Hi Lee Great video on setting up INAV. I am setting up a fixed-wing with INAV, and without your videos I probably would never figure it out. Thanks for taking time out of your day to make them.
after learning FPV quad now i want to learn how to fly fixed wing .. thanks for your videos . its really help me a lot
Check out th-cam.com/video/xIJ3qZ4KOOQ/w-d-xo.html best of luck!
Same😂
Fantastic, Lee! Thanks a lot! 😃
Looking forward to the maiden flight!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks mate. Thats such a helpful video. Its a perfect intro.
Thank you! My INAV for Beginners 2023 series is about to start on the channel! Stay tuned!
Thanks heaps for all your help 🙂
Brilliant cheers
Thanks!
Hi lee, dont worry i think after watching the old smix video i think i fixed it!
For the rest of you out there
I have an A tail setup that somehow is giving elevator movements when rudder command is given and vice versa. Flight controler is doing the same. Have it set up "v tail" in inav 4.1. reciever page says my channels are assigned correctly, ie rudder mives rudder and elevator moves elevator. The key is the rate needs to be negative on one of the yaws i think!
Great video, I do have one question. Do you think having an air speed sensor is necessary for long range flights and why.
It depends on how windy the weather is you fly in. With a little wind groundspeed and airspeed start to become very different numbers depending on if you have the wind at your back or on your nose... happy flying!
Hi Lee!
Can I ask, why you do enter the mid points but not the min and max? Wouldn’t the deflection go more one way than the other? Or isn’t it required for the initial setup?
I never do that. This is aimed at beginners and all of the steps I use are shown... Happy flying
Watching and making slow progress. So far no accident. I get to replay what I thought I understood, since there are so many details. Greatly appreciate this series. One question still remains. If I need dual or triple rate, is it something I should set up in inav? Looks like it is something that should be done on the radio side.
Why is want more than one set of rates. INAV modes can be used to provide an excellent alternative to traditional rate reduction. If you want to fly in MANUAL or ACRO a lot then you can add another rate profile to the radio... Happy flying
@@Painless360 It is a habit from F3A and IMAC. I will be most likely be ok with Manual mode in FPV world. Another side question is, I found parts where you set neutral points for servos, but how do you make motor run earlier on low side. Mine starts at about 1/3 up which is a bit too much. Thanks.
ESC calibration is the key for the motor not starting early enough. I'd try that first... Best of luck!
@@Painless360 I am surprised at myself not knowing this. I always used throttle curve and end result was perfect. Unfortunately, esc calibration isn't yet working. I also found iNav itself has similar stuff. No luck yet, but will keep trying. Thanks
I'm trying to set up a T1 Ranger. There are a couple of mixer presets. Airplane with differential thrust and Airplane without a rudder. The T1 has 2 motors and no rudder. I assume I use Airplane with Differential Trust because the preset for Airplane Without a Rudder only has 1 motor. Do you have a video showing how to setup the T1 Ranger and how to setup differential thrust since there is no rudder? I haven't been able to find a video setting up this plane. I've managed to get the motors running, the Arm, modes, etc switches set up in the modes tab. I have the Elevator and Ailerons working in the right directions and moving with the correct sticks. When I had this plane working with just a elrs PWM receiver, I managed to get differential thrust working by playing with the mixers in the radio, but your video series here says all of that is done in INAV and not to mess with the radio mixer. I am using the Matek F405 VTOL FC but I haven't converted it to VTOL yet. I'm just trying to get it flying as a normal plane for now. Your video series has been a huge help so far. You're like the Bardwell of planes. Or maybe Bardwell is the Painless of quads.
I have a setup video for the Ranger T-1. Check it out. I've been making RC content a lot longer than most 😊
I want to build one of these and let it fly around my town from waypoint to waypoint, I don’t know why but the concept of autonomous flight and autonomy in general is fascinating
Check your local RC laws, things like that are not allowed in lots of places.. Happy flying!
@@Painless360 My country doesn't care lol I live in a desert basically, thank you though
Is there any place to buy these matek flight controllers or otherwith the pins already soldered??
I'm not sure. I've not seen them for sale. Soldering is a essential skill for the modern hobby if you want to repair, upgrade or build something. See my videos on it Best of luck
Thanks for your video series. I had set up the F405 before. I reversed the wrong servos in the transmitter. But the stabilization went in the wrong direction. I then corrected that in Inav. Is this procedure permissible or do I have to undo the changes in the transmitter and set everything in Inav?
You never reverse the channels on the radio... Best of luck
@@Painless360 O.k. thank you!
Something is weird: I reset my reverse settings in the transmitter and tested the rudder effects. Although I haven't changed anything in Inav, the rudder effects are still correct!?
All setup steps shown in the series... Best of luck
Just received a new model that uses Y cables on flaps and ailerons down to a single connector to the flight controller, am I best to change these into their own individual servo leads or is there an easy way to set this up in inav?
