Starling 2 GPS
-
Hi,
I am currently testing the new Starling 2 drone (kit, ELRS version) . From the very beginning, the system has not detected any satellites (0 satellites, no GPS fix). This occurs consistently, even after waiting several minutes outdoors with a clear view of the sky. Additionally, the green LED on the GPS module is on, which suggests that the module is powered. I also noticed that there is no voxl-gps service present on the system.
Is there any additional configuration required for GPS?
Should GPS work out-of-the-box in this setup?
Are there any specific services (e.g., VOXL-related) or parameters that need to be enabled or verified?
Thank you. -

Thank you.Hello @adam , please see the following post regarding GPS signal quality on Starling 2 and Starling 2 Max : https://forum.modalai.com/topic/5116/gnss-emi-mitigation-guidelines
There is no
voxl-gpsservice -voxl-px4handles the GPS functionality, so as long as that is running, the GPS module should be active. Please go through the documentation linked above, there are some mitigation steps that are relatively easy to implement.We apologize for the inconvenience, but enabling usable GPS on Starling 2 will require some tweaks.
