Zero Alt doesn't work

Post by AlexLmm »

Hi,
I have er9x-pr820 frsky 128 V1.647

When I get 3D fix I see Galt at the screen become 29.0, then I press Zero Alt from pop up menu but Galt keeps the same value as before.
How can this be fixed?

At present, assuming you wish to use the GPS alt. rather than the barometric alt., go to the telemetry menu and set GpsAltMain to on (ticked). This uses the GPS alt. value as the Alt value. The "Zero Alt" option should then zero the displayed Alt value.

Hi Mike! Yes, it was always ticked. Can be some other reason?

The Galt value won't appear as zero, but the "ordinary" Alt value should.

When I changed GAlt to Alt at the telemetry screen it show 0 from the beginning. GpsAltMain ticked. Is that correct behavior? I can't fly the drone right now to check alt change.

It sounds correct. The code "auto-zeroes" when it first receives an Alt value.

Thank you Mike as always. Sorry for wasting your time, but I couldn't figure it all out from the manual, and it was so simple. I wish the manual would be more detailed, but it requires some more community efforts to do that.
