Anyone having trouble with the obstacle avoidance sensors since the latest firmware update?
After updating mine two days ago, my MP's obstacle avoidance has gone quirky.. Before it worked quite well I thought but now it has begun to stop and alarm for no discernible reason. Nearest object more than 100 feet away. Even at RTH altitude of 120 meters it stopped three times then continued on for a good landing. Any idea what might be going on here?
 
It could be the sun,or small birds? Mine did it a lot,and I recaliburated them. It seems to work better now,but will still kick in when flying towards a low sun.

Thanks!

That does make some sense as the sun is almost always low in my southern sky this time of year and the tree swallows have been known to circle around it playfully.

I'll try the re-calibration.

Flying towards the sun definitely affects the sensors regardless of firmware version. Easy to test by turning away from the sun. You can always turn off the sensors if it becomes too much of a problem.
