Hi, Still enjoying flying around woods :) Last week I thought I'd use the last of the flying time to just fly in front of me, and follow the path I came into the wood on. I had just set the RTH ALT to high (above the trees) and the alarm went off. I panicked and missed the 'cancel RTH' but the...

Hi B and M, Like I said, watch the 1st led on the drone battery. Which means: Get an electronic led sensor, which will hold the buzzer +v till it goes out then the buzzer will start. (I'm busy at the moment, but hope to have a go soon?) C

Hi M, I see, thanks. I looked into the ones I have, they are for wiring in to a self built drone, not the DJI type. So I'm back at #30! I'll make a circuit that watches the 1st LED, on the drone, so when it goes out, it switches on the buzzer. Cheers, C.

Hi M, That's surely not how they are supposed to work. What if they land softly? There's either got to be a voltage tap, from somewhere, or I'm sure I read the controller can trigger them, but I would like clarity, if possible. C C

Hi M, So what triggers them, please? C

Hi M, I now have 3x of the JHE42B modules, and have triggered/reset them by voltage and button. You mention ripping into the drone wiring, but with these modules where does the low battery voltage come from? I'm sure I saw somewhere that they can be triggered by the controller, is this true? C.

Hi M, I went back to those woods again today, and using the last Coordinates on the .SRT file, before they went to 000, took me to the tree, that I hit, so 10Foot away from where it was. I then flew around the trees for an hour, great :) C.

Hi M, I've built drones for years, and flown mine, but they definately, are no where near the DJI ones. I was thinking about using the battery leds, to trigger a noise, but the link you sent looks good. What triggers the noise, or are they buzzing all of the time? EDIT: I see this in the ad...

Hi G, How did you learn your lesson? Did you hit something, or loose signal? C.

Hi all, You've got to agree, there's a lot to consider, and I'm new to it. My eyesight isn't what it was so watching the drone, then looking for the fuel gauge needs practice. I get the points about GPS, data and video signals failing, and so far in the wood I was in, the GPS lost signal, but...

Hi F, Yes, I watched videos and reviews, then bought it. It's not quite as I imagined, but miles better than the ones I've been building for years, and I now know, that my ones wouldn't know where they are any where near the DJI one. I've also got some videos in my queue, about flying under...

Hi P, On Thrusday I lost my Mini pro4 in a similar setting to what you're talking about. (I found it the next day) but there are paths where I was flying. I noticed that it didn't 'see' many GPS satellites, so bear that in mind. I would go with #4 "A workable solution would be to be on the...

Hi B and B, I think if my flight was normal, it would have been fine, but I set the RTH ALT too low to go over the trees, and it couldn't find another route back. Once I took over, it took me quite a while to find a hole in the canopy, and if I'd been a better flyer, I would have made it back...

Hi M, But that's the reason I bought it! C

Hi B, Is the moveable number set by the operator? If, where do I set it? I had to override the RTH, because the drone couldn't move, because of the settings, I'd fixed, and I had to find a hole in the foliage to come down through. I found one, and only crashed reversing on to a tree a few...
