Using monitor idle the GPS looks good but the altitude started out really high but cam back to my elevations in 2 minutes. Is that normal?

Can you send along the .eeprom file so we can take a look at the data? It certainly has some 'interesting' values in the flight overview you provided. > The data I question is the maximum height.

The unit > did transmit its coordinates and that part is OK You can take a look at the recorded acceleration data to see if the unit experienced any really high g forces which might cause it to fail, and you can look at the sensor values using 'monitor idle' mode to see if they're reasonable. -- -keith _______________________________________________ altusmetrum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gag.com/mailman/listinfo/altusmetrum
