Thank you, I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I couldn't get my GPS to be recognized by Inav. Thanks to your video I was able to figure it out.
Do you have to plug in a battery to get your gps to light up while connected to the Matekf411? My gps leds on the unit are not on. All solders and connections are great. Please help. Thanks.
I use auto launch all the time with my Z4....Never fails, and no prop strikes ever....I did pick up one or two tips on your CLI dumps....Thanks Andrew.
I love auto launch especially with wings. I turn the motor delay time down and climb angle up. Motor turns on just after the prop clears my hand so I can use the cutouts on the bottom of the C1.
I had issues with my WSE on the factory FW flash, flashed it with the build on the Matek website and worked great. Love the 2 board setups for the calibrations. I am glad to see that you also delete the second motor, and that you hate presets haha.
Why is your gps symbol red during this set up? Does the 411 have to have a battery on it to light up the gps? I’m waiting on a smoke stopper before I try. Last 743 smoked. Wonderful day! Please let me know. I need GPS.
i want to add a camera on pan and a camera in the tail. so with this FC i can do that sweet i usually use f405 matek but that doesnt have that feature. i must do more research
Andrew thank you for posting this video. Would you be able to send me the CLI values you are using on the video ? Also, do you have a soldering video on this FC ? Thanks again !!!
Please do a follow up showing how to add smartport telemetry (wiring and configuration) -- preferably with a R-XSR ;) As there are only 2 UARTs, it is not at all straightforward. Also, even though my rx is bound, I cannot get the radio page showing any changes on the sticks. I have AETR on channels 1-4. This little FC is just the ticket for the Dart 250g wing.
Yes. use the Ports setup for UART2 and Softserial 2 as shown in the Matek wiki for the F411-WSE. Connect the wiring as shown in the wiring tab i.e. gnd to G, 5v to 4v5, sbus to SBUS, and smartport to TX2 (all 4 connections are adjacent to each other in a row on outside of PCB). www.mateksys.com/?portfolio=f411-wse#tab-id-4 Make sure the following are defined in CLI: set serialrx_provider = SBUS set serialrx_inverted = OFF set serialrx_halfduplex = OFF Save
Great video. Is there any reason that you have not set up failsafe on a channel(knob) I think i have seen you have done that in an earlyer video. I am trying to set up a F.411-wse in a ft spear With frsky r-xsr and INAV 2.5
Thank you for the answer. I have seen a video of Paweł Spychalski that he say that you shoud set the failsafe to Hold instead of no pulses when you use frsky SBUS . Do you have tryed this? Video: th-cam.com/video/Gh6i1kyxY6s/w-d-xo.html
Andrew, Would I be able to use this FC and connect Elevator, Rudder, Aileron, and Flaps? I would use Y Harnesses for Aileron and Flaps servos. I know that for my wing it will work but wanted to use the same controller on my FPV glider. Only additional external sensor I would use is the GPS with Compass. FPV gear would be the HD Tramp VTX, Foxeer Toothless 2 on wing, and HD Tramp VTX, RunCam HD2 4K on the glider. Both are powered off a 3S battery. I'll also be running Crossfire for long range. Both are running with Kopilot at the moment but without an OSD on them worries me for long range and not knowing where Home is at. Unless you know of an OSD system that would work with Kopilot this would be the config I would purchase to use iNav. Feedback?
G'Day Andrew, I've just found your video in my travels. I'm looking at setting up an F411-WSE in my wing. I've just got the one question; what GPS module would you recommend using with this FC? I've gone from Nitro fixed wing to FPV Quadcopters and now, after 5 years or so, i'm trying to get back into it with FPV wings. So i'm a few years behind.
