Read more about the upcoming 'fixed wing landing' stuff here: github.com/Scavanger/inav/blo...
NOTE: To use the sensor in INAV (covered in the autolanding video to come), then you also need to setup a few CLI commands to set the max detectable height to use as 10m - i.e.
set nav_max_surface_altitude=1000

Thanks so much for this! I have installed TF Mini Plus rangefinders in an AtomRC Dolphin and a Heewing T2 (build in progress). I eagerly await your reporting on iNAV 7.1 auto-land.

@@Painless360 Very good. For now, I will try to work up the courage to try landing while wearing my goggles. ;>) So far, I am reverting to LOS for that.

It can be a little scary the first few times but once you get used to it, it's super easy to land with a 'pilots eye view' Best of luck

Ok now you’ve done it. I have never wanted to use the auto lander on my Inav set ups because of the way it slides into the ground but now with this rangefinder, the plane could actually flare, wow.

I'm a bit surprised this plugs into a UART rather than I2C such as a compass or airspeed sensor. That said, I'm no programmer and don't really understand those nuances. It's very cool to see these functions make their way into iNav. I do appreciate setting up a complex model just for sakes of understanding how it works and the sheer gadgetry of it.
@Painless360
@Painless360 2 месяца назад
Other sensors use the UART too.. Until 7.1, their benefit on fixed wing has been limited.. Happy flying

Thanks for this one. The last meters of Autolanding a quad with INAV is not so critical because you can slow down the descending speed a lot for the last few meters and motors will stop after autodetecting landing. For planes it is a different situation in INAV because of the baro/gps drift as you explained. I'm manual landing in INAV mostly 2 to 3 meters below ground level because of this drift 😊 That's too much difference for flaring in Autolanding. This Lidar / Rangefinder seems a good option.

FYI: If you have a spare 4.5V pad you can also connect the range finder to it and it will be powered by USB power as well
@Painless360
@Painless360 Месяц назад
Be careful doing that. Trying to power too many things from the USB port can cause problems... Happy flying!

That’s crazy how quickly flight controllers have developed. Definitely a nice touch but takes the fun out of flying. Would be a great aid for beginners to save their models.

I presume the last part of the landing zone would have to be pretty level to avoid confusing iNav. It would be interesting to know how long that critical part really is. Could the plane land over a hedge without flipping out?
@Painless360
@Painless360 2 месяца назад
We will see. I'd expect that the area needs to be nice and flat as this is less about terrain following and more about detecting the point where a 'flare' needs to happen...

Hi there nice to know, would you be able to use this to help you to fly low and level over short grass or a carm lack say 1 to 2 m

@uavr1286
@uavr1286 2 месяца назад
Would I be right in thinking this is only going to make a bice landing if your aporoach is over flat level ground? I'm thinking that approach over undulating/uneven ground will produce strange behaviour. I wonder whether flying over a hedge or bush would even cause odd effects?
@Painless360
@Painless360 2 месяца назад
Stay tuned for when V7.1 is released. I'd suspect that needing a nice, open and flat ground is important for auto-landing to work well..

Thinking it might be cheaper to cannibalize a cheap laser tapevmeasure and get greater range... how I passed electronics, tearing things apart to use in different ways. Crazy but fun.. take care. ze

@Painless360 2 месяца назад
If you figure out how to do that and then add something like an arduino to be able to transmit the values to the flight controller using the right protocol, that would make an interesting video. Best of luck

Thanks for all your great videos. I love your channel - great help for newbies like me who are just getting into the hobby. I have learned quite a bit from your videos and successfully built and flown my very first RC plane which was a foamboard scratchbuild (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eUMpBzy3olY.htmlfeature=shared). I'd love to see a video from you on INAV 7.1 autoland feature.
