So, I do a fun waypoint mission sometimes to my sisters house about 2 miles, takes only about 13 minutes at whatever fast speed I have set it .
Now here is my major concern, I noticed right away I wasn't getting my normal 14-18 satellites rather just sitting at 8-9, I figured after waiting 5 minutes I would just get more at altitude.
I get a few more around 11-12, start my mission and off she goes, now thanks to my antenna I pretty much have signal the whole way, unless I'm lazy and just sit on my lawn chair which is what I did this night.
I stood up at about the point I knew it was half way back and reconnected, I saw everything was good on the video/map, when all of a sudden I saw the yellow ATTI mode on the top for a good few seconds, thinking WTH, I might have noticed the sat. count lowered a little too, (I forget was just worried about the atti mode)
It went back to GPS mode but here is the issue, the **** drone just sat there, it completely stopped and never moved again.
I mean what in the world is going on here? I mean technically 3 satellites should be enough for basic navigation, but even if it loses satellites a few of them, and regains them it shouldn't just stop the mission, and if does it should resume, this thing saves all information, every single split second, it knows telemetry information by the micro meter, I really think this is something Litchi needs to look at.
side note, not to spin the topic, but the reason for my lowered sat count, I realized after I came back something new was on my drone, that was the polar-pro light kit, first time using it.
Big ol' battery on the top of the drone is obviously blocking reception some.
