Hi!
I have 2 completely different planes (also different FC: from Matek, Omnibus), both running ArduPlane V4.0.9. Beside running the same ArduPlane release, I can’t get rid of a red EKF Status on both of them:
Usually I have between 15 and 25 sats, but the red status doesn’t go away even after waiting 20 or more minutes.
I already did a complete accelerometer calibration multiple times. Compass is disabled.
Yesterday I was a bit impatient and did a manual override and had a wonderful maiden flight with one of the planes. But I wouldn’t like to do this again as I’m aware this could lead to serious issues.
Hmh, I’ve never had this problem on other planes and earlier Arduplane releases.
Also I don’t plan to always have a laptop with me on the field for manually overriding. Normally I’m arming my planes via a transmitter switch. Is there some parameter to skip that arming check?
GPS is a brand new Matek SAM-M8Q in each of the planes. At least this would be something, what both planes have in common, too. Here is a DataFlash Log from yesterdays flight.
I realized, the above log doesn’t contain the pre arm messages. So I just created a new log with parameter LOG_DISARMED set to 1: Logfile
Somehow, this log seem to contain some garbage after timestamp 19:00:00 - just ignore this part (it looks like my previous flight log).