Assuming that the manufacturer of the model did the setup of the servos and linkages well then you shouldn't need to split the cables. Of you have enough PWM outputs on the flight controller than you just plug the flap y cable into one of the flap outputs etc... best of luck!
Should the rudder move opposite to the ailerons for right and left turn?
Usually for a coordinated left turn (for example) you would aileron left and rudder slightly left too....
HI
I have a problem with a matek f405vtol that I use for a Multiplex easystarr 3:
In stabilized mode the servos move correctly until the engine turns, as soon as the engine turns they move slowly or stop.
As soon as I switch to manual mode everything works fine even with the engine running.
Can you give me some help please?
You're testing on the bench, right? Without feeling movement from flight, odd things can happen on the bench... Happy flying
Dear P360! So far I used Arduplane, now I try Inav. One thing is not clear, how to limit the throttle in manual and in autonomus modes? I have liion battery, in Arduplane I could do it easy but I can not find the option here. THX!
github.com/iNavFlight/inav/pull/6929 may be worth a look
@@Painless360 Thank ypu!
Hi Lee, great series. I am trying to setup a Volantex ASW28 with a Matek 405 Wing. I want to add a Pan/Tilt camera mount on channels 7 and 8. I have a Crossfire Nano, and a Beitian 220 GPS.
Everything you showed in the previous video worked perfectly. GPS works, receiver works, OLED works, I can also start the motor. But none of the six connected servos work (servo rail has 5V). When I use the status command on CLI tab, it shows:
PWM output init error: Not enough servo outputs/timers
I am running INAV 5.1.0 and used the inav_5.1.0_MATEKF405SE.hex target Any ideas what could be the reason?
Enabled me outputs?
@@Painless360 If you are talking about "Enable motor and servo output" this is ON
Good. What other troubleshooting have you already done?
@@Painless360 Checked Power on the servo rail, i see PWM values change when I use the headtracker (from your tutorial!). Servos just do not move and I get the message in the CLI
OLED is working, calibrating was fine, GPS is good, I set ARM on Channel 5 and Mode on Channel 6, all signals from the receiver can be seen on the receiver page. Elevator Servo is on S3 of the Matek, Ailerons are on S4 and S5, Rudder is on S6, S7 is Pan and S8 is Tilt
Hi can I use a spektrum rx with the flight controller like the matek
Possibly. The issue with Spektrum recievers is you need SBUS to connect to a flight controller and that isn't something common on that kit. Best of luck
@@Painless360 hi Lee for future reference Spektrum have an SBUS dedicated Rx, the SPM4651T I have just discovered
None of my servos or ESC does anything despite inav showing the transmitter is set up properly I'm using and F405-WMN with pins 7-11 wired to a servo PDB just like in the diagram
Outputs are not enabled. Keep watching... Happy flying
@@Painless360 it was my servo PDB install and mixing settings I finally got everything working. Hell of a learning curve on these. Now I just gotta learn how to make the missions run. I get a message that says disable nav before mission or something on my osd
Then you've got something like RTH selected when you ARM.. Check your mode settings...
I figured it out thanks for replies.
I just setup a new H743 WLITE with inav 5.0 and im only able to see 2 battery cells no matter which battery I attach to the FC, is this an issue anyone has had or does it sound like a bad FC?
INAVFLIGHT has a few settings for battery detection. Usually by setting cells to 'auto' it'll figure it out. If a brand new installation is having a problem, report it to the developers via a bug report on Github... best of luck
@@Painless360 found the issue, battery voltage scale needs setting to 2100 instead of 1100, matek have the info (hidden) on the product support page
Hey! I've got this issue. Once I power up my h743 wing fc board my esc starts beeping as it would not be able to arm itself. Servos work just fine. When I bypass fc, and connect esc directly to RX it works fine, arms right away. Any idea what I have missed in inav setup?
ESC calibration ;)
@@Painless360 in INAV or manually (old school throttle stick up while powering up) ?
@@Painless360 I figured that out, thanks!
Glad you did. I cover it in all my INAV for beginners series... Those videos will get you in the air successfully...
Hi I'm having a problem setting up my vtail I have double checked the connection and they are plugged in right the elevator movement is working but the rudder movement is reversed. How do I fix this?
If you've done all of the reversing as show, then you can swap the connections for the v-tail over, and start the reversing process again (never touch the radio). I've had this rarely..
@@Painless360 okay I will try this, I was able to find a fix but I don't think it's the correct way to do it. If I change the yaw weight percentages from -50 to 50 and then they move in the right direction but I have a feeling that will cause problems.
That can work too... Happy flying
why is the next part private🤔🤔
Thanks for the question, th-cam.com/video/NZQUYreTJQQ/w-d-xo.html explains why it appears as 'Private' or only viewable via a playlist at the moment. Thanks for the question.
