Well... after so much time I finally managed to get the Mini Pix on the Nano Talon, and even did a few flights. Turns out it is working perfectly, and is now even officially supported by ArduPilot, although the code is still in beta, so installing it is not super straightforward, but it is doable! Wiring is a bit of a hassle... but it is the cheapest Pixhawk out there, especially considering you also get a power module, and a GPS unit!

I bought the Radiolink Gps for my Inav quad and it is amazing! Very quick lock, great precision and a lot of sats.
Glad to know you like it! :)
Oh boy, have the same Pix and same issues here, family, motivation lazyness and other stuff in the line.....
Good Job!
Hahaha, seems to be a common theme! :D
Nerds unite! Real bummer about the rolling in the nano talon, but great to see another arduplane hardware option given a solid test. Going to buy a minipix to try now!
Yeah, having options is very nice! :) Good luck!
You can try tweaking AHRS_TRIM_Y to adjust how level the plane flies in FBWA.
Yeah, that is what I meant when I said I was going to trim it! :D
yay!!!! Looking great
Thanks! :)
Motivation is absolutely an issue, especially with a young family! Is it really an M8N.....
That is true!!! Yup... have seen up to 18-19 sats on the OSD!
Very helpful with information and real-world tests, super informative about equipment, batteries and LongRange as a whole. Learned a lot from this channel
You rock!
After watching most of your videos, today was my maiden flight with Mini Pix and 4S2P/5AhLi-Ion config on handmade FT Spear, It flew great, made the test mission flawlessly, cruising a bit fast 55km/h but OK, the GoPro video looks stable and clean, got 41km range with 13.09v at the end and everything was smooth as butter.
BUT The compass variance error and bad logging are super annoying. I tried to disable all compasses but got Bad Compass Health error. Is there a way to disable it altogether MP 1.3.7. Can it fly really OK without using the compasses?
Also any hints for Bad Logging, I've tried 4-5 different SDs ranging from 2GB to 32GB (FAT16 and FAT32) without luck, have any info on solving this too?
Keep it up.
Fly Safe :)
Thank you! Actually I've never used a compass on a plane, and I've never had issues for not using one! I just uncheck every tick box in the compass tab... and that usually sorts it!
So good to see a thorough display. I have three Mini Pix. All have passed the first steps up to and including Loiter (On a Copter). But so far the installed unit has not responded to the Auto command to fly a three waypoint mission at 3 metres alt. From Loiter it climbs to about 10 metres holds stable for 5 seconds and then descends and lands. No attempt to reach waypoint 2. I am using the Radio link version of Mission Planner. Any suggestions ??? Birdmanpete.
I see you already solved it! :)
Hi! i have ZOHD nano talon and the plane does not fly as many claim.
It does something like cyrcle and its hard to trim it. I was thinking to remove the gyro stabilizer that came with.
I'm thinking to install 2 servos for ailerons on the wings for better controll, what do you recomend?
And of course adding a flight controller.
It is possible there might be a problem with the stock stabilizer, so replacing it might be a good idea! I have also though about replacing the aileron servos and moving them to the wings... and even got some servos for that, but haven't gotten around to do it... though I do think it is a good idea and might improve things, so try it! People also do recommend the flat wings mod, although that is quite a bit more invasive in the plane's construction.
I don’t know when I will do all the modifications because now all our time and money goes to our newborn baby boy. 👼🏻
Yeah... I know how that feels!
Be careful removing the tape from the GPS receiver if you didn't put some heat shrink or similar on there before taping it down. If it pulls the foil off the ceramic block, the receiver is toast! (Ask me how I know . . .) :(
Haha, thanks for letting me know... will keep this in mind when I get to removing it, although this particular tape isn't the strongest one I've used...
Mark O been there. Lol
Fantastic video, can I ask what is perhaps a silly question from an ‘old’ noob... is it necessary to also purchase the hk micro telemetry kit and what does it do ?
Not necessary, it is basically the same as the USB cable directly to the computer... only this makes the link wireless! Not necessary, but convenient when setting everything up in the beginning!
ArxangelRC you’re a gent, thanks for the reply
You are welcome! :)
I'm trying to figure out how you've wired the flight control servos and motor but it's very difficult to tell. I'd appreciate some clarification from anyone who has gotten their system to wotk. Thanks!
Perhaps this video might clear things up? th-cam.com/video/GCBP5DiBvJc/w-d-xo.html
Not sure I heard in your video correctly but did you use auto launch with the mini Pix? If so what special parameter adjustments do you use? I am having difficulties getting motor to engage in auto launch. I have no other problems otherwise.
Yes, I do use auto take off with all Pixhawk controllers that I have! Not sure how you have programmed it... but there are no params to be adjusted for that to work! I setup a take off point on the flight planning page, give it climb angle and altitude, and let it rip!
