@tom That was the problem! Thank you

Resetting the parameters to outdoor mode seemed to have worked! The GPS acquired a signal and I am able to fly in Mission mode. Thank you!

@modaltb

Does this mean the GPS is faulty? Do I need a new one?

@modaltb

gps_1_config is set to GPS1.

I will be checking for these errors next. Please advise if there is anything else I should confirm/check

@modaltb,

This was when I was testing outside. I will check the value of GPS_1_CONFIG and get back to you.

Thanks for the swift response.

Using the m500 ModalAI drone, and I cannot run "mission mode" from QGC because the GPS cannot acquire. As far as I am aware and could find, the PIXhawk 4 GPS module should acquire automatically as long as it is plugged into the Flight core. However, throughout my three hours of testing, the GPS could not acquire, with the corresponding LED light blinking blue (https://docs.px4.io/master/en/getting_started/led_meanings.html)

I tried unplugging/replugging GPS, resetting drone and QGC, and even sending MAVLink messages to reset the GPS (both cold and hot).

How can I get the GPS to acquire?

@tom That was the problem! Thank you

@tom forgot to tag your name

If it helps, when connected to the flight deck via wifi following the quickstart on m500, my laptop QGC can connect to the flight deck
