I cant see an adc pad on the board, but I know rssi is 3.3v right? Maybe thats it? I tried it last night in a calibration flight and it seemed to work once it was flying in loiter.

Thank You very much for a very instructive Video. I’m planning to use the FC along with my DJI Ocysync AIR system which fortunately has an Sbus on the video link receiver and therefore enable to use my X10S express in Slave Mode with a cable connection to my DJI Google’s ( in other words both control and video signal via the Google’s). Can you tell me exactly from which pin the OSD signal from the Matek F405 goes ? The DJI Ocysync has an inputwire for that purpose so all the information can be displayed in the Goggles. My Best Regards Kim/DK

@ArxangelRC

Жыл бұрын

Hey, what kind of signal does that system expect? Mavlink, or video? Because the OSD is actually overlaid in the flight controller on the analogue video signal, and then it puts out a video signal complete with the OSD overlay. I don't think the DJI system would be able to use that. Alternatively, it may need some data stream with the needed information, which would be Mavlink, however I am not certain if DJI supports that protocol.

To make the auto takeoff site independent, just put an RTL command after takoff. Well that's irrelevant now, since there is a dedicated takoff flight mode which enables you to have both auto takeoff and later on a separate auto mission. Just my 5c.

If it works correctly in stabilization, and not from the radio, then you have to reverse some channel in the radio probably, to get it working! Usually that is how it works for me!

Sorry but yes planes should use a compass with Ardu. I know, everything you've read says dont use a compass. What it is supposed to say is " Dont use internal compass. Only use a compass from your GPS." I know some will disagree and argue but it will make a huge diffrence to your setup. There is to much documentation for the coders to change but they are the ones that gave me this information and have it setup on their planes. But only use an external Compass. You can change your switch channel by changing the FLTMODE-CH from 5 to whatever switch you want in the Advanced tab. I'm not going to argue the compass thing you can either use it for better flights or not. Hope this helps some out there 😁

@ArxangelRC

Yeah, sure, you can change that, but especially for beginners, it will be easier to keep things simple to start with! As for the compass... actually I have not read or being told not to use it!!!! ALL of this... everything I say and do, is a result of experience! Sometimes of painfully tedious and frustrating experience, dealing with compasses! Actually when I flashed the ArduPlane firmware to the F405 Wing... the compass was disabled by default, and in fact... I have been flying without a compass on my planes for years now... and have yet to see a major issue, especially for pure FPV flying! It can be argued that it is useful if you do a lot of autonomous missions... but just for flying... really don't see the point! GPS direction is perfectly adequate as a plane never sits still so there is always movement to help calculate the direction!

Need some help here again, please. I installed the Matek405 wing on my Albabird with Arduplane and on maiden (in FBWA) have lost throttle power after about 10 seconds of taking off, coming to a gentle stabilized descent and landed. This has repeated itself 3 times, but in the 3rd time when it was close to the ground I powered up again and it responded, shot up back in the air and I circled around gaining altitude for landing closer to where I was. It was very fast and the turn angle was not high enough so I lost control and crashed. Anyway, the throttle behavior was erratic, to say the least. I was using a brand new fully charged 4S1P li-ion (balanced, IR of cells about 20) in the first two take-offs and changed to another new identical battery for the 3rd flight as I couldn't think of anything else. I'm using the recommended tiny 30A ESCs on the recommended 3 bladed 7 in props, with Sunnysky 980kv motors (maybe on the underpowered side but I'm here for endurance, not to win any race). What I did do differently from your instructional set up video was using a Y-harness for the ESCs signal and ground and only used the S1 pin and ground for the two ESCs (instead of using S1 and S2 for each motor). Would it have anything to do with it? Can you guys think of anything else for me to troubleshoot once I get it out of the tree? Many thanks.

Well this sounds weird! Do you do auto take off, or just put the plane in FBWA, throttle up and throw it? Don't see how a battery would have anything to do with it, or the autopilot settings! Is this the only plane you fly with this radio? Has it done this on other models?

​@@dekiaza F405 does not have an S.port... it can have the telemetry port programmed to output FrSky telemetry data. What I describe at 14:10 is how to setup RSSI, which is not the same as telemetry! I've never setup FrSky telemetry on ArduPlane myself, only heard of people doing it... so I can't be certain... but in Mission Planner, in the Full Parameter List tab you will have to find the Serial port that is setup for the Mavlink telemetry, since I am assuming you have connected the R9 Slim's S.Port to that same output on the F405, and in there on the right you will see listed more options for this port, in addition to Mavlink! I think one of the options was the FrSky Telemetry, so input the number it is given on the left, and write params, then power cycle the FC... and if all is good and there are no addition steps to be taken... this should do it! But again... this is only from what I've noticed while looking around Mission Planner, am not certain it will work so easily since I've never done it, but you can give it a try nonetheless! :)
