Put this in my Reptile S800 and loving it, good clean VTX power, haven't needed any other power cleaning stuff on this plane. Only running one camera now. Love the Matek Wing FCs!
Thanks Andrew. Just received a message 5 minutes ago that mine arrived at the destination country. Cant wait to get it on my newly designed twin racer.
Another great review Andrew. Matek appear to be on top of their game at the moment, it has to be said.
Yes, worth the money
Just ordered one.
No we're just getting lazy!!!!
No more land, change camera position, change battery position, re adjust trims, etc, etc, etc.
No its just flick switch position.
Love it, Thanks Andrew.
PS. let me know how it fairs when you take out your LC filter please.
Im hooked on maytek boards now after getting a 405 stack. ✌✌awesome review
Could you make a video teaching how to assemble the system of an fpv plane with this board?
Look at these www.youtube.com/@AndrewNewton/search?query=f411-wse
Great review thanks horizon mode would be a good option when you fly with the rear camera just my 5 cents opinion
That would help
Very nice and compact 😎👌🏻
Another thing I have spotted is that Camera 2 Has a 5 volt supply...Whilst Camera 1 is using filtered vbatt...I now have one of these boards Andrew, it's so tiny!!!!...🤔🤔😀😷
Yes it's a beauty
Perfect for a small fpv plane....
Ya know, Andrew.....ever since your F405WING video, ive bought amd used 3 of them. They are great fc's. However, this new one looks quite appealing. I'm definitely gonna order at least 1. Great great video!
Yes, this one and the F405 Wing are my faves
О у меня такой,скоро полетит первый раз)
So with two cameras I notice you only had the one antenna. Does that mean you run on VTX and the FC switches between cameras using the one VTX?
Another gr8 video, glad they fixed the noise issue, and the smaller form factors fantastic for the same price also.
Yes two cameras, one video transmitter
Hello Andrew, can you please create a tutorial how to use this f411-wse on dji fpv system? I confused about changing uart resources on matek board. much thanks
Dont know if it's possible. Unless the Matek variant firmware allows LED and ST1 pads to be used as Rx and Tx for the DJI unit?
For some reason the INAV's Way-Points mode does not work on my older F411 board. It would be interesting to know if it works on the F411-WSE.
If I use dual cam I’d face one straight down to ground mounted on bottom of wing or plane. I see no need in having cam face the back personally. Facing down give more advantages with orientation. Just my 1cent thought.
Always inspiring. And I just bought one.
Thanks!
Oh yeah. Love this little board.
Nice compact board Andrew and clean video too...Are you recording on your diversity monitor now..?
The screen is from the FXT Vyper goggles, first try as a DVR. Much better recording than my Aomway Commander DVR but it cuts of the bottom a little.
@@AndrewNewton Oh, I am surprised, the Viper monitors DVR on my unit is terrible..unusable even... There was noticeable less breakup, I thought your Commander diversity was playing up..
@@EnglishTurbines Interesting!? You're right about my Commanders, diversity is failing I suspect.
@@AndrewNewton Yeah, it can't make it's mind up which antenna it wants to use, which makes the DVR go mental...It's not "interference".. as I said earlier...I had quite good DVR results using my big Aomway monitor / DVR.
Wow excellent video quality! I have one waiting to go into a Wing Wing Z-84. I have an F-411 on my C1 Chaser and I need a capacitor on the motor pads along with an LC filter on the VTX just to get decent video!
Yes this one solves that.
Hello Andrew. This is my first time using a flight controller. I recently purchased matek f411 wse.. I have a frsky L9R receiver.
But I could not figure out where should I connect the servo wires to . Should I connect it to the receiver or should I connect them directly to the flight controller?
You have a lot of homework to do if you're asking that question. Servos connect to the flight controller.
Hi Andrew. I can’t get my matek gps to work on this 411 board. You said gps is on uart 1. When I reboot, it kicks gps off uart 1. If I turn off uart 1 data switch, it stays, but gps symbol is red. I lox and gps are on in configurator. What am I doing wrong. Can you please spell out the uarts for me? Also, which peripheral is the tbs smart audio. Thanks for the help.
Mine was red because no GPS connected. Need to turn off Data MSP on UART1 as you did. I lox or UBLOX? Try swapping Tx and Rx for GPS. Enable CPU based serial ports and select TBS Smart Audio in the peripherals. Connect VTx Tx to ST1 (according to the Matek page)
@@AndrewNewton now that you have it working, do I need a battery plugged in to get the gps lights to illuminate on gps? I’ve set up two h743 and never this issue. I get that smoke stopper Thursday, but I’d like to know if that is the case. Thanks.
@@AndrewNewton ok. I got brave. You have to plug a battery in to 411 to get gps to work.
@@CoeShow619 I know that feeling. Yes it varies for different boards. F411 UART1 is not powered by USB, only UART2
Im soooo glad I seen this i no longer even want a zohd kopilot i must put one of thees in my lil dart 250 g
I dont mind soldering or mucking about in inav i kinda enjoy it
when i ordered my dart250 i thought the pnp version came with the kopilot Wrong but im happy now got that F411-WSE and a analog air speed sensor and a new vtx on its way i still may pick up a zohd kopilot if i see one on Amazon for my giant paper airplane maybe ???
Again andrew thanks very well done
The F411-WSE is one of the best iNav boards.
hi can i use this flight controller for airplane? Example airplane extra 300? and which ESC can I use? Thanks very much
Yes, but it's really designed for smaller planes or wings. Any ESC that suits your power setup will work.