Hi.. how to setup on inav if we want the plane fly at certain speed, example if the plane will fly with ground speed / air speed at 45 m/h constantly. thank you for your help
Very informative video. I was surprised that you do not enable telemetry. If I am correct, without it, your board will not send telemetry to your receiver, right? I like to record GPS location on my taranis telemetry log. The location helped me a few times to find my downed plane.
matek f411 wse connect fpv transmiter eachine nano vtx first atach -connect antena in transmiter..left to right side wires.. yellow soldering to vtx in matek,red soldering to vbt,black to G.I think so I have smog not working?????
Is it possible to connect a pi via mavlink to a FC running INav for the purpose of utilizing a 4G Stick to stream live Data from a flight? I've seen pixhawk and ardupilot having Mission control centers that allow live tracking. Can inav do that aswell? I really don't want to go back to ardupilot but I really need a live update of where my plane is for long range flights.
I have fried two cameras on my F411wse first one was because I didn’t realise the polarity for camera supply was different from my old F411, transferred cam from that board to this one got smoke from the board on plugging it in, so guessing the board might be knackered as well ? Second cam toasted was when I thought I would try plugging in another cam “correct polarity this time” to check if the board was buggered or not, this is when I realised that the pins for cam 1 supply more than 5v ! I know I only have myself to blame and expensive lesson learned, don’t assume that the pinouts will be the same from one board to another even if they are from the same manufacturer and check voltage before plugging camera in 😢
Hi Andrew, I'm new to fixed wing, so this info was vital to me as Im using the new f411wse board.. Is there a chance of getting the 'new cli's setup extras' dump so to eliminate any spelling errors? TIA Trevor
Hi Andrew, noticed you're using a Mac with iNav. I've been trying to get my iMac to work with iNav but have issues getting it to work. Could you advise on where to get drivers for mac or any advice on how you managed to get it working? Many thanks.
Mr Newton I think I rushed to buy the fc f411 wse, because I wanted to connect the 3DR system to telemetry, and after being very calm, I see no way to connect it because I need free RX and Tx, and uart2 it is for the Sbus and uart1 for the GPS, the soft serials are left, which only have Tx. I did wrong, didn't I?
@@AndrewNewton Yes of course! Nextel time I've to BE more careful. 3DR system is a ground station linkage to the air model it gives you the possibelety to update way points wiaerllessly, and configure iNav to! Se can Aldo have online reading the model's positivo on the map!

Assign a UART to GPS in the ports page, Turn GPS on in the config page, Check Total messages is counting up in the GPS page. GPS needs battery to be connected.
Same problem. I know I have the correct setup, I have lots of other FC boards (Matek and others using iNav and Arduplane) but can't get the GPS symbol to turn green! Also, a 4-pin Dubro connector from the GPS prevents a micro-USB plug from being inserted. Used a 3-pin instead and picked up a ground on the pin below, bad design! Not that it matters anyway because the board doesn't register the GPS, so cant be used. Waste of money!!
Hi Buddy Great info. I'm hoping you can help me with a question. I have just ordered the f411-wing (FC) and I was thinking of putting it in one of my powered gliders. However on the glider the ailerons are joined together with a ( Y CABLE ) and plugged into port 1 on my receiver. So do I have to remove the Y-Cable and connect each servo separately ? on can I just leave it and connect the Y-cable to servo 1 on the F411-Wing Any information you can offer would be appreciated Cheers.
@@AndrewNewton Thank you. As I have not used the f411 before witch servo port would you recommend for the ailerons Y-cable ( 4 or 5 ) or dose it not matter
Either 4 or 5 is OK as long as the one you choose is set to Stabilised Roll in the mixer page. Just be aware that iNav mixer and the board use different numbers for the servo ports. The board is 3 4 5 6 and the mixer is 2 3 4 5 in my example because I deleted the second motor on S2
How can I get esc telemetry working with this board? I currently have the following set up: UART 1 : GPS UART 2 : RX (SBUS XM+) Softserial 1 : Smartaudio Softserial 2 : (all disabled) What pad on the board is ss2 exactly? And can I make it a softserial rx pad so it can read esc data? Thanks again for all that you do!
