Should it take over 10 minutes to stop saying Bad GPS POS, even though it has 8 sat’s
Why does this happen. See log
Are you in an indoors environment or have the GPS covered in any way?
If the voltage in the rechargeable button battery in the gps is too low, you will get this fault. You can reset it in the config/tuning tab (mission planner).
Or you can charge the battery using 5v from an esc, like in the pic.
I keep getting the same, or similar.
I have 7 sats, HDOP 2.05, MP shows a 3D fix and I have solid blue on the APM, but MP keeps telling me “pre-arm bad gps pos” and will not let me arm.
Sat there for 20 minutes and gave up in the end.
Had a quick look in the config/tuning tab but cannot see how to reset. maybe I’m blind as well as dumb. Any pointers please?
To stop "bad gps"
open mission planner, config tuning tab, standard paramas , arming check, disable , write paramas,arming check, enable, write paramas , refresh paramas
all done.
