I am using the Herelink Controller with a Pixhawk 2.1 Standard Set (black cube).
Everything works fine when I turn the Herelink on, open QGC and plug my drone battery in. I get all flight information numbers including heading, gps sats, altitude…etc… and go fly. When I land to change the batteries and plug in a new set of batteries all the flight data info is frozen from the previous flight and will not work. The only way I can get the flight information numbers to pop back up and work is to close the QGC app and reopen it and then it they all work. There has to be a way I can change that besides closing the app and reopening.
Hey! QGC should reconnect automatically again if you have setup auto-connect. But there are some limitations with respect to Ardupilot/px4(I would say the whole eco-system since smart batteries are not used widely) which wont reset the battery percentage & other battery related parameters. So it is suggested to reconnect again once battery is replaced.
You can go to comm links and reconnect instead of closing the app.
I understand not getting the battery information to reboot, but what about gps sats, heading, altitude, ect.?
The Herelink will connect and fly my drone, but I am not getting the telemetry data to come back up and is frozen from the previous flight? Is this a bug or I am doing something wrong?
Here is a short video showing what is going on. I am inside a small warehouse…raining outside, but after change of batteries the telemetry data will not come back (frozen from when I unplugged) and the only way it will work is to close the app and to reopen it, but that is time consuming. I can fly it and get my video stream, but everything else is frozen. Just trying to understand if there is a setting for this or something that might be updated in the future or not?
I found this below and it is exactly what I am experiencing. I see that @philip said it would be fixed with a update, but I am not sure that it has or will be. Is this just the way it is on QGC so I can understand? I realize the battery info will not work, but the flight time, gps sats, artificial hoorizon…etc… Telemetry Data freezing
I have checked mine last night and it’s all fine. All telemetry reconnects as expected.
This seems to be related to hardware imo, system wise reconnection on reboot or battery change is working as expected for me with all data starting again.
Hi all,
we are having the same troubles. Everything is fine at the first flight, after the battery replace the system works but all the telemetry data are frozen. Only way to solve this is to close the QGC app and relaunch it.
Setup: Quad, Herelink, Cube Black, QGC, all latest versions.
Thank you,
Paolo