@@AndrewNewton Well because iNav does not (yet) support bidirectional D shot over the signal cable, one must connect the telemetry pad to a RX pad on the FC to enjoy any RPM filtering in the new iNav 2.4.0.

Andrew - great video, just moving over from librepilot to inav myself. Mainly because I have just ordered an F765...and iNav seems significantly more powerful (had a play using a cc3d revo - which won't work due to dropped PWM support) Which made me realise that I need to upgrade fom am older ppm/pwm to an Sbus set up. Any suggestions for Transmitter and Receiver? I have, as mentioned the F765 and DJI occusync Air Unit as well for this Fixed Wing. Was thinking Taranis Q X7 but thinking something with 16 channels would be nice...as long as it is something which works well with iNav and the F765 really...?!
@@AndrewNewton thanks for that. Do you have a preferred receiver for fixed wing though within the list of sbus frsky units... Ridable, good range, signal, channels. Sorry...so many questions... Saw the Paladin in a search yesterday...any thoughts on it?
Hey mate. Do you ever do another calibration once board in plane? Or just muck with the angles always as you showed in this video? I ask as wings fly nose up and the calibration on desk is flat so always concerned on first flight with new board. Am hoping that the Ardu team will support Chibios on this board as has all the makings for a sub 250gram 4g plane. Not that Australians get to have a sub 250 gram limit as I read the new rules anything thats RPA even if sub 250 has to be registered. Plus Canada thought 5,500 buck fine was bad ours is going to be 10,500. Gone are the days of having the most common scence rules in oz. 😁
@@AndrewNewton Cheers had so much on my plate to catch up on so launched 2 models today in acro and both flew beautifully. Inav is such a great addition. Are core flute you say.......... ;-)
Any tips on flashing the Matek boards?! Was going to follow this but then discovered I need to flash my board first which can't get working for the life of me! Issues I've found so far: 1 - It doesn't like the gps being connected. 2 - I had to do the zadig step of replacing the driver. (Top tip, make sure you do this when your flight controller is in the boot loader!) It now shows as connected in DFU but when I try and flash it says usb opened successfully and then closed successfully but nowt else :(
Which board Dave? I'm using Mac so can't give any useful advice about Windows drivers. If you're desperate you can send the board to me and I'll flash it.
@@AndrewNewton Sorted! Downloaded version 2.2.1 of the configurator from github and that worked first time! Think I was using the Chrome version before
@@AndrewNewton I think there is a maximum pitch angle for return to home. I adjusted mine too much and have a similar problem, it will climb too steeply and keep stalling. That was one thing I was going to change before I had this flashing fun
Andrew, another gr8 Video, considering using this board for a Sonics AR Mini wing Build. Are you able to share your CLI and OSD Text files by any chance ? PS, your still in my wife's bad books !!
Absolutely essential for fixed wing if you ever want to glide with throttle at zero. Air mode means the PIDs are still active on the servos at zero throttle.

Thanks Andrew for the detail on this, very useful. When you say 'OLD' boards in reference to the Ports tab, are you refering to the F4 type?
Older than that I think, but dont quote me. Just something I saw in an obscure, buried forum somewhere.
So can serial connection for telemetry say to a vista camera go over soft serial?
Yes, there are a few different firmware versions for the F411-WSE to cater for more connections like DJI
What firmware in INAV is used for the Matek F411 WSE ? They dont list a 411 with WSE , just 411 , or 411SE .
Always have to check on the Matek page before flashing. Or turn the F411 over and read the text.
@@AndrewNewton Matek just got back to me about this , they said use the SE firmware if you have the WSE controller . Thanks Andrew .

My radio is the Q X7 and any FrSKY SBUS receiver (not the ACCESS version), or Radiomaster TX16S if you want to be able to use any receivers
@@AndrewNewton thanks for that.
