I have two Reach units, one mounted on an UAV and another on a base station. The one on the UAV is connected through a Pixhawk2 (Serial port), and the one on the base station is connected to a Power Bank.
I started to notice that after some time the Reach units stop connecting through ReachView (they generate a very weak wifi network but you cannot even connect to them). It happens on different moments for the UAV and base units, but happens in both.
After I recharged the power bank or changed the UAV battery, they work again, so I can see that the problem is the “low” battery. My problem is that it occurs when the PowerBank (barely new) has about 60-70% charge, and in the case of the UAV, when the battery is still on something like 15.8V (for a 4S-16.8V battery), so still pretty charged.
This is turning my surveyings very frustrating because I need to change the batteries when in theory they can still work for a long time.
For the UAV my power source is a Pixhawk with a regular battery. I have tried different batteries and power banks and both have the same problem. I am using the cables that came with reach.
