46 PM

#

what ? i have to flash?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:46 PM

#

what are you doing exactly?

#

you're on the firmware download page.. so I'm thinking you intend to flash the firmware

#

(of your flight controller)

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:47 PM

#

no, i want to update the betaflight

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:48 PM

#

here's my advice: DO NOT update your betaflight firmware.. for now at least

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:48 PM

#

warm narwhal no, i want to update the betaflight

yes.. and that requires FLASHING the updated firmware

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:48 PM

#

i just want to put gps rescue mode in my drone, so for that i need betaflight 4.4 right?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:49 PM

#

warm narwhal i just want to put gps rescue mode in my drone, so for that i need betaflight 4....

what firmware version do you have on your drone?

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:49 PM

#

#

4.1.1

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:49 PM

which has some older form of GPS Rescue

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:50 PM

#

quartz apex BEFORE you flash, save a backup of the current configuration.. via the CLI diff ...

even if i dont flash i want to do it now, is just that ? click here and save right?¿

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:51 PM

#

warm narwhal even if i dont flash i want to do it now, is just that ? click here and save rig...

you're not in the CLI tab

#

read that note at the bottom

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:51 PM

#

ye ye

#

so is just CLI > diff all > save in file

#

right?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:54 PM

#

warm narwhal right?

yes

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:54 PM

quartz apex which has some older form of GPS Rescue

i dotn know, why u recomend to not get 4.4?=

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:55 PM

#

warm narwhal i dotn know, why u recomend to not get 4.4?=

because you do not know what you're doing yet.
because you haven't really flown your drone

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:56 PM

#

???

#

the first one is true

#

what do u mean whit the point 2?

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 12:57 PM

#

how many times have you flown your drone at what distance/range?

#

have you so far enjoyed your drone?

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:57 PM

#

like 10 times , at maximum 500 meter today, i didnt know well cuz my gps as u know not was givin data

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 12:59 PM

#

quartz apex have you so far enjoyed your drone?

ye but i have a problem, actually i dont know why but i enjoy more solving things than flying , actually im flying but whit fear cuz i dont know the limits of my drone yet, but im on this way

#

as u know im noob, but im so dedicated...as u can see,,, whit my issues of noob,,, but dedicated

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 1:01 PM

#

here's a scenario for you:

you update your drone... but because you don't know what you're doing, you now have an unflyable drone..

you try and get it sorted out, again.. and now you can't enjoy the drone you've already put time in..

you get frustrated because the drone you worked so hard so far on is not flying.. and you're at it again trying to fix it..
Cool if you can figure it out by yourself..

but then if you can't you would abandon it altogether.. and just move on.. never to pick it up again.

#

so my advise is to find enjoyment out of it, even just for a little bit..

#

enjoy the fruits of your labor so far

So learn.
Learning takes time.
if you cram all the things all at once, you'll get overwhelmed

I started 2020-21.
used the majority of 2020 being locked down, studying the hobby, waiting for parts.
2021, still in lock down, still waiting for parts, sim training. still learning.
got some parts, started building, still studying..

still learning
and still learning, 'til now

warm narwhal if i have the backup, why it is so risk?

because you're updating from a very old firmware version

the changes from what you currently have vs the current version is MASSIVE.
and might as well start from scratch..
i.e. not use the backup and have it as just backup (so if ever you felt you can't configure the new firmware, you can reflash the old version you currently have and set your backup for it)

you seem to have figured things out on your own.. so GL..
I'm stepping away..

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 1:11 PM

#

nooo :c

#

im just showing like other guys are updating also the tyro129, and it is working, i mean is very old... but it have updates

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 1:13 PM

#

I never said it won't work..

what I'm not sure is if YOU can make it work on your own without hand-holding..

#

IF you think you can update it without my intervention, go ahead..

warm narwhal Sep 30, 2023, 1:14 PM

#

going slow and whit patience and ur experience + youtube i think i can do it

quartz apex Sep 30, 2023, 1:14 PM

what can i say,, i just want to show u of im interested in this hobby i want to learn the maximum posible, is better if i fuck one drone of 2016 than a new drone

#

where i should learn to update a firmware in a new drone of 200-300$ ? whit the risk of fuck it? or in one drone of 150$ ?

#

ill go get info about update, and probably monday i will try do it, just a question if i update the fc i have to configurate later again the module and receiver? i should disconect everything of the FC?

you do not need to reconfigure your receiver and tx module/radio.. updating the fc firmware has nothing to do with those..
what you will need to focus is getting your flight controller reconfigured so it works with those devices..
no need to disconnect anything as well..