Thank you for sharing your setup! May I ask which GPS did u use ? I am about to buy a set of this FC and GPS to fit into my nana skyhunter .
BN-880 GPS link in the description is good for this
@@AndrewNewton Thank you so much for your reply !
I have the F-411 WSE with INAV 2.6 in a Zohd Drift. I can't get the motor to work. The ESC just continues to beep. The servos work correctly. What am I doing wrong??
Beeping means it needs ESC re-calibration usually.
Where do you connect the esc wires? Does the negative has to be with the neg on the power side? Thanks
Negative signal wire can go on the big negative ESC power pad, or any negative pad really. Click on the link in the description or go to the Matek page for wiring diagrams.
Can the matek f411 wse be programmed with ardupilot? I am thinking about using this one for a vtol lidl glider.
Insufficient Flash memory on the F411 chips. F405 is OK, F765 is better. Check this link www.mateksys.com/?page_id=7637
hello Andrew..sorry for the trouble but I wanted to know if I can mount this fc on a zhod dart xl..thanks
Perfect combination
@@AndrewNewton thankyou Andrew
Hey, I want to know if there's a way to switch between VTX's using this (or another) FC? I'm planning on installing both analog and DJI into a wing, and switching between them using a switch, much like the camera here. Thanks a lot Andrew!
Not that I am aware of. You would have to switch goggles too?
@@AndrewNewton I found that the vsw pad on the F765 can be controlled via a user mode. Like the camera switcher. Exploring that to see how can I switch between two.
@@AndrewNewton and I have my analog receiver mounted on my DJI goggles itself, so no switching goggles, can just start AV mode. Or atleast that's the plan 😋
Interested to see how you go
What model of flying wing is this? Looks like a WingWing z84 ... almost.
Chaser C1. It's like a 1.2m Z84
Did you end up removing the extra Voltage/Current filter and was it still OK ...
Thanks?
Yes, the last flight in the video was with no LC filter
What GPS from banggood or aliexpress is good for this. Cheap one
Links to GPS units in the description
I have flaps on my plane. Can I run the standard channels on SBUS and put the flaps on one of the servo outputs.
Hi Bill. Yes I have done that using Taranis X9D+ and X8R receiver. But you have to remember not to use that channel for one of the iNav modes as well as flaps
Thanks Andrew!
just bought 2, what functions does a gps add? what gps do you reccomand?
GPS adds all the navigation modes. RTH, Alt Hold, Pos Hold, Waypoint Missions
@@AndrewNewton so airspeed and altitude are already on the flight controller?
Altitude comes from barometer and gps. Air speed would require a pitot tube sensor. Ground speed comes from gps. I like the Beitian BN880 gps
I didn’t like the Pawel presets for P on my wings. I prefer a bit of P on pitch and roll between 4 and 8
Yep, same here
how do i add a 3pos switch to start and stop a HDcam on the the channel 5 servo pin in inav plz
Add a new mixer rule in the mixer page. Change servo number to the FCB servo output you want to use. Change Source to whatever Channel you have the transmitter switch on. But you need a camera that can be operated by PWM signal.
Andrew Newton thank you I have the cable for my Hawkeye micro 2 that allows for stop and record
Can we use this FCB with frsky L9R receiver
Yes, via SBUS and RSSI wires
Can you tell me how I get the RSSI connection from my Frsky R-XSR receiver? It has 5 wires, ground, +5v, s_port, sbus out and sbus in.
Thanks.
Follow the first method newtonairlines.blogspot.com/2019/05/rssi-for-inav-x8r-l9r-xm.html
@@AndrewNewton Andrew, I don't have RSSI as an input source.
@@AndrewNewton I'm running version 2.3.9-otx.
I've set up the Matek following your setup video.
I have RSSI on Taranis with other planes.
Only shows when a receiver is connected and sensors discovered
do youi know where to get the latest firmware?
github.com/iNavFlight/inav/releases
@@AndrewNewton thanks
Very C@@L... Thanks Mate
My wse acts weird. Slow controls and left aileron spasms uncontrollably for about 20sec at a time then no response to any control then randomly repeats the cycle.
Wrong firmware? Shorted out contacts? Shorted out servo? Could be anything
Andrew Newton I thought the same thing. Without the receiver it did the same thing. This evening i reflashed my r9m and receivers... reconnected the controller and all is happy. No idea what it was.
I don't know why you always talk about voltage noise on the video feed ( I understand the concept , but it has never happened to me on a plane , even though I always power the VTx with direct batt voltage . I usa a rushtank vtx )
Depends on a lot of things, maybe your VTx has good filtering
@@AndrewNewton I guess , but why dosen't any of yours have it?!
Where is s7 and s8 pin ?
On a different FC
Hi Andrew.
Give it a couple of more clicks of p gain. I've also designed a servo pan mount, for an emax es08ma if you have access to a 3d printer.
www.thingiverse.com/thing:3636562
It angles the servo slightly back. If you mount your camera level it creates a touch of downward angle as it turns,
You probably already know. But if you wire in a 1k resistor to both side of the potentiometer of the servo you can convert it to a 180° servo with a bit of tweaking in the servo endpoints tab of Inav. I use the RC yaw control for the pan.
Thanks Chris, I have done the 180 mod before.
Hi flash help view
Firmware flash? Hold Boot button when connecting to go into DFU mode
