@GRDwashere 3 года назад

This and your other beginner's video series is absolutely fantastic. Thanks to you I have successfully installed the ZOHD kopilot in my trainer and successfully taught myself to fly. Now I'm getting into FPV with Inav and a MATEKSYS F722 WING (because that's what you're using) fc following along with this video series. Thank you for your contribution to our hobby, it's easily the very best on youtube for people like myself, I'm not sure where I'd be without it - probably still at the bench trying to decipher the kopilot documentation and not having flown yet I suspect.

Fantastic video, Lee! Thanks a lot! 😃 Let me ask you something... Do you think it's better to start flying manually (I mean an airplane without flight controller or anything) or I should start with iNav right away? I still couldn't build my first airplane. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

@Painless360 3 года назад

You do need to know the basics to setup iNav in a FW so some manual experience is handy. If you can get another pilot to help set it up then things like Angle mode can be a boon to help pilots learn to fly..

Check out those video from a few months ago on tips and tricks with maiden flights etc. Something like a Bixler or AXN is a fab place to start and having a friend to throw it for you in the beginning coupled with some solid time on the simulator will help you avoid a lot of the common mistakes early pilots make..

However my FC doesn't see my spectrum receiver. The receiver serial output connected to Txe on FC PCB. I am using vertion 2.6 of INAV FM. What should I check/retune? Thanks!

Hi your videos have been very helpful. Do you have any tips for changing the orientation of the Matek flight controllers? Most of the build I have been doing I have room for placing them with arrow facing forward but my upcoming builds I need to turn the board 90 degrees. I know some of these board have 2 gyros in them (f765) and wasn’t sure if you even could change the orientation because of this. Thank you

@Painless360 3 года назад

It should work the same as the top builds on the channel. You'll need to try it out and stop when the movement of the model is back to matching the virtual model in configurator.. best of luck

@jeremiahulishney5322 3 года назад

Painless360 Got to test the board orientation change and noticed in the configuration page the roll changes the pitch and pitch changes the roll if you make changes to the angle of the board alignment. This is in inav 5.0.0 using a Matek F405 wing FC.

Thanks for the teachings and upload. I am having trouble even with Zadig to flash firmware. (just noticed impulseRC, so will try it as well) It keeps giving same error message. This same laptop can flash F7 drone FCs on Betaflight, so I thought it already has all the drivers (which I am assuming same for iNav). Question is, if I get this flashed with a friend's mac, will I be able to connect with my laptop and change settings ?

Yes, Zadig only replaces the driver for the DFU part..

Gday Lee All of your videos are so informative and I learn something from every single one. I seem to have nothing but trouble with this electronic stuff, I have a F722-wing i have soldered on all the pins, checked continuity and all seems to be ok, when I plug in my FC to iNav I am unable to connect, when I connect to the computer I only see the red light comes on solid at 3.3, No brief flashing lights at one and zero like on your video. I have installed the STM USB driver and the zadig and have ALSO run the Impulse driver fixer and also held down the DFU button on the F722 but nothing, except "failed to open port" and red light at 3.3 stays on also the FC unit gets warm? I have tried different combinations of trying to connect once"failed to open port " and then restarting iNav without "failed to open port" showing, and I have tried every USB cable in the house.I hope you have another idea, Thank You for any help!

Gday Lee, Is the last part of the video about the CLI inputs related to the fact that the diagram for the F765 and INAV Target states that the "CLI default's after flashing" If not what does "CLI defaults after flashing" mean for us after flashing the board.

@Painless360 3 года назад

I don't understand the question. Can you explain?

@lowriderfpv8440 3 года назад

@@Painless360 Sorry, On the diagram for the wiring for the Maytek f765 in the upper left hand corner it has printed, "INAV Target: MAYTEKF765 ***CLI defaults after flashing". Does that just mean that the CLI returns to defaults after flashing? And the CLI commands that you recommend for a fix wing are improvements to the default settings, like, not having the aircraft land with the RTH function? Thank you so much for responding to my questions and all of your excellent videos. Cheers

@Painless360 3 года назад

Anything in that listing with a *** should be set automatically when flashed (bit I'd still check). That has nothing to do with how the model is setup or flown. That is what is in the linked files - you can see if you look in them.. Best of luck!

