I have two identical Pixhawk clones on the bench, one running Copter V3.3.3 and one running Plane V3.6.0. I was testing a new Ublox M8/compass GPS module and noticed a significant difference in the number of satellites reported on Mission Planner.
With the GPS at a fixed position and connected to the Pixhawk running Copter V3.3.3, Mission Planner reports 10 satellites and 3D DGPS fixes. When the GPS is transferred to the second Pixhawk running Plane V3.6.0, Mission Planner reports 17 satellites and 3D DGPS fixes.
I am at a loss as to why the number of satellites would vary with different firmware. I have a consistent set-up of the GPS parameters (acknowledging that there are differences between Copter and Plane). Has anyone else experienced this or have suggestions as to how to get the Copter performance up to that seen with Plane?
Cheers,
Adrian