Do you have a preferred receiver for fixed wing though within the list of sbus frsky units...
Ridable, good range, signal, channels.
Sorry...so many questions...
Saw the Paladin in a search yesterday...any thoughts on it?
Just realised that only 2 days ago you did another post on the Paladin...about to watch it!
I'm having issues with mixing. I get can all servos to work, just not at the same time.
Strange. Need more info if you want help
Hey mate. Do you ever do another calibration once board in plane? Or just muck with the angles always as you showed in this video? I ask as wings fly nose up and the calibration on desk is flat so always concerned on first flight with new board.
Am hoping that the Ardu team will support Chibios on this board as has all the makings for a sub 250gram 4g plane. Not that Australians get to have a sub 250 gram limit as I read the new rules anything thats RPA even if sub 250 has to be registered. Plus Canada thought 5,500 buck fine was bad ours is going to be 10,500. Gone are the days of having the most common scence rules in oz. 😁
Calibrate once then only pitch angle after that.
@@AndrewNewton Cheers had so much on my plate to catch up on so launched 2 models today in acro and both flew beautifully. Inav is such a great addition. Are core flute you say.......... ;-)
Any tips on flashing the Matek boards?! Was going to follow this but then discovered I need to flash my board first which can't get working for the life of me!
Issues I've found so far:
1 - It doesn't like the gps being connected.
2 - I had to do the zadig step of replacing the driver. (Top tip, make sure you do this when your flight controller is in the boot loader!)
It now shows as connected in DFU but when I try and flash it says usb opened successfully and then closed successfully but nowt else :(
Which board Dave? I'm using Mac so can't give any useful advice about Windows drivers. If you're desperate you can send the board to me and I'll flash it.
@@AndrewNewton it's the F722 wing board
@@AndrewNewton Sorted! Downloaded version 2.2.1 of the configurator from github and that worked first time! Think I was using the Chrome version before
@@DavePinnock Aha, good to hear. I'm having problems with my F722 wing. Over reacts in Pos hold and RTH modes and I dont know why.
@@AndrewNewton I think there is a maximum pitch angle for return to home. I adjusted mine too much and have a similar problem, it will climb too steeply and keep stalling. That was one thing I was going to change before I had this flashing fun
Andrew, another gr8 Video, considering using this board for a Sonics AR Mini wing Build. Are you able to share your CLI and OSD Text files by any chance ? PS, your still in my wife's bad books !!
Haha. Downloadable CLI dumps here newtonairlines.blogspot.com/search/label/iNav%20Basics
Why do you use air mode it seems to be something more related to quads than airplanes I don't see what it does?
Absolutely essential for fixed wing if you ever want to glide with throttle at zero. Air mode means the PIDs are still active on the servos at zero throttle.
Hello, mayb u can help me out. I cant get gps coordinates from the plane showing in taranis radio or crossfire tx. Using ctossfire lite with nano rx and matek f411wse.
Uart 1: gps
Uart 2: serial
Softserial 1: tbs smart audio
Softserial 2: smartport
Dont know what else i need to do.
Or mayb u can send me ur PORT settings in inav
Dont know about crossfire
@@AndrewNewton got it figured out, thankx
inav 4.0.0 armed.when use trottle stick up and down motor not spinning. In my fly sky trans.display trottle line 3 moving . when check motor test for calibration ,motor spinning.battery its ok.matek f 411 wse.
Best ask on the INAV Fixed Wing Facebook group
my system glider phoenix 2.0m.,matek 411 wse,run cum,transmiter and receiver flysky.eleron connect to use u connector.all system is working now.stabization working.l have free Chanel 5 in matek.how to connect and set up flaps in Inav 4.0 or on this system semply.Thenks
Plug flaps into the F411, add a line in the inav mixer - RC Channel 5, then set up ch5 in your radio as the flaps.
@@AndrewNewton big thenks
I think your inav configurator is old (unupdated)
I'm on 2.2.1
