Moose, thanks for the URL. I will look at it as soon as I get the NAZA-M mode issue resolved.
I watched the suggested video for implementing the NAZA-M mode, which I thought was really good. I thought I did everything suggested and things looked right. IOC was On.
However, when I went out to fly, my Phantom did not respond as expected. It was pretty breezy, but the Phantom could handle it.
I put S2 (left) in the down position for Home Lock and S1 (right) in the top position for GPS. I had 10 satellites, I believe.
First, I assume S1 and S2 work independently, that is I can fly in GPS mode at the same time as I am in Home Lock, right?
I kept the Phantom pretty low just in case things did not go well.
It flew in the GPS mode fine, even in the breezy conditions. That is, it hovered when I released the sticks. But when I rotated, the Phantom, and attempted to fly back to me, forward continued to be in the direction the nose was pointing.
I landed, and cycled the power on the Phantom and put S2 into the Course Lock position and took off again. At first I thought this mode worked, but trying it a second and third time, it did not appear to work. GPS held the Phantom in a stable condition but the IOC functions did not work.
I also tried changing modes in the air. Can I do this?
I have not checked the NAZA-M settings prior to writing this post, but I am assuming they will show things are properly set up.
Here are my current thoughts regarding why things did not go right.
• Is it possible that the home lock was never achieved? I had green lights.
• I did not re-calibrate after switching modes. I believe the video said this was not necessary.
• Again I assumed S1 can be in GPS mode – up.
• I did not recalibrate my compass.
I will study the subject video again and go through the steps stated, but I really would appreciate hearing any ideas and suggestions from you all.
To those who commented re. the actual subject of this thread, I plan to come back to it, once I get this NAZA-M mode issue resolved.
As always, thanks in advance.
PS Should I start a new thread for NAZA-M?
