    The prices of some of these drones I recommend 👌 having a GPS. Our hobby is not getting cheaper. Thank you for your time and effort to make this hobby enjoyable 😉.

    An overview of INAV compass setup would be awesome. I use INAV on my fixed wings, but have never used it with a quad.

    Hi Lee, Great video and information about Betaflight GPS, I just finished my 7in Source one lr and I have Betaflight right now and it works great for my needs. But someday I would like to try INAV. Thanks for the video and information.

    One question I have is when you talk about adding telemetry onto your display, how do you choose which options you want to show and how do you place them where you want them on the screen?

      For FPV? So it appears over the top of the video in your goggles?

    so I am building a drone that has the Speedybee F405V4 with the RDQ Mach 3 VTX, and a HappyModel 2.4Ghz ELRS receiver, Phoenix 2SP cam. I haven't picked a GPS yet because I am still not sure what I need. I'm not ready for stunt flying and more interested in the video aspect. If I am understanding these videos correctly, INAV is more along the line of what I would need. I want my drone to come home and also hover in position. Do I need a GPS with a compass and magnetometer? I was looking at this one for my build if compatible GEPRC GEP-M10-DQ Series GPS Module. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Is there any way to make gps lock faster? I would like to use it, but if i wait for gps lock on nazgul eco dc 5, it drains about 50% of 1550mAh battery. I have about half of flight time comparing to the normal start, without waiting for GPS to lock. This is silly :|

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Modern GPS units that are M10 based lock faster in the testing here. I did make a little 5v plug for my older quads that allowed me to power the GPS for a few mins to lock BEFORE plugging in the flight battery... I've just swapped one of my older quads to an M10 GPS for this very reason..

    Is there any way to get the telemetry off of a betaflight drone to a computer via telemetry? Would be neat to track a drones flight path with software during the flight.

    • @Painless360
      @Painless360  ปีที่แล้ว

      You should be able to, using logs or saved telemetry. See th-cam.com/video/9f0ApQtwop8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ot4q-YRS0WvAP_at for how I do it with INAV.... Happy flying

    Hi, i have configured everything but after locking in to 25+ sats on it but in osd compass its pointing 20-30 degrees off when pointed to north. Is it going to be problem ? And if it is how do i correct it ? Gps is mounted on rear leg on right just mentioning for info.

      @ i thought gps have everything. This is my first build. I have geprc m1024q gps installed. I did not find anything on betaflight for calibration watched most of tutorials on gps. Though drone is hovering stable without any filter or pid tuning. Let’s see how does it do if i try it on larger space. I need full flight test to be done. So far everything looks normal except home point direction of osd but i didn’t fly it more to 10 meters distance.
