I believe rhumba99 got his mod from ebay already preloaded with sketch.

Yes I bought from this seller in ebay with preloaded sketch: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53...757633299%2526 I´m trying contact with seller, but no answer what can I do now?
Thanks!

Hi, i just had a Drone2 . I really want the GPS mod but still want to play with my Wifi a little longer. May i ask if i apply this mod, can the Wifi still control or receive signal?
Thank you ^^

Yes, just unplug the mod.

You need to disconnect the cable that goes from the mod to a socket at the bottom of the Drone.

any of you guys know if its possible to tweak the autoland out of range, so it starts to autoland but if it comes back into range it will regain control?

As far as I remember you cannot break the Drone's land procedure. It need to land to be able to take off again.

How about two Land modes; one with steering? I recently had my D1 land in a neighbour's garden and that would have been useful.

1) When you select Land with a switch etc. and the drone is where you want it to be, just as it does currently.
2) When the Tx is out of range or the battery is too low or any other 'AutoLand' condition - with two sub types.

In the case of a low battery, Type 2) could apply TS_DN at a steady rate until it gets some feedback from the Ultrasound that it is within a few metres of the ground when it sends the 'Land' signal to the firmware as usual.

It is desirable to be able to steer while the Drone is landing to avoid trees, ponds, power lines, steer into your own property etc. even if you have no more control over the throttle, just as happens with many of the Mini/Micro Quads on the market when the battery gets too low to fly.

In the case of out of range or Tx failure problems only, you wouldn't have any steering control until back in range either because it lowered the height enough, or you were running towards your drone frantically trying to steer it, when it would start to work properly again, possibly after a set period of a number of seconds to make sure it is really in range.

The 'Flat Battery' version would not allow you to regain throttle control and the flashing LEDs for the two sub modes could be different to indicate what it was doing. Maybe a single Green cycling around the other three Reds like a spaceship when the battery isn't flat (ANIMS 14-17)?

To also make it more obvious that 'normal' flying was not available, the Drone stick inputs could be reduced to something like the 'Normal' or 'Easy' values to indicate that the Drone was in Buzz Lightyear mode and was not flying, but 'falling with style'.

Once the firmware is told to land, it will land last time I checked. Try to do it with your iDev, maybe something changed. You can experiment with the MERX macro in the sketch, it delays the 'auto land' because of RX failure for up to 8.3 seconds. If it recovers before that, the drone will never know. Beware there are some 'auto land' initiations that are done by the drone firmware that can not be stopped (low battery).

I know this has been asked before, so be gentle with me

The new main board I bought, came with FW 1.10.14....is there an EASY way to downgrade to 1.10.11?

If you have iDevice use FirmwareManager

But could/might you implement a 'soft' landing mode with steering for other than 'low battery' before you send 'Land' to the firmware for the last few metres?

How is that different from just flying the drone with pulled throttle stick? Drone will descent and you'll be able to steer while it does that...
