Obstacle Avoidance in low light

[RoarRoar]

Recently I’ve noticed that my MPP has been stopping abruptly near dusk. For some reason the obstacle avoidance kicks in randomly.

This is with no obstructions in the area either. So I was curious if anyone has had an issue with this? It’s not a big deal it stops then keeps going.

I plan to recalibrate everything, and clean the sensors.

@RoarRoar try turning off the OA sensors in the App its most likely the low sun that is causing the drone to stop it fools the sensors into thinking there is something in front of the drone

That’s kind of what I thought. Thanks.

Are these sensors something that should work in the dark? Sorry, just thought of that, plan do do some searching about this....

Sensors won't work in very low light, nor landing protection sensors, precision landing etc.
Think of those sensors as performing at similar reduced ability the same as the camera affixed to the drone, as light diminishes.
In good light both will perform well to their specs, in pitch black you will get zero satisfaction.

No .. they require good lighting conditions to work.
