Can't get into GPS mode

[Flydigital]

When I power up my Telemetry indicates I'm in GPS, just for a second and then it jumps to ATTI and stays there. The GPS switch won't make it go back.

This is a new, non-DJI (but advertised as compatible) GPS unit. Do I have a faulty component or is there something I can try to get it working?

DJI F550 Naza v2

but advertised as compatible

advertised by who?

Non-DJI mixed with a DJI. Sounds like a bad idea.

Here is the offending article!.....and numerous ones on eBay advertised as being compatible.

These chaps have one: http://www.buildyourowndrone.co.uk/dji-naza-m-v2-gps-module.html

I don't like the look of that eBay one. Not heard of anyone using it to be honest.

Thanks. Yes it seemed to show up as I was setting up then dropped off once I had it all set in place. Clearly a mistake going for the cheap option!

I've got a Naza controller and a "compatible" non-DJI GPS with *no* problems (works great, actually). Have you tested the switch you are using for GPS/Atti mode while connected to the DJI configuration software? I had a heck of a time setting the curves/functions on the switch input to hit the modes I wanted in the DJI configuration. Make sure that the switch is functioning correctly there, and you'll probably be able to see in the configuration tool if the GPS is somehow coming disconnected.

This one seems to work fine with my NAZA
