Awesome work Frisco, really appreciate you publishing this for all the newbs like me. My Heewing VTOL setup has literally been sitting in my basement for about 6 months waiting for Ardupilot to support my Matek 405 VTOL, which just happened a few weeks ago. I was ready to run down the Ardupilot hole as I am more familiar with Inav. Glad I saw your channel as I will now stick with Inav and this is going to be a HUGE help. Thanks again, you rock!
Just ordered a matek F-405 vtol and sometime in the next month or so, I will purchase a heewing T-1ranger vtol . Will setting up the board in INAV like you do in this video be the same. I believe you converted yours's from the standard heewing to a VTOL. Hope this makes sense . Newbie here.
Very good tutorial, can you please confirm me if (at 19:29mn) your Horizon Ch:06 should not be Ch:07 ? that means when you switch to plane transistion you will be in Horizon Mode, thx
Loved your video. I have tried to get it in the air without success. I fly planes and quads, but this thing will not get in the air. Wants to wing over, changed some of the original settings with no Joy. Tried different flight modes, I am missing something I can'' t see. Went back to your numbers (escept for servo wiring is different with Speedybeewing) Suggestions?
Brilliant job mate! I know a few guys who literally are among the most knowledgable in ardupilot vtol and were testers for Inav build development however they fail to go back to basics when making an instructional video. I'm also using DJI Vista and DJI air units too I plan on using this along with a DJI rc1 (black/radio). isn't it possible to use the DJI system instead of something like CRSF?
Sorry if I bother you, by no chance do you also have the diffs of the Manta VTOL, however congratulations, very good indeed and above all perfect setup
Hey Frisco, setup is going great using your guide. Question, everything seems to be working but I want to put each aileron on its own ch. I put the second aileron on ch9. So I now have aileron 1 on output 7 and aileron 2 on output 9. I also created a new mix to point to the new output 9. All seems to be working ok, anything wrong with doing this, anything I am missing?
I know this is possible but haven't done it. What you are describing makes sense ... do the ailerons move in the correct direction? In all mixer profiles?
Hi, I'm ploughing through the vtol setup with this excellent video. Im almost done but does anyone know how to get control surfaces working in all vtol modes. They work great in fixed wing mode but transition and hover i get no servo movement. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Nick.
The right ailerons moves very very slightly but that it. Ye tlit servos move perfectly. May be it only a few seconds to transition so maybe I'm a tad overthinking things. When the wind finally dies down I will test. Thanks Frisco@@RobertTheFriscoSchmid
Hey - I'm following this build, but notice that @14:29 you have the motors mixed differently to the graphic of the tricopter (top right of screen). Your setup has motor 3 (S3) on the tail. The prop directions are also different from what is in the graphic (you have listed props-out, graphic is props-in). Is this correct, my experience of BF builds tells me this is going to cause issues as the FC will not know the correct layout of the motors relative to the gyro? Is that taken care of elsewhere in iNAV somewhere I have missed? Help please. :) Thanks.
I have to wait for about 30-60 seconds before I can arm and the profiles switch ... read about that somewhere being normal but can't remember why that's the case

Makes me happy to hear that it helps others! Let me know how it goes.
Excellent video, many thanks for all the work you put into this!!
Thanks man - Mixer demystified 👍 I tried with ardu, but i prefer flying INAV. This is exactly what I was looking for - kudos
Hi. You mentioned you are not using differential throttle. How did you wire the T1 twin motors and the 3rd motor?
Thanks

@@budnanc509 are you sure the wiring is correct? It’s important that it’s in alignment with the settings, asking because you say it wings over
Great work sir, just what i need. Thankyou for all you efforts, much appreciated.
You are very welcome

Yes I think you should just be able to use the 2 extra RX/TX pads on the DJI to the FC and then use SBUS
And thanks for the nice comment!!!
Hi thanks for the amazing video
Can I ask a question the two servos tilting very fast how to slow down both of them thanks
I don’t know if there is an option for that
LOL yes and I spent all that wasted time looking for like 10 free music. Lesson learnt
Sorry if I bother you, by no chance do you also have the diffs of the Manta VTOL, however congratulations, very good indeed and above all perfect setup
Sorry I don’t have a Manta
@@RobertTheFriscoSchmid grazie mille per la disponibilità
thanks. pity i cant do this on the default flight controller that came with my vtol FX-405 Flight Controller
Mine is not switching between mixer profile one and two ,it has transition set however it does not go from tricopter to fixed wing ,any tips?
I've got the hump with Ardupilot because it locks out the flying controls during the transition. Is it the same for iNav?

@@RobertTheFriscoSchmid Hey Frisco, yeah the ailerons work great in Mixer Profile 1, are the ailerons supposed to move in Mixer Profile 2?
Your ailerons and elevator should move during mixer transition. Dont forget that mix it isnt on the wiki@@afterburnerrc6333
Nice job my friend
Thanks

Thanks Nick.
The only servos I need to move are the tilt for yaw when in hover and transition
The right ailerons moves very very slightly but that it. Ye tlit servos move perfectly. May be it only a few seconds to transition so maybe I'm a tad overthinking things. When the wind finally dies down I will test. Thanks Frisco@@RobertTheFriscoSchmid
Well gave it a try and wow, perfect. Tried with ardupilot and never had a sucessful transition. Thank you again Frisco!
i have only two rotors can i still use the same code if yes what changes should i make?
Hi, I don't arrive with my disco and F405, can you help me ?

The direction in the drawing is not correct but the settings are, try them and ignore the drawing
Thanks! :)@@RobertTheFriscoSchmid
@@RobertTheFriscoSchmidI’m confused now, so what is the correct motor location and what direction does ever motor have?
Thanks in advance
@@jasontotz please use exactly as described in video and you can also see it in the CLI dump
Hey Frisco, how did you handle manual mode? I don’t see it in the modes?
I don’t use manual
Ok yeah I see that. I am more curious about where it went as I don’t see it in the modes tab.
hi, I watched the video, my toggle profiles are not switching, did I miss something?
I have to wait for about 30-60 seconds before I can arm and the profiles switch ... read about that somewhere being normal but can't remember why that's the case
Where ur file to get started I have same setup how do u load it
Are you asking where to load the setup file? You have to go to the CLI, I think I am showing it in the video or did I misunderstand your question?
Yes
Why did you set mix transition angle is -45? Because it will not make plane go forward
-45 for my servos is about 45 degrees forward. I assume this depends how you installed the servo if its plus or minus 45. Makes sense?
Fantastic no music.
LOL glad to do
Sub'd
if I'd just know what "Sub'd" means LOL
Oh sorry, mean’s I subscribed to your channel.
@afterburnerrc6333 ahhh that makes sense, a little show here in the uptake :-)
My transition servos(stabilized yaw) oscillate a lot when hovering. Not sure how to fix it yet. any ideas?
Is it very windy and it requires a lot of yaw?
@@RobertTheFriscoSchmid nope does it inside the house.
@@craigcupit1917 sorry no idea except maybe bad servos?
I fixed it by adjusting the PID controller, lowering the I and raising the P, fixed my yaw transition servos stabilization@@RobertTheFriscoSchmid
@@craigcupit1917 ahhh thanks for sharing what did the trick
