Unhealthy GPS Signal + Check Mag Field

Yeah, that’s the funny thing with FC’s and RF interference: It’s the one scenario where being tidy and neat is not rewarded. I.e. you can have your ESC control cables running tidy but in doing so it is likely they emit some minor RF radiation. Solution: Run them crossing each other or better still twisted around each other and most of the RF signal will be cancelled out with each other. Same with PDB - seems a good idea at first but it comes at a price: Some RF interference. - At least would twist power supply wires for ESC around each other to cancel some of the magnetic field being created out.
…or better still don’t use a PDB.
Also, thanks Marc. was hoping some GPS related issues may be resolved in latest Arducopter as I’ve seen changelog and related changes made. Now at least I can decide if I’ll upgrade or not bother as I’m working on a VTOL drone and will be using controller on that instead.