@fpvcrumudgeon4576 2 года назад

From your CLI file, it seems the rth_altitude=7000, seems to mean 7000'? If correct, isn't that rather high?

@Painless360 2 года назад

Nope, see what the value means in the docs. You can look any setting here - github.com/iNavFlight/inav/blob/master/docs/Settings.md. 7000 equals 70m or 229ft so is a decent starting height to fly back with. The files are supplied as a guide only. Edit them to your preference but check the units before you change anything. Best of luck!

@OriginalGingaNinja 3 года назад

Hi Lee, on the configuration page there is a warning saying you should increase the i2c speed if your hardware allows. Ive not been able to find any info on this. How do you know what speed to change it to? I usually just bump it up a bit and haven't had a problem but it would be really nice to set it properly? Thanks.

@Painless360 3 года назад

I always leave it at default. If you saw errors on the i2c counter (at the bottom of the screen) then you can reduce the speed. Correctly routed and managed cables in the model should mean you never have to worry about this. Hope that helps.

At the beginning and end of the video the video shows a cable that connects the receiver to the flight controller. It is different on each end. At one end it connect to the receiver. And at the other end it connects with what looks like GPIO (General Purpose Input Output) pins. What is the name of the cable (or wiring) and the name of the ends (one appears white & the other black)? How does one order such an item? And how are the GPIOs attached to the flight controller? Thank you.

@Painless360 2 года назад

Most cables used to connect things in the hobby are Dupont 'servo' cables that are easy to buy in the length you need or get the parts to make them up yourself (see my video on Crimping). Some smaller receivers designed to be used with flight controllers and use SBUS or things like CRSF use different, smaller connectors and they usually come with a cable that you can solder onto to make up what you need. Check out my build series aimed at beginners to see more. Happy flying!

I was trying to set up a Matek F405-Wing last night and it was not able to find/activate the serial port. My cable was a data-transfer capable micro USB cable. I tried booting the fc manually and restarting the configurator. I don't have internet at home yet and my computer is still running Windows 7. It is possible that I need to download drivers and stuff, or it is possible I need an internet connection to configure the flight controller. However, I have the latest FC firmware locally stored on my computer, so flashing should work offline. I have not been able to find anything about this issue because most people who are using something like iNAV do not live somewhere internet is unavailable. (Thankfully Elon Musk saved the day with Starlink, which will arrive tomorrow.) What do you think?

I've never tried to flash a flight controller from a PC that isn't connected to the internet so not sure. It is very possible that drivers are the problem as you should see the FC appear as a DFU device ready fro flashing if you power it on with the boot button pressed in.. Best of luck...

@@Painless360 it is the driver. I have been talking with some folks on github about it. A quick Zadig fix later, and everything is golden!

Looks like a science ... first time I looked at matek website cause luckily I had bought matek 405 wing fc a year ago. I checked the wiring diagramm and inav mixer section and was asking myself if that what I saw could be right like those 6 gps cables for 12 pads on the board here is an example from matek website www.mateksys.com/?portfolio=f405-wing#tab-id-3

@Painless360 3 года назад

The cables are the GND, +5v, Tx and Rx for the GPS data and SCL/SDA pins for the compass. All have corresponding pads/pins on the flight controller shown in the wiring diagram. I don't use the compass in my wing builds as I don't fly in high winds (see my video on compasses that covers why). Happy flying!

No success, and have received a "failed to flush", response that was preceded by "failed to open serial port". While I have reinstalled Zadig and STM32 but don't appear as usb devices. I'll try ImpulseRC next. Maybe that's the answer. take care.

So I have a problem where I can flash Inav but can't get it to connect. It shows that the flash was successful but up top in the inav configurator it doesn't change and show the com port like yours did. I have tried flashing a few different times but I get the same results where I can not connect. I don't know what to do.

Recent windows updates can mess up the drivers. The download links are on the main page. Reinstall them, delete the device and try again.. best of luck
