With your help I finally build my third AR Wing exactly like yours, the same FC, same firmware, same GPS and same rangefinder. And I also put them in the same place like yours! You are a great mentor you have no idea how much I like your video! I check your update everyday before go to bed lol. Thank you for taking me this far...
I am shocked at how much technology can be packed into such small packages and all at a quite affordable price too!!
It's just amazing.
Many thanks for sharing,
Joe
I've got mine on order. I just maidened my AR wing with F405 yesterday and since this was my first arduplane, it was a great and unusual feeling to have the FC take over when doing things like RTL, etc. I'm enjoying building along. Can't wait for a auto landing video! ;)
excellent as always!, cant wait for my sonicmodell ar wing 900mm to reach and the matek f405 wing fc so i can start the build
Great video!!!!Pretty straightforward! Thanks a lot!
Lee, you always fantastic.
Great video Lee, as always. This series inspired me and I got my AR wing setup. I'm having lots of fun with it. I'm waiting for your autoland video, so I can review and compare settings against what I've done. I also got the same range finder. Another video I'm waiting for is how to more easily remove a wing for transport. Thanks!

Nice info. Thanks. Will try on my Dart Plane.
Thank you
Hi Lee Just wondering if you might do a video on setting up the camera switcher on the F765 wing board please..
Keep up the great videos James..
Already done. See the build in the lockdown build.. Best of luck
thank you for the great video ! do u know if this rangefinder would work with myflydream autopilot setup ?
Will it work to follow terrain while flying? Or there is anything to do that?
How to install the matkek lidar / optical flow?
Optical Flow & Lidar Sensor 3901-L0X
Hi there another great video one question could you use it for low level flight as I'd like to skim over a lake dam buster stile, but I'm afraid that I ma dich it in the drink. I've enjoyed and learnt a lot from your videos. Thank you so much Paul
Yep, this'll help but be careful over water as not all sensors work well... see the arduplane documentation... happy flying!
@@Painless360 thanks will be very careful I will be trying over short grass or a car park first just in case
It's fantastic that you can also land automatically with this device!
But can you also use the LIDAR for a low-level flight altitude control??
I've never used it like that but there is loads of detail in the Wiki.. ardupilot.org/copter/docs/terrain-following.html so it looks like it can. Best of luck!
Great work as always!..Thank you. Is it compatible with iNav too and how to configure it in iNav
Those style of sensors are supported but I've never tried here. Best of luck!
@@Painless360 lidar inav build video?
Hi I like your videos. Can you do a video on terrain following with this setup.
I don't have it anymore but there is some great documentation on terrain following in the Ardupilot wiki.. Best of luck
@@Painless360 Do you use another one or do you simply no longer use LIDAR?
A question about ports on the Pixhawk 4. I have this TFmini working if I use Telem2 port. I'm trying to get it to work on the UART & I2C port. I've made the settings exactly the same, checked a dozen times. Is there some other setting for that connection I'm missing? I've assumed it is serial 3, but I've also tried 4 and 5.
Thanks.
Sort've solved that issue in a round about way. I had wanted to use the Telem2 for the Radio Telemetry, from one of your other videos. But it turns out the radio works fine in the UART connection, so I can just use the Telem2 for the lidar and I haven't wasted a connection. By the way, the radio set I got is a Holybro, but it has all the parts like your more expensive version (in the other video), so it's in between the two you had in that video. Worked right out of the box.
Fantastic, Lee! That's really interesting! 😃
I'm even thinking about making an airplane drone to try out in my parent's farm! 😂
Did you make an auto landing video? I can't find it in your search.
I didn't. Best of luck
where video that autolanding?
I have pixhaw px4 flight controller ,my only question is should I upgrade to new flight controller or can I use the same old pixhaw on my FT spear for long range?? I don't want auto land feature .Would be very helpful if I get a reply
If you are not bothered about an OSD and can flash it to the latest version of the code, why not?
@@Painless360 is there no way to get osd on px4?
@@Painless360 I wouldn't mind upgrading to matek f405 fc but the whole process is too confusing
See my F405 arduplane build. Happy flying!
Hi
I have a fixed wing plane. It has 140 miles range
From Point A to Point B. Is it possible to pre program the mission planner so that I can extend the flight to 200 miles ( From Point A to B to C)
For example, when the planes gets to Point B, my friend will change battery and the planes connects to the mission and it is thrown up into the air to move from Point B to Point C
Is that possible?????
Or my friend will need a second relay remote control??
Francisco
I've never explored the idea of a mission that has this kind of 'stopover' in it. If it is possible it'll be in the docs.. Best of luck!
Hello! I'm using a Heewing T1 RANGER PNP VTOL with the FC that it came with. Although I'm using the MTF-01 Lidar my issue is that the FC can't recognize it. Is it possible the FC not to be compatible with Lidar? Thanks!
I'm not sure. I've never tried. If you get it working, please let me know... Best of luck
@@Painless360 Hey! I made it work. Now I need to configure the values into flight. If you need info, tell me!
Please post the tricks you used... Happy flying
@@Painless360 I had to go into the custom firmware builder, take the V2 board firmware and enable the Rangefinder - MAVlink and on Sensors the optical flow MAVlink sensor, build the firmware and flash it again. After that the values on rangefinder1 and Flow Quality started to work fine. Now I need to figure this out so I can make it fly with these values. These things are first to me.. Never done Ardupilot settings and I search/experiment to figure these out.
Will this work on inav with f405 ?
Yep, see my Caipirinha build... Happy flying
@@Painless360 thank you ...keep up the great videos!!
I subscribed and did not see any more TFMini Plus videos :(
Thanks for subscribing. You don't need to subscribe to view and search the channel. Happy flying!
Awesome video 👍. Can someone flash arduplane into matek f411wse,f722 and if not can inav do all things that arduplane can do.
See my iNav series... it can do a lot of the same... best of luck!
