If you call something quick I know from now on that this means 30 minutes+ But that is the content you had been talking about back then when you once got that golden cube and were explaining a bit like the gps connceted with can bus or so.
If you built this you would have the Mother of all Rats Nest wiring. Would it be possible / worthwhile developing PCB instead of using wiring? Still need wiring I know but utilising some pcb with connectors would be welcomed.
Hi. What is the best antenna mounting for the herelink on a fixed wing ? Considering the aerodynamics and that the plane would be pointing towards home location on the way back... anyone ?
I have a 3DR Solo full set with back pack and a lots of spares, that's include cube and main board as well, all of this laing for approx 3 years in closet now :) is they any use of that ? I was planning to list it but maybe that is a mistake ?
Still have an original "cube black" in the box - unused. One question is Power "OR'ing" handled in the carrier boards (if they have the option of two power inputs) or is it expected at the power modules?
The carrier board handles the power delivery and secondary regulation via its module. Basically carrier board will take 5V via Power1, Power 2 and USB. It will also take power from the servo rail at a higher voltage. I think it’s up-to 7 or 9v need to check that. Then the PMU deliverers that power to the cube module at correct voltages. The Cube via the Carrier has multiple power redundancy so it can pull from where needed, ie Power1, 2 , aero rail or of connected USB too. However the cube does not provide power out to the servo rail so for instance power 1 port will not power the servo rail or anything attached to it like servos. You should have a bec for servo power if needed and that then acts as a backup for the cube it’s self.
@@MadRC OK Ian thanks for that it's been nigling me for a while. As I custom build my own power modules I was unsure whether or not to add "OR'ing" or rely on the modules.
about 10,000 usd if the gimbal and camera were second hand. the herelink and air unit are cheaper than the dji rc by itself at around 700 gbp and the cube and board are 600 rest of the things can be found for peanuts. gremsy gimbals even. good cameras are always the most expensive
Sorry Steven that was a reply to Julius's comment. however in responce to your's. For the price Herelink is awsome. I regularly fly my quad 15km out and back on it with no issues and I have full confidence in its ability.
Can you explain the difference between PX4 and Ardupilot, I couldn’t find the answer online? Also do you know if Caddix or DJI are still working on canvas mode?
@@TalkerWhoLovesToTalk sure but Ardupilot also runs on QGroundControl and PX4 vice versa, perhaps not the full parameter list but enough to use it. And why, what’s the idea between these different systems? Why should you use Ardupilot instead of PX4 for example?
@@ojwhaaaojwhaaa5457 the OS. NuttX runs slower and it's very bloaty in its code. Phillip Rowse, the founder of CubePilot swears by Chibi OS. I was on a phone call a few weeks back and he said that just changing from NuttX to Chibi OS using the same hardware, his drones have performed better.
The basics are they were both open source flight stacks based on the same base hardware and low level software for drivers ect. There had common elements like Mavlink support and NuttX middleware but the flight stacks them selvs were their own open source developments. However over time things have changed a lot as both NuttX and PX4 were under the same development team. This meant thing were not always being done that suited Ardupilot and as such Ardupilot moved to Chibios for its middleware to allow it to develop its own path and get better performance. Further to this PX4 was moved/dragged under the Drone Code umbrella with QGC and others and has now been somewhat put behind a paywall. While PX4 is open source there is PX4 enterprise that’s not and its development is being driven by its stake holders now rather than users. While open source PX4 has a number of companies behind the Drone code project that are now driving the direction and this is not necessarily good for end users. Auterion and others being major contributors and controllers of the project. Ardupilot remains fully open source with them partnering with hardware vendors however Ardupilot remains fully driven by the dev team and the community.
Excellent video! I couldn't find anywhere that broke it down like this. Very helpful.
Thanks man I really appreciate it.
Great video! Thank you, this cleared up a lot of confusion.
I swear @Mad's Tech has youtube EsP as soon as I even think about a subject the video is out LOL Great Video Mad's .
A lot of these carrier boards aren’t available. So I don’t know why they would include them on a poster representing what’s available to the user.
it was a very nice and helpful video
Hi, great video. Can you please do next video how to connect NeoPixel LED to the flight module like the drone show. That would be great. Many Thanks.
I have all of these printed out and on my office wall!
Awesome.
Great work as usual 👏 👍

Excellent video ... and I even subscribed. 👍
What controller would you recommend for personal quadcopter driving?
Do you know what exact PDB the poster is representing? I need a PDB that can support 12s voltage and 180A of continuous current. Thanks
U hit it alright. Lol. Part of the game brother. Be safe

Wwhere can I get the posters online ? the Carier board poster ?
I want to build a single-seat quadcopter.
These products are not designed for human flight.

Can't imagine how much it would cost to have a full set of gadgets on this poster.
for its capability nothing else comes close so it is worth it

So where is that video with cube comparison ?

PX4 uses QGroundControl and runs on the NuttX OS.
ArduPilot uses Mission Planner and runs on Chibi OS.
Both are built on the MAVSDK libraries.
@@TalkerWhoLovesToTalk sure but Ardupilot also runs on QGroundControl and PX4 vice versa, perhaps not the full parameter list but enough to use it. And why, what’s the idea between these different systems? Why should you use Ardupilot instead of PX4 for example?

@@TalkerWhoLovesToTalk So basically what you say is that you should stay away from PX4, and always choose Ardupilot, thanks for the aswer!
