I've been wanting to play around with the semi-autonomous features that betaflight has to offer, and then use the things that I learn to go on to different firmware like iNav to mess around more and more with those types of features. With this current state of life, I finally have the opportunity to mess around with those settings, and it's been a blast - even if it didn't go perfectly. Betaflight GPS rescue mode allows betaflight drones to have a *basic* return to home functionality, and I take it out to a field to test it out.

Make sure you change the failsafe in BF from "drop" to "rescue" also helps to turn the sanity check off while testing so the distance limits are turned off.

@sullycrash 4 года назад

Your not a failure. You have made some of the most entertaining videos, and I have learned lots from you.

@Georgewrigley 4 года назад

I must say love these types of test videos, so interesting. I hope you manage to get it to do the fail safe RTH. Great video and great flying. Cheers and stay safe buddy. Total lockdown here in the UK! :)

@doctordrone3445 4 года назад

Nurk, I really admire how honest your videos are. You're not afraid to show us your failures which makes your videos very real. Anyone who builds and flies drones knows we make plenty of mistakes, that's the only way we learn & evolve. Love your work.

@Blackwolf2111 4 года назад

An absolute great video Nurk. Watching the way you behave the humble type of character you display connects to the average Joe out here..The drive to keep on pushing even after a few failures shows the commitment you express in your videos.. I’m glad you did not edit these parts, because It really reminds us that try and try again to keep learning through the process.. The long walks to find our drones and hoping not to see them destroyed or even finding them is a treat!! Always love watching the human aspect you give us.. The highs and the lows.. It all matters!!! Great Job!!!

@Mainekarter2004 4 года назад

Held your own With Neil and the gang! Great job...If there is anyone in the community that was spot on for that appearance it was you! I often fly out of video range and hit my gps return.. It's that reliable for me.. I do use Matek f-722's which have a great barometer.. And for best GPS I use the larger modules. They hook up better and faster, and are much more accurate when you toss the quad around..

@Mr748Dave 4 года назад

Paul, all your videos are fantastic. Your production skill makes the video so easy and natural to watch. And of course great flying skills! I believe I know what the issue was with the failsafe. I went back in the video and your failsafe is set to stage 1. I believe this needs to be set to stage 2 so it can use the selected GPS function. I suspected this because when you used the RTH switch, everything worked perfectly. Great video!

@TheDansindan 4 года назад

Just maidened my first 7" GPS rig. Very addictive! I set it up just as Bardwell recommended in his GPS vid. Works like a charm.

This is the best of both worlds! I cant imagine "Fail safe-ing" as an FPV Quad but instead of falling out of the sky just safely returning to you automatically like a DJI! Awesome.

Can it ever be frustrating to be a pioneer! paving a way for others is needed, but man can it be challenging. I was going to say how easy you had it with BF's new GUI easiness, but bless your gps, when you got in the field you had many of the same challenges the rest of us Pioneers have not been envious for some time. Keep at Bro!

Aweosme content man! Love the raw uncut stuff. It’s not always rainbows and it’s good to see the professionals go through the same as us beginners lol

@JavisHD 4 года назад

I messed with gps rescue a lot, still not something I’m comfortable leaning on though. Some things I’ve noticed: Even with an FC w/barometer the altitude control is quite bad The return altitude default is to go 15m + max altitude of flight or your set altitude (whichever is greater) There is what feels like a permanent change in the PID values until you restart the FC after you used rescue, don’t try Acro until after a land and unplug @19:58 pretty sure if you failsafe twice without a reboot you get disarm on 2nd failsafe. @24:23 100m + descent distance parameter is the min distance before gps rescue will engage. You can set the descent distance to the min value, which then causes the steepest descent, but most situations we retake control long before @26:06 No idea here! Maybe that radio sends a disarm when it’s powered off gracefully?? I would really like to know why this didn’t work this attempt... Please keep working on this! I know it’s frustrating, so much effort to figure it out when you have long walks and/or repairs after failed attempts 😆 It’s extremely valuable info though seriously! Thank you!!

@cenabitednbfpv587 4 года назад

I'm wondering were you simply not far enough away? When u were at over 1200 feet distance it seemed to work, but I'm crying thats a beautiful frame friend... n she can take a beating! Thanks nurk! N beta devs!

@ChristopherF_1971 4 года назад

The pretty sure after second failsafe it will definitely disarm and you can’t rearm either. Ask me how I no🥴

@patjohn775 4 года назад

Just curious.. I’ve never built or flown a drone, but I have programmed gps sensors on microprocessors. I can get fairly accurate altitude from gps if I have enough satellite locks. Also, why not use lidar or sonar to assist height measurements?

