Perfect video/Perfect timing. Mr Newton, I'm a 40yr old cabinet maker out here in San Diego CA who has been dreaming of flying FPV for years. I don't know a single soul who is into this hobby and unfortunately there's not any helpful friendly shops around to help a guy figure things out that I've found. You Sir, have been the most helpful, patient informative mentor to me. I have an enormous amount of respect and admiration for you and have come to really enjoy your videos and your calm relaxing form of teaching. I can't imagine how I would have been able to put all the pieces of this great hobby together without your guidance. Sincerely, Thank you.

I love the information and way you go about showing how you setup your aircraft, I recently bought the same f405 flight controller per watching your reviews of it and experience with these things and have almost everything setup , I am new to using or flashing firmwares to use the uart ports for recievers, I know it supports sbus , but would the same sbus port support the betafpv elrs pwm micro rx , it's the only elrs rx that binds to my jumper tlite but even when connected to the sbus port it connects, with that it will not translate stick movements, my question is have I done something wrong, have I missed something, or will I have to change settings in inav setup for the flight controller, or something else. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated, I'm just really looking forward to get this setup properly and be able to get my ck wing in the air finally , thank you all in advance for helping me with this issue

Wifi setup in the review video

I finally figured out my issue with a Walksnail Avatar with no OSD. Just putting this out there for other people... I had to solder the Avatar VTX wires to the DJI outputs, NOT the 4 wires for the "analog VTX" that's labeled in the manual.

@AndrewNewton

2 ай бұрын

Well done. Which manual says to use the analog outputs?

@TMacDo243

Ай бұрын

@@AndrewNewton Fair question, and my fault for my misunderstanding. But I will say... the confusion between "tx5" and "vtx" is not clear in either your video or the manual. Having 4 wires from a Walksnail Avatar is more intuitive that it would be connected to the only VTX output with a 4 wire diagram. As someone who doesn't come from an electrical engineering background, "square fits into a square" makes a lot more sense than "square fits into a rectangle." If that makes any sense? There is both an Rx port on analog as well as on digital, so forcing the fit makes sense when it's not specifically clarified. It would be nice for that type of specific clarification in the future. I appreciate all your objective and subjective inputs and your hard work that goes into your videos, but just trying to give some valuable feedback from my perspective. I am currently struggling with getting the OSD to show up with the speedybee f405 wing mini because the manual isn't clear on the analogue vs digital inputs. It labels them, and I've tried using the R5 and T5 outputs and switched them numerous times, but still no luck... So I revisited this video in hopes of getting an answer since your new video doesn't address it. I think my next attempt will be to use the 6 pin plug, but I just prefer to solder. Just something to think about....

Only the BEC from ESC might interfere with the on-board BEC. Receiver needs power from the board to operate. SBUS should be fine from CRSF, but I have not tried it.

great timing for me too. My SpeedyBee F405 Wing arrived this week. I intend to use it in a yet-to-be-assembled AtomRC/Eachine Seal, with the analog FPV kit they offered. What I took away from this vid was the connectors you use on your VTX setup and adapter pins for what looks to be your "standard" harness configuration for your VTX/camera pins - I would love to see more detail there, but what I saw was you have simply put dupont style 0.1" header pins and sockets on your cam and VTX and spliced to the (supplied) connectors for the specific FC board. Any tips on what the ideal cluster of pins and/or layout you use is? My AtomRC VTX is a TX15 with 5x bare unterminated wires, and has a foxeer toothless cam with 2x wires in one JST micro connector (unconnected perhaps, as they didn't supply a jst on a cable?) cable and 3x wires in a second jst. I guess I aught to figure out what those wires all do :)

I found a way to have the FC set the ARM command without requiring satellites. Set a rule in the MODES tab to set ARM when a selected servo is within the range specified. I picked a toggle switch on ch5. Then enable a logic condition to ALWAYS override arming safety. This is done in the tab that looks like a hollow gear. This was needed for my 03 air unit that stays in low xtr power until it receives an ARM conmand. It now switches out of low power based on the position of the ch 5 toggle switch, allowing you to go to low power when on the ground and only switching to high power when in the air. All without needing satellites and done thru the app.

INAV supports Spektrum so the answer is yes.

For the sbus example, you unplug the throttle lead from the receiver and connect it to the FC with the red wire removed. What is now powering the receiver?

I removed the red wire from the ESC cable and connected to S1, which is right next to the SBUS pins. SBUS receiver does require all 3 wires to be connected to the SBUS pins and is powered from the 5V BEC on the board.

Got it thanks. One more q. I'm connecting my receiver thru sbus and am using channel 5 to send the arm command to an 03 air unit to force it out of low power mode (03 air units require the arm command to go full power transmit). I've set UART5 to DJI peripherals on PORTS page and ch5 slider bar moves correctly on RECEIVER page. I wrote a rule on MODES page to set ARM based on ch5 movement yet the 03 air stays in low power mode. Am I doing this correctly?

Hi. I could realllllly use yer help. I have ths fc and a 03 air unit. Its all wired up. But icant get the air unit to talk to fc and move servos etc.. how do i set up for vid and receiver in ports etc... i hope u xan help ...im reall bummed i cant it flying.

Can't help with 03 setup. But otherwise it's all in the video.

Hello Mr Newton, you mentioned in this video that the fourth cabel to the camera is not connected. The diagram tells that it is for menu of the camera control. Is it for camera control or not?

If you look at the board there are only 3 solder pads.

@@AndrewNewton Ok, thanks for the hint 👍

Making some progress. Surprised by the servo responses. The servos are same brand and model. Aileron response normal. Elevator response small. Rudder response tiny. Is that to be expected ?

I have embarked on this adventure but I am currently stymied. In my connection to Inav 6 I have failed to achieve any communication from the Radio. I am running a Fr Sky Taranis 9 tx into a RadioMaster R88 rx, via an SBUS cable, out of the first group receiver pins (aileron), and into the far left SBUS connector, with white wire uppermost. This system works fine into a standard (no flight controller plane) I am using UART 2 for the receiver. But there is no response in the inav receiver display. I am not certain about the inav questions on the right hand side of the receiver page. Could I have missed some detail about the type of SBUS used ? I find it hard to believe that I have damaged the First line of the Ports chart. But maybe ! If I had what would I see ? Any thoughts would be most welcome. Maybe I have a Speedy Bee Dud

The R88 is just a PWM receiver, not SBUS. You would need the R86C

do i need to solder those pin into the board? Because some of mine are loose.

Yes all pins need to be soldered

I have the new Speedybee F405 Wing and wondering how to flash it with new firmware, the Telemetry mod.
