Nice Video! thanks for picking up the GNSS Topic and as a result reacting to comments that are mentioning this subject. I was not able to tinker with the new INAV Version. But you got a good summary to the GNSS topic. Summary - just test what GNSS System will stick and run with it. The more GNSS System are on ->More Sat -> better performance. Its nice that Inav is crosschecking these setting and will reset it when something is not working. Technically GPS and GLONASS should work fine. Most Hobby Grade Recaiver can work with these 2 Systems. Known as 2G Recaivers. 4G Recaiver should take all 4 GNSS. There are 3G Recaivers, but its rare. When you have a 4G Recaiver and it will not take all 4 GNSS, then maybe there is still a bug or something in INAV. Or the UBLOX7 Protokoll got a problem. Or the channel size on the Recaiver s to smal and would overload the memory. As I said, i did not look into it for now. A very good notion from you is the loading time on first use. The Almanach from all possible GNSS had to be loaded. That can take up to 15 min (worse case) Normally it take a few minutes. After that the Almanach is in the permanent memory and will be appled and updated on the fly by regular use. When you put your Recaiver in the cabinet for 2-3 Month, the recaiver had to check the Date on the almanach and had to reload it - resulting in a wait time again. The Error image for a missing Almanach is pretty simple. He will not show a Sattelite Count, even when he is recaiving signals. Sometimes one Almanach is laoded like GPS and he will show 6 Sattelites and a bit later a secound GNSS Almanach is loaded and the Sat count will go up. However. Good Video. I will look into the new INAV Version soon. my AR Wing Pro has to be updated :) Best Regards David

Hey Darren will be seeing you on Patreon again soon. Back from a long hiatus! Great video-I was wondering why the GNSS choices were going back to unselected! I believe you are not far from Portsmouth-we have a grandson studying law in London. I will visit him sometime this year and would like to go flying with you! Ron

Didn't even know I had that problem! But I did hahah thanksss!

Thanks, Hope your feeling better soon! when is the next Wing Talk?

nice thanks for the video...

Bedankt

Once again another very useful back to basics video- Happy New Year and thanks for all you do for the INAV project

BRILLIANT! Thanks so much for posting this video Darren. Since migrating fron INAV 6 to INAV 7, my GPS functionality has not been as good on my 7" quad. With INAV 6, I routinely had around 20 satellites locked and my position hold was really quite stable. When I switched to INAV 7 (and the newest configurator 7.0.1) I rarely got even 10 satellites and my GPS hold has been pretty wonky. I thought the problem might be that I was not searching all satellites that might be available so I tried to turn all tabs on but had the cluster reset issue that you described upon save & reboot... 🤔I was stumped and was considering going back to INAV 6. So I took your advice and activated the UBLOX 7 tab as well as the first two constellation tabs (EU and CN but not RU). I saved and rebooted and VOILA! I am showing 15 satellites INDOORS at my computer! I can't wait to recalibrate the magnetometer and do a flight test tomorrow. Your info was a godsend. I was beating my head against the wall. I should note that when I initially hit save & reboot, after making the changes, I got a hardware health alarm and NO GPS alarm 😮. I actually thought I had damaged the GPS module somehow but powering down the module and powering it back up cured the hardware health alarm and I acquired 15 satellites almost instantly. I should also note that I am in the USA (Arizona) and activating the EU tab and the CN tab works here too. Thanks again for the GREAT information Darren. I hope you have a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2024. Happy flying amigo.

Thanks

your video save me some hairs, as a first time inav user, setting up the all these sensors are a little more daunting than betaflight. i only just manage to calibrate the lidar, took me awhile to calibrate the gyro (thinking only need one calibration, but later realize you need all axis calibration), then when comes to gps, i cant get the life of me turn on and get some sats. been reviewing my tx rx and thought of my soldering skills are quite bad. sub

Thanks for clarifying. It's good to see my own settings confirmed by you😊

Happy New Year Darren, Thanks for the tip on Zip file and the information about GPS, another informative video , hope you feel better soon and I wish you a healthy and prosperous 2024! 😁

Thanks, Darren for another great video. Happy New Year - hope 2024 is a good one!!

HNY Dazza :D

I wish you and your family a Happy New Year 🎉🍾🥂👍

Thanks for clearing that up i was wondering why my GPS kept turning the toggle switches off on reboot when everything was switched on. Happy New Year 🎉

As always very helpfull. Thanks! One question, could you do a VTOL start to finish video. Printing a Hornet (Titan Dynamics) and need the help :)

Perhaps it would be helpful if invalid constellations were greyed out directly in the configurator. Otherwise helpful as always, many thanks and a happy new year!

Hi Darren. Thanks so much for your informative videos. One question if I may, I have always used Ardupilot for mission planning so when I go to the flying field all that is neccessary is to arm the plane with my radio transmitter then switch to AUTO and then just toss the plane into the air. I never have to fly the plane or even touch the sticks . The plane flies the mission and lands back at my feet. So is it this easy on INAV?

i'm having problem with fixing gps, using Bn880. same quad having no gps issue in arfupilot. any guessing problem?

Hi, I was scrolling through the comment section and didn't see this question anywhere. Before I arm I make sure I have at least 6 satellites as you mentioned. When I arm and take off everything seems to work (ground speed, distance from home, latitude and longitude, etc) only the home direction arrow doesn't do anything. It just shows a "-" instead of an arrow. Any idea what this could be? I am using a m10 module on a 7" quad and an o3 air unit with the v2 goggles and I use the BFHDCOMPAT mode in the OSD tab. Thanks in advance!

Hello. I tried to reproduce the problem and it didn't work out. Which GNSS module do you use?

Bonjour, excusez moi pour la question un peut bête, pour INAV 7 comment fait on pour avoir NAV Poshold ??? Merci 😔

Hi Darren. Thanks for the headsup. Unfortunately l no longer get a satfix since upgrading to inav7. Everything shows as ok in inav gps tab. I have a fast blue flashing led on gps module (beitian 220). But no sat locks at all. On inav 4 i would get 15 easily. Have I missed something here. Do I need to play around with baudrates?

inav dose not work with adrino pilot misson planner any more that sucks the drone dose not show up on the maps any more

Hello Darren, I'm experiencing I cannot find RTH on the modes list, GPS is working and activated correctly, not even the new cruise mode... Should I re flash the FC ? (SpeedyBee f405 mini)

Thanks
