Hi! I just startet out with pixhawk and am trying to get tower to work on my tablet but I´m not getting any coordinates transmitted.
I know i have a GPS fix because tower correctly indicates the fix with about 10 sats and HDOP around 1.2 . But the Lat/Long widget stays empty. Touching the arrow icon on the left i get the error “No drone location available”.
I´m running APM:copter v3.3.3. on the pixhawk and connect via 915mhz radio link on an OTG micro usb adapter.
Am I missing something or is this a bug?
EDIT: Never mind, problem solved (more or less). Had a chance to fly outside today and everything worked. I assume that tower only shows you gps coordinates and a home icon if the fix is very very good. I´m not shure what the threshold is, but I had a HDOP < 0.7
What happens when you arm the quad? It should update the location and set the home location. I know sometimes for me it will only show the location once I arm.
I have seen this too. If the GPS lock is not good enough a home location is not set so this message is shown. After arming and flying for a while it did get a good GPS lock and home was set at that point in the air. The home location then shows up in Tower.
