Thanks Randy! I will open up new threads next time, good to know!
1.3" Oled works as well.
DIYMall 1.3 Oled
Iāll have a 3D holder ready by morning.
Hope to get some good flight and testing in this weekendā¦nice weather is due.
I was guessing that during calibration Pixhawk do thatā¦i was wrong than,for sure it will help me with new X8 wich have 2 gps on side left and rightā¦
But this raises another question;I remember some times ago i asked is it safe to use 2 GPS and i think Randy answered it is okā¦so i wrote that in Pixhawk 2 page on Facebook but soon some people tell me they still have bad experienceā¦
"Jason Schreiber;I was using an M8N as my main with the Reach RTK GPS as secondary. GPS set to Autoselect, both GPS1 and GPS2 on auto. The behaviour was so bad I had to disable GPS2. Reach was between FIX and Float and M8N was saying it was in Type_fix 4 (DGPS). Reach corrections were not done through mission planner but on a separate system."
He donāt have logs at the moment but say that copter was almost unusable with that combinationā¦it could be due to RTK gps involvedā¦and my copter still waiting for PowerCube to power everythingā¦
So is it safe or not?i can not risk this timeā¦
Hi rmackay9,
Upgrading to 3.5-rc1, is it mandatory to put the position of the imu and gps?
Thanks.
No, it isnāt mandatory, it will work the same as before if you donāt.
If you have any suggestion on how to figure out the GPS position in the frame automatically we are all ears 
Regarding dual-gps, Iāll redirect you to my answer in another thread: Dual GPS: Must Units Be Identical?

Hi Randy, I actually managed to install Mission Planner, but the weird thing is, I cannot find text icons for choosing beta testing firmware or custom firmware. The screenshot of Mission Planner is below. I am using windows 10. Do you know what might be the issue here? There should be text icons like āLoad Custom Firmwareā close to the āForce PX4 Bootloaderā.
You need to set the planner to advanced
Config/Tuning - Planner - Layout
Possible Config issue since updating to 3.5 i am almost certain that the Pixhawk 2 was not seeing the external compass. If I calibrate the compass using Mission Planner Mag Calibration I get values for mag 1 and 2 but 2 is way out of range. If I calibrate the compass using on-board Mag Calibration again i get 2 values both a sensible and compass 2 has almost the same values as compass 1 using the Mission Planner Mag Calibration. I donāt know how to best verify the results
@klytech If you are using a QGC daily build and installing a āDeveloperā build, QGC has been updated to the new ArduPilot firmware drops where a single Copter firmware runs all the Copter variants. There are no longer variants for Quad/Octa and so forth.
PixRacer RC no calibration.
I updated a quad with PixRacer clone from 3.4.5 to 3.5-RC1 with following problem:
After Update following messages are shown in Mission Planner:
PreArm: Compass not calibrated - disappear after calibration
PreArm: RC not calibrated
PreArm: Roll not configured
But RC not calibrated does not disappear after multiple calibration of RC and what does āRoll not configuredā mean?
After downgrade to 3.4.5 and calibration of RC and compass everything works again.
Another strange point: Roll and Yaw direction is opposite between 3.4.5 and 3.5-RC1
I have just updated to 3.5.1 . But I donāt see onboard display among optional hardware?
Nevermore I found it. Thanks anyway.
That means your RC roll values havenāt been saved, what values do you have in RC1_MIN and RC1_MAX?
@mfbs17 Iām not sure what you mean. Are you talking about Mission Planner? What would you expect to see there?
@OXINARF
RC1_MIN: 1100, RC1_MAX: 1900
All other values are also in same range accept RC3_MIN:1020 - Throttle
Thatās exactly the issue. You have the default values. If those are indeed your min/max values, youāll need to save them to another value and then back to 1100/1900.
@rmackay9 Since we have a pre-arm check for the RC min/max being configured, should we default them to 0? Iāve seen this issue of having 1100/1900 as the actual min/max before and it is very inconvenient to have to write other values first.
Did a test run on a Pixhawk 1 board and had several issues.
GPS no longer works. LEA 6H with compass.
Had to redo compass calibration.
Copter flew ok but wanted to fly forward and not back. Had to use full stick pitch backwards to get it fly back.
Landed and disarmed. Then took off again and all was back to normal.

@OXINARF: yes the default values of my graupner RC are exactly 1100/1900.
Changed RC1-8_MIN values to 1000 and made RC calibration without success -> same error message.
2nd try: set RC1-8_MIN and RC1-8_MAX to 0 and RC calibration was successful. -> not understandable for standard-user.
PixRacer NEO-6M GPS issue
I noticed a similar issue at my Pixracer:
At APM 3.4.5 Missionplanner Message:
u-blox 0 HW: 00040007 SW: 7.03 (45969)
GPS 0: detected as u-blox at 115200 baud
At APM 3.5-RC1:
GPS 0: detected as u-blox at 115200 baud
GPS 0: detected as u-blox at 115200 baud
GPS 0: detected as u-blox at 115200 baud
and Status: GPS: no GPS - for a second the status is shown correct
A initialisation problem may be the reason: when GPS is connected with 3.4.5 and updated to 3.5-RC1 the GPS is recognized correctly and works. After power cycle GPS will not work.
PixHawk NEO-7M GPS
Works with 3.5-RC1:
u-blox 0 HW: 00070000 SW: 1.00 (59842)
GPS 0: detected as u-blox at 115200 baud
The Spektrum Receiver has RC values they differ from 1100/1900 and does not need recalibration.
