How to get Geofence for any FPV drone?

[@richardruckert7954]

I got into fpv to escape geo fencing. I can’t go back. I won’t go back Being dramatic to make the point geofencing must die Otherwise, I appreciate your expertise.

Hi Pawel. In a related note, I have a 7" I'm preparing for long-range but in this one, I have a M10-based GPS (Walksnail M181) and, to make things worse, I had to turn the FC 180º yaw. As you can imagine, the magnetometer orientation is really non-standard. The INAV configurator is not clear if the orientation shown in the setup, for instance, is related to the FC or if the orientation of the FC is already taken in consideration. I still have to figure this out because the quad was drifting in the first tests.

I have a Cirocomm M10 GPS unit and got trapped with the alignment of the magnetometer too. The flight controller is upside down (180 degrees ROLL) to add to the mix. Nothing appeared logical and I kept using different YAW settings on the Magnetometer Tab until it worked properly. (I tried to look at the settings now and realised I used that flight controller on my tracked rover. Sorry) I suggest you do the same as only one Yaw setting can be correct and there are only eight choices assuming the flight controller is pointing in the direction of travel. The only info I found on the alignment showed a 45 degree offset from 0 degrees.

Thanks for explaining line-by-line. I'm sure I will have to watch it a few more times for it to all make sense but I did just about manage to follow everything you said. Hopefully this will get me more comfortable with using the programming tab more generally!

Glad it was helpful!

Very useful tutorial on how to use logical conditions, even to those of us who don't need - and much less want - geofencing as such! I recently compromised a LR flight by leaving my flaps in the takeoff position. Never again. Thank you!

You're very welcome!

[@arnauballesterdeheras4441]

ion, yes sir! Thank you very much for putting an end to this problem in FPV drones. My question is this. I would like to do the way you have used but maintain position. In this case, would the drone remain static since the distance to the point of origin does not decrease? Or is there a way to slightly move the drone to the center to regain control?

I really like this workaround to get a geofencing working. I will do it! Very clear explanation.

[@OzgurJohn]

Would be nice you add it to configurator or maybe you add cli commands to description, loved it

Can this work with a wing?

[@FPVUniversity]

Yes, absolutely

Started watching the video and waited for the skip ad button to appear, then I've realized... ohhh this is the actual video

Not sure if it's a compliment or not really ;)

Thanks a bunch for the explanations, Pawel! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Thanks! 😃
