Hey ground station users! Just picked up a 2.4 ghz data link and use my iPad for the ground station. I updated all the firmware for the datalink. (air end, ground end, and BTU). I installed the air end inside the shell of the phantom, and put the two antennas through through the vents on the side of the phantom and put them at a 90 degree angle. (The best I could)
I went out to test the ground station app and I did a 4 waypoint box at 100 feet and I lost connection with the "air end" by the second waypoint. All the videos I've watched online show the drone flying the entire mission and it never losses connection with the ground station. I know the data links range is limited, but I lost connection at 100 feet. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I've heard a few other people talk about loss of connection, so this will be a good place to help each other out and explain our antenna placement and if it works or not.
