Awesome topic. No one talks about head trackers and PTZ any more... I haven't done this myself since way back with ardupilot, I think it was on an actual Arduino board with 10 DOF or something zip tied to sticks or some other junk I slapped together haha! I probably watched a Painless360 video as a guide back then! I'm glad to see things like iNav developing and the community steadily growing. Just want to say Thanks for all your hard work Lee. I know running a channel like this isn't easy (although I'm sure it's also fun! LOL) Last year, I got back into RC aircraft after about a 5 year hiatus. I was glad to see guys like you and a few others from when I was a baby pilot are still active every week. Always a trustworthy, informative, useful, and correct source of information. "We" (the whole friggin community) appreciate the crap out of you. Especially guys like me who don't have any other pilots around to learn from and have to work this stuff out solely through internet research and youtube videos. Thanks a ton!

@salukikev 2 года назад

I had added an improvised pan/tilt bypassing INAV directly to receiver outputs. I may try to switch this based on this video, but I wonder how much control you can achieve with this? My problem is that my servos are too fast resulting in a herky-jerky camera moves. I'd like to achieve more cinematic motion and Im not sure you could get this by just lowering rates. My controller is a secondary thumbstick so I'd like to make motion relative (to a limit) rather than absolute. That is to say, I move joystick left and it moves maybe 4 steps left per second. I have read there is a way to achieve this with a Taranis & LUA script, but so far I have not succeeded. Any suggestions?

@TobyMuirson 3 года назад

How do I add a switch like the old Hobbyking LED device that has same connector as a servo but on a quadcopter running inav? Thank you.

@Painless360 3 года назад

You'd like need to find an output on the controller that can output the PWM and use this process. Many quadcopter flight times controllers don't have spare pins for things like that. Best of luck

@GUARD14N 2 года назад

Is there a way to configure a button/switch on the transmitter to recenter the camera forward? Instead of having to manually recenter every time after panning or tilting.

@Painless360 2 года назад

Not that I have seen. Best of luck

@ShermanKenB Год назад

In your opinion could you use Inav on a mini quad to make something that's more like your commercial camera drones? Also, do you know of any pan tilt servos that could handle say a gopro 10?

@Painless360 Год назад

Yes, but you'd have to work on the tuning. Ardupilot is better for larger filming rigs at the moment... happy flying!

@eternalfpv9461 3 года назад

I have the f411 wse board and on my pan and tilt the pan servo only works on rc yaw. In angle mode if I pan it’s normal but if I use cruise mode the pan actually turns the plane. Any idea of what I’m doing wrong. It’s in a Dart XL so I don’t use rudder

@Painless360 3 года назад

I would not use the controls for the model to control the gimbal. Maybe duplicate the yaw onto a spare channel on the radio and use that instead?

@markgiles8527 3 года назад

I have a cheap 3d printer. It's a Cocoon Create (a rebrand of the Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2). I purchased it from Aldi here in Australia. From memory it was about $300. I just upgraded the extruder with a Flexion Extruder Single Bundle and now it's Kiss Ass! I love printing with ABS and it does so flawlessly. Total cost so far is about $600 AUD now. Not too bad.

Trying this and the servo (I need pan only) centers but won't move with the slider. Everything seems to be working in the reciever and output tabs. I'm using a tx16s with the inav fixed wing group opentx model v2. Running a fullsize crossfire and micro v2 RX. board is matek f405 wing.

@GlideStxr Год назад

hey lee, im new and having a bit of a problem with my headtracker in inav. I got it working and i see the inputs moving in the receiver tab in inav when i move my goggles around. However, i am not getting any movement on my pan/tilt gimbal. please note that it seems like i can only use TR1 and TR2 (as opposed to tr5 and tr6 in the video) as my trainer channels for orqa fpv.one pilot built in headtracker. I noticed in inav i am not able to select RC channel 1 and 2 for headtracking, im assuming 1-4 are already being used up by elevons.. what should i do? should i just not use built in headtracker and use an external HT instead (hopefully preconfig tr5 and tr6 as pan/tilt respectively)? or is there any way for me to change the behavior of my built in headtracker to use 5 and 6 for pan/tilt instead of 1 and 2.....? theres not much literature out there going over this for the orqas... just ONE guide. also i am on radiomaster tx16s. any help or guidance would be massively appreciated

@Painless360 Год назад

Channels that the headtracker uses to send the signals to the radio (seen as TR1 etc.) can be added to any output channel on the radio. Usually assigning TR1 to CH7 and TR2 to CH8 would be useful. You should see them in the reciever tab moving..Then forward those to spare PWM outputs... Best of luck

@GlideStxr Год назад

@@Painless360 okay thank you! that being said, i am quite confused on what i need to set as my "inputs" in the inav mixer tab. the input tab on my radio has pan's source set to TR1 and tilt's source set to TR2. radio mixer tab has ch5 and 6 as pan/tilt - pan source TR1, tilt source TR2. and then currently i have servo 5's input set to "RC Channel 5" and servo 6 set to "RC Channel 6".... please highlight what im doing wrong lol i have no idea what im doing. would you be able to expand on "forward those to spare pwm outputs" or direct me to a video of you covering it? sorry for noob questions... i just wanna fly :)

@franciscoeterovichbarra8691 Год назад

Hi Lee, thank you for this video. I'm looking to set up a fixed wing aircraft (with conventional tail) and I've been struggling to use INAV (first build). I do have two FC available, a Matek F405STD and a Wing FC-10 one, both give me the option to map only 4 servos (F405 has seven SX pads, but it seems to let me use only 4 as S5 or S7 is not being mapped when I put RC Channel 7 or 8 (which are my HT options). The same is with the Wing FC-10 because it has 6 PWM outputs but they are divided into M1-M2 and S3-S6 which only gives me 4 servos available. The plane has 2 servos in the ailerons (I can connect them with a Y-cable), 1 servo for the elevator and 1 servo for the rudder. I want to add 2 additional servos (Pan&Tilt) but it seems that I can't connect that to any of the FC's I have, I have been researching and it's not that straight forward to remap anything on INAV as it is on Betaflight, should I switch to Ardupilot instead? Or is there a known way to get S5 port working in the F405? I can do the trick with 5 servos (1 for each movement of the plane + Pan&Tilt) but I haven't been able to do so. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks again for all your content, it is very very useful and clear to follow you, keep going!

@franciscoeterovichbarra8691 Год назад

Is it possible to connect the pan & tilt to a conventional Frsky receiver pwm outputs (in signal 7&8) and connect the roll, pitch, yaw servos signal to the flight controller? Maybe that's another solution to my problem, but I'm not sure that's actually possible or it will work, I can try later.

@franciscoeterovichbarra8691 Год назад

I'm going to answer myself, yes, you can connect to a conventional rx PWM output and it will work, therefore you only need SX signals in the FC for stabilizing purposes or others, normal PWM outputs, for a headtracker, will do the trick. Got everything working now, a couple of extra grams with the big receiver but it is what it is, thank you very much! Anyway, I connected the wingfc-10 FC and for some reason I'm not getting anything on S4 (don't know why) still getting the stabilization done using a Y-cable for the ailerons servos (only using 3 outputs from the FC). It seems the S4 port is not working properly.

Hi Painless, Great video, I was doing the same, it looks functional but I get a strange behavior, maybe you can clear this out, The Tx show smooth servo while sliding but in inav (outputs and receiver) it is jumping in fixed stairs like a 6 positions switch, It causes the pan/tilt to move robotically instead of smooth.
