The easiest way to implement that would be using a Crossfire Diversity Nano receiver [1] with a backup battery. It supports GPS out of the box, directly connectable to the receiver. For a custom solution, ExpressLRS [2] is an open source sy

I can confirm the 2.0 BT dongle fix works because I had that exact issue and that's how I fixed it. Of course, I still made Apple replace the laptop (was less than 2 weeks old), but doesn't really seem like they've noticed se

Doesn't kill it permanently; there's a fix involving connecting a CSR 2.0 dongle. There's also a workaround that sets an nvram var. Overall it's an absolute clusterfuck, though, because Apple still haven't fixed the

It’s actually positive. Open source community has limited resources, so DJI proving this thing can be made to work well removes any uncertainty someone would have when starting their own project without that knowledge. It also affects the w