@@ArxangelRC thanks. not sure if I am doing some thing wrong but I have not been able to get motors to power on. i will mess with it some more today and see what I can do.
OK... so you can't arm the motors to begin with?
But why did you remove the omnibus f4 in the first place? Were there any problems?
It wasn't an F4... it was an F3... and couldn't run ArduPlane sadly, only iNav... and that tried to kill the plane more than once, so I gave up on it!
What value did they use in roll and pitch pids ??? calibrated with autotune, can help informing these values, I have one and this is shaking a lot.
Sadly PIDs don't help fix the shaking... hardware mods do!
Hi. Volantex Ranger EX 757-3 1980mm Long Range FPV RC PNP or Volantex RC Ranger G2 - 1.2m glider plane 757-6 PNP, which of the two models is the best platform for a Long Range project, up to 20 km? Or, please, can you suggest another model that I can buy in the EU these next 2 or 3 days? I travel in a few days and wanted to take the model with me! Many thanks for the reply! Let's go forward! Best regards
Actually this is hard to say... both planes are COMPLETELY different - one is 2m wingspan, the other is 1.2m wingspan. For 20kms out I would go for the Ranger EX... but then it depends on what you need to do with it! The Ranger 2000 might be a more suitable option to be honest.
Really, thank you very much for the feedback. I asked this question a few months ago and I was hesitating this whole time ... I bought yesterday the 757-3, the landing gear and interior space ended up determining my option. Fly with 2 x batteries and all the electronics need to lift flight and get landed more sustainably, won this model! Now, I'm going to work on your electronics! Renovo, thank you very much for the feedback. Best regards...
Good luck on your build mate! :)
Thank you, will begin assembling the EX Ranger 757-3 this weekend ... then I give feedback about it! Best regards...
Fingers crossed! :)
Hello, great video, how can I calibrate ESCs on the mini pix? I tried to do it with the lever up and all the standard procedure, but it doesn't work, any ideas ?, the motor only beeps continuously every time I start
You have to move the stick in a certain portion to arm if no arm button and change the safety start number in the mission planner,I have the new pixhawk4 mini and servo rail needs power so my esc have 5volt built in bec that powers that rail and two servos only,and I have a power module that power the motor from battery and other side of the pixhawk to.
When you power everything up and arm system, unplug the ESC only from the power module, do not disconnect the battery so the Pix can remain powered! Throttle up, plug in the ESC, and after the first beeps throttle down, you should hear the confirmation beeps, and be done!
Hello, help me, I have a mini pix that does not respond, investigating I discovered that I have to modify the firmware of the mini pix, because it does not have the Ramtron FRAM chip installed, since it is a 9/9/19 version, could you share a modified firmware to load it on my mini pix?, no firmware version I found works for me, I'm looking for the "plane" version, thanks.
Hey... hmmmm... that is the first I am hearing of such a problem! Also, I do not have a firmware file to share. Try the ardu firmware download website, and just go back in time... in the folders, if possible...
I am thinking of getting this with a full PX4 Pixhawk with Pitot and telemetry. For a first long range fpv plane with autopilot. Do you think this would suit the plane or would you recommend another FC.
How much of a long range are you looking to do? Why this plane? A full Pixhawk would be too big for this plane and is just not reasonable!
ArxangelRC This is going to be my first fpv plane. I want this plane to have fun and as a platform to learn to use all the long range stuff like fpv gear and autopilots. So at a later time I can build a bigger and better plane. As for range I want to go at least 2km up to lets say 10km. Do you have any other autopilot or plane to suggest? (I would like to try autonomous functions). Thanks.
Hi, actually I can recommend something else... but it is bigger! As an autopilot a very good option is an Omnibus F4 Pro board (goo.gl/iivVJN) flashed with ArduPlane (th-cam.com/video/LyNlnVo8TdA/w-d-xo.html), all the functions you could ever need, along with a current sensor and an OSD all on one board, and for a plane... a good flyer is the Ranger 2000 (goo.gl/EG5jrK) for instance... it is bigger than the Nano Talon... but it should be easier to handle and not as prone to stalls!
Sorry to have bothered you. Problem(s) solved. My Mission Plan did not show a waypoint 1
The list below the map did. The map did not.
Also reset the Altitude to Absolute as I am flying over flat ground and in line of sight.
Feeling confident with my economical flight controller with all Radiolink components.
Right, so it is working now?
Where can i find that sensor module for current and voltage?
www.rctimer.com/?product-1125.html
great video as always! could you say me id arduplane is better than inav? what is you favorite code
please could you give me you point of view between 2 software
eclampsie I will definitely give you an opinion on the 2 Autopilots. Arduplane is much more mature and has way more support and functions plus the GUI and Ground Control apps are WAY better. You got your choice with Arduplane- Mission Planner, tower app ,QGroundControl,ect... inav is inav.. it’s ok for basic stuff but honestly I would never use inav in a vehicle that will be carrying a expensive HD camera just because of the reliability factor that I think inav lacks. Inav is getting better but I don’t ever see it being as robust as Arduplane/Ardupilot.
