CX4 WooKong GPS Problems, plus Spektrum DX8 Failsafe settings.

While we are here, what are other CX4 users with WKM using as their gain values? I'm in Brisbane QLD, with stock 100% across the board and no issues.

Tahoe, I'm using the DX8, it has both the Smartsafe and Failsafe, but when you bind the failsafe settings, what keeps the original (none failsafe) settings from being overwrote? When I do this binding, I lose connection with the TM1000 Telemetry connection and the only way to get it back is to rebind and then I lose the failsafe settings.

Thanks for all the help the link you sent is very useful.

DJI Wookong M - Failsafe set up for DX8 with the AR8000 and TM1000

When setting up the failsafe you bind everything as normal first , then set up on the TX screen in Wookong Assistant for failsafe so adjust travel on throttle so it goes over 10% and adjust whatever channel you have assigned for Manual / Atti / GPS Atti so it lights up in failsafe section this is usually Aux 1 or Aux2
Then power everything off , and insert bind plug again you can remove the TM1000 at this point ..
Power back up and wait for the receiver to start flashing then remove the bind plug (it is important you remove bind plug before powering on and pressing bind on the radio)
Now Power on Transmitter and press bind at the same time and this will pre store your failsafe settings but wont affect the original binding .
Then all you need to do is plug back in the TM1000 and go back into TX screen on the WKM config screen and take throttle back down and adjust 3 way switch etc
Once this is done you can while connected to WKM assistant switch off the transmitter and you should see the slider for throttle move to where you set it and the slider should also move into failsafe .

Hope this helps

I wookong became a problem. Atti-mode works well, but whenever I switch the GPS it starts moving in an anti-Clockwise direction, making larger and larger circles in the air. None of the settings were not changed. Calibration of the tried, without success. At the same time does not work go to home. Is the GPS or compass damaged? Who can help?

Vdrone you have to give us all config info and some photos of your setup for us to judge what might be going wrong. At the moment making any judgement would be like reading out of the glass bowl.

Where are you located Videodrone ?
If you are in South Hemisphere, the problem is coming from your GPS. It is not damaged, it just doen't work in SH and nobody knows why. I live in NZ and have exactly the same issue.
DJI is aware of the problem and they will supply shortly a new GPS (V2) device. I have been contacting my dealer and hope to get one soon.

Well, you are definitely in North Hemisphere.
The problem you describe here is exactly what we have in SH. It's also known as the "toilet bowl" effect.
You can try to do the following :
Off set your GPS unit about 20° on left or right.
In my case, It didn't make any difference, but some people have had real improvement.
