Anyone been using these radio links and GCS - Ground Control System successfully with a simulator or real RC transmitter or joystick with any success? Can't seem to get my joystick to work with it despite much effort. Seems to require a specific Logitech Extreme 3D Pro...... other and earlier...

For those who fear losing their MR while first using GCS there is a near firmware upgrade available today which includes an option to restrict the WKM flying distance horizontally as well as the previous vertical limit. Regarding the use of a Joystick or Interlink dual joystick controller...

Good points...... I find it a challenge in the simulation mode and hope to get a joystick working instead but my current joystick will not function correctly. The way I see it this is a two man operation for initial flights and the best location for the PC would be inside a van where light can...

I cannot confirm that..... I have had only one flight with the WKM so far..... it's too cold now to fly and I am busy with Ground Station Control simulations. My first flight with the WKM was perfect but I didn't push it hard because I don't trust the slow fly props. I programmed it in the same...

Iris..... I believe that is correct. There are only 6 channels for escs and unless F1, F2 can be reconfigured to support escs by some future version of Assistant and the MCU sw/fw Octo will not be supported. Guess they had to draw a line on features somewhere.

I might be getting my wires crossed but the WKM's IMU has a hole to allow in ambient air pressure for it's onboard barometer. And I assume the NAZA does it all the same way..... Can't imagine how the NAZA could determine it's altitude without a vent hole or port for an internal barometer/altimeter.

SRBell....if interested...... see my additional comments on the GCS antennas etc. at the following location: http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?8890-Any-DJI-Ground-Station-experts&p=88635&viewfull=1#post88635

I am not an expert..... just getting into GCS now with my new WKM...... But I have a few comments to share. Setting up the software and radio link for me was a bit problematic but it's all resolved now. Even though the 1st waypoint is free..... you still have to get the WKM serial number...

I have both and both work very well..... The reason I bought the WKM was because it offers a stronger "future migration path"..... meaning one can extend it's capabilities much further both now and in the future. The NAZA is Hobby grade with has finite limits right out of the box. The WKM is...

Will do that.... Was quite a thrill seeing the Hex drop 30 feet then suddenly slow down just in time for a safe landing. Will cover Naza but not the barometer port!!!

Does anyone here know if the same applies to the WKM, i.e., cover the left side of the WKM controller to prevent sunlight from affecting altitude during Attitude and/or Attitude/GPS? Also in the case of the WKM, the IMU is in a separate box...... so which box would need to be covered? For now I...

Thanks all..... the feedback is helpful for the most part. But it seems the rotor shaft is jammed into the "bell" so tight that it will never come out. That motor hit the concrete floor hard once during MR testing. I applied heat to the prop end of the bell using a soldering iron in an attempt...

You may have done this already and I don't have time to read the complete thread but...... the symptoms you describe occured to me as well but were entirely resolved by turning the GPS/compass from dead ahead to account for the angle of declination between magnetic and true north. but also gusty...

But how do you get this motor apart?????? Removed the setscrew at one and and the circ-clip at the other end and it still will not come apart. Can't get inside to see if there is an issue or even replace the bearing without getting it apart.

The manual suggests much better radio range link by keeping the Ground Station radio antenna vertical and as high as possible. But the USB cable is also very short...... adding an extender cable will reduce the power to the radio as there is only 5 volts to begin with. On the otherhand, adding...

IMHO... I am hearing from multiple sources that there are a lot of professional photographer's testing and working with the newer GoPro's so it appears to have earned it's place depending on the situation. Moore's Law..... more powerful electronic tools that are lighter and more compact and...

Yes.... Colin.....more detail on the Ground Control Station would be most helpful...... It's a bit scary to have to give up control with a conventional RC transmitter and switchover to a keypad and mouse!!!!! Also I am surprised that the manual suggests disconnection of all escs and the GPS so...

Yes.... sounds good. I have the 900Mhz Ground Control Station functioning but need to go through simulation training for a few days first..... Seems I have to take my MR apart so that I can remove all the output connections to the escs as well as the GPS. If I am reading the manual correctly so...

Kloner..... I am very interested in the LIDAR capability and hardware as my long range plans are to do waypoint missions for the oil and gas pipelines in our area and need to see natural gas leaks on the lines light earth overburden..... LIDAR makes it quite visible but I was under the...