All that being said most F4 boards out there now can support Arduplane by flashing them over and that makes things a lot nicer Because now with pixhawk or Apm you have to add all those extra components like osd current sensor, so on. With simple F4 omnibus or the likes all is included on the board which saves a ton of space and weight.
I’m looking forward to the day someone develops a all in one Ardupilot board for fixwing that includes airspeed sensor sonar current sensors ect... I will definitely pay for that!!!
Yeah, what Sky said! My choice is Arduplane over iNav, any day!
thanks for you help !!! i have bougth two f405 wing from matek to use chibios and i can but chuck from disco parot with everything on it for only 100euro
eclampsie 👍
Can anyone help whetherThis autopilot can be used for eflite convergence VTOL ???
Yes, I think there is a VTOL firmware available for this flight controller! It would be the same as for the Pixhawk!
Myn is eflite mini convergence model and it's a MAV can I use this autopilot for this model
Should be possible... but I am not well versed into the specifics! Doesn't that model already have a controller in it?
where do I get the firmware for the minosd?
This one was the improved firmware: github.com/night-ghost/minimosd-extra
Do you know what you have to do to output RSSI value from frsky receiver to the minipix parameter wise?
Which FrSky receiver? There are a number of models!
@@ArxangelRC Yes of course, I am only talking about the rssi pin of the mini pix that is dedicated to receiving rssi signal, and what parameters you have to change, mainly rssi_pin param to make ardupilot software understand that i am using the minipix rssi input.
Right, you have to select that it is the analog pin, and then set the voltage range on the pit from 0 to 3.3v, as the FrSky receivers operate on that voltage. I think this should be enough... and also the enable RSSI param... don't remember it exactly... should be enabled... or something!
@@ArxangelRC yes but you also have to set the specific rssi_pin 11 or something for exaple to make it understand where to expect the input.
Oh, right... I think that was 103 on the Pixhawk firmware.
Hi, I'm trying to set Nano Talon with Pixhawk 2.4.6 and Flysky iA6b controller. The Mission Planner responds to everything but when i connect the battery to the pix, the motor constantly beeps in 1 second interval. The motor doesnt throttle with stick movement. Please provide some suggestions.
With everything power up and Pixhawk armed, try unplugging only the ESC from the power wires, and then plug it back in, see if that scheme works!
No result with that
Can you please tell if the following battery Is compatible with Nano Talon's ESC :
11.1 V, 50 C, 5000 mAh Li-Poly.
If not I'll have to buy a new one.
@@karthikprakashsivakumar3973 Well... voltage wise it is... weight wise though... might be too much, and also may be too big! Did you manage to sort out the ESC thing? Unplugging and plugging it only does help in the cases where I've had this issue!
Nope it didn't work.
Now, I've got the solid green light working so it's armed. But still the motors not servo respond to Tx.
Should I calibrate ESC connected to Pixhawk ? If so, how?
Privet! mosno skazat` otkuda vi pokupili rctimer power module? i takje Ja hotel bi polzovat s etim modulem...
Got it from RCTimer!
@@ArxangelRC also we have been using on board the APM and Pixhawk?! thanks
A very good alternative to the Mini Pix... and more convenient for a number of reason is this: goo.gl/iivVJN flashed with ArduPlane.
@@ArxangelRC do you have any link which I can buy the power module?
Do the flat wings mod!
Will do!
Friend can pass settings that used on arduplane
Hi, drop me a message on Facebook, I think I still have the param file somewhere.
how i want to install airspeed sensor on mini pix
Well... not sure which port it should go to... personally I've never used an airspeed sensor... so can't really comment much on that!
@@ArxangelRC thanks sir
You are welcome! :)
Flat wing nano talon!
And so it shall be! :)
Diehedral go bye bye.
Already did! :D
Awesome! Btw what CG did you end up with? Stock 35mm?
So far I've been using the stock CG.
does it support otg? smartphone connection?
I have not tried that!
@@ArxangelRC Can you check it please. i want to buy it but heard that it doesnt support smartphone connection. by the way how it works?
@@sabitbagirli7399 It works OK, will have to see which plane I have it in, though I am not a fan of smartphone connections... if you put a bluetooth module on the mavlink port, you will be able to connect to it wirelessly anyway... so why bother with an OTG?
@@ArxangelRC in terms of range telemetry is better thats why i want to connect it by otg. ok thank you for help
@@sabitbagirli7399 Wait... what is the goal here... ? To connect to it via cable on the ground, for setup... or to connect to it while in the air?
Hahaha, nerds xD ...im dead, but it's true though. Sorry I'm late...
Haha, you are not late, its still current information! :)