@JavisHD 4 года назад

Pat John I don’t think there’s any issue getting accurate altitude measurements, 11+ satellites seems pretty capable, and the onboard barometer seems to to give even more stable readings. The problem seems to be betaflight guidance code ability to combine pitch and thrust values to achieve a vector while getting sensor data that’s probably very lumpy. As far as combining more sensors, I don’t think lidar is helpful until you want accuracy down to centimeters, which we really don’t need. Barometer is cheap and does everything we need sensor wise, the gps rescue code just needs some more TLC from the betaflight devs

@patjohn775 4 года назад

Jon Davis that seems like an easy problem to solve. Even on arduino you can handle gps updates a dozen times a second. They probably tone the refresh rates down on gps/barometer to conserve power during normal operation as their is no need for that much data. They could bump up sensor refresh during gps recovery and if there’s processor constraints maybe tone down things like controller inputs from antenna

@daveopie1234 4 года назад

I’ve been thinking of doing something similar. Looking forward to following your progress with GPS on drones.

@Shanewildnz 4 года назад

Great video mate. I had this problem with a 7in I built up. Was running the full digital DJI system (radio as well) pushed it to the limit and lost contact. The quad never came back. Checked the last footage that was recorded on the googles and headed that direction. Luckily for me I found it as the Hellgate buzzer was working away and got it from down a steep bank in amounts bushes. That buzzer saved my $1000 drone. What I did do was play back the footage from the air unit and found when it lost radio contact it did failsafe 1 and then failsafe 2 did kick in as the motors started up again but not enough grunt to get it up. Hence back into betaflight and fount that the setting for the throttle in fail sage was set too auto which just resets to 0 throttle. I have set it to hold now but have not had the balls to rest it out. It's a bugger you have had the same issue as I was hoping all would be well. But looking at @Joshua Bardwell comments it looks like it's just not that reliable. Great video and thanks. 🤙🤙

@IshamPadron 4 года назад

It is fascinating! I remember testing it and having the same impression. I was up pretty high once and my Nirvana shut off completely. Should have checked the batteries beforehand. The quad stayed in the air and pretty much kept its position. I grabbed a new set of 18650 and replaced them, turned the TX on and was able to gain control. Scary as hell.

@mikev4012 4 года назад

Nice to see this video, I built a P399 dead cat for a friend of mine to do exactly what you are trying. First go around the GPS wasn't working so great. I think i had the GPS on not a good UART it would drop sats alot and the arrow to home was not consistent. Then on one GPS rescue the quad disarmed and pancaked upside down on the only small strip of hot top in the area messed up some motors and trying to fix it the ESC smoked. Not to be done with it, he got a new set of motors ESC & a FC. I rebuilt it and it seems to hold sats now and the arrow home seems to be more solid now, haven't had much more time to do more testing. We haven't tried the fail safe rescue mode yet, trying to make sure the switch activated GPS rescue is working solid first. Hope you get this figured out we could use some help before he trashes the quad or worse looses it. Good luck Nurk

Haha, wow, the drone left a mark in the field, literally. Amazing how tough they are nowadays. I always think it is in 100 pieces when I crash mine, and often it is just a prop, broken wire or the battery dislodged. I am amazed it survived 300+ ft, even though it is soft ground, THAT IS ONE HECK OF A DROP!

@cJhudanich 4 года назад

I really liked this video. I've never tried GPS rescue. The space isn't available for me, but the telmetery of GPS is really nice. I read all the docs on the wiki, i don't use a compass and the distance data isn't there for me at armed to work. Your transmitter is hot seems like it accepted that last one cammand before shutting off. Keep the vids coming.

However, U do. Whether that's good or bad, I'll let U know how that works out for me... 😘

@xtkfpv5306 4 года назад

This is very cool stuff thank you Nurk. It may not work perfectly for failsafe scenario but in the event that you just loose video it would be a nice insurance policy to have. At least if you do crash you have a record of the last known GPS position to help find the quad in the event that it is in a tree or wedged in some rocks or burried in the snow a half mile away.

@twinturbostang 4 года назад

Look forward to seeing progress on this. I have gps rescue on my 7" quad, and like you can enable it via toggle switch and it works. But I haven't had the courage yet to do a full power-off on the Tx yet! :-) For your setup, it's gota be a configuration issue. Either betaflight gps rescue stages or Crossfire failsafe settings. BTW, get a Vifly Finder 2 buzzer. Well worth it!!

@stefanjacobs2352 4 года назад

Hi Nurk, A few friends and I have been playing around with these settings for some time, I am guessing that you might need to have a look at your sanity checks ie min distance for gps rescue to "kick in" also consider activating the osd function that show if GPS rescue is available or not. Hope that helps a little. Also something that helped us was to drop min Satelites to 5 as we had a lot of GPS drop outs from 15 down to 6.
