iNav Programming - Re-Arm In Flight With No Restrictions @MrD

Mr.D - Falling with style Happy Holidays everyone. As my gift for you this year, I have two videos for you. In this second video, we look at something a lot of iNav pilots seem to have trouble with. Accidentally disarming in flight. There are a couple of settings that always seem to get recommended when someone asks about this in the INAV Fixed Wing Group:

nav_extra_arming_safety and disarm_kill_switch

I believe that setting these two commands to OFF is a very bad practice. First and foremost, they are safety features. They exist to stop arming when when the model is not ready, and also to kill the motor as soon as possible. The last one is particularly important, as it can stop injury to people caused by spinning props.

In this video, I show a way to have both of these safety features enabled; yet still allow you to instantly arm the model if you accidentally disarm in flight. It's the best of both worlds.

Check out this video for examples of this solution working. It shows re-arming in nav modes, with high throttle, with autolaunch, and with tuning modes youtu.be/4dXFTgsq_oM Hopefully this will answer your questions.

[UPDATE] Instead of using "Ground speed" for the logical switch. Use "3D Speed". This will work absolutely fine on fixed wing. Plus, it would also allow this to work on multirotors. The would need to be moving in any direction above the minimum speed.

How to add custom OSD Elements in INAV

Mr.D - Falling with style 2024-08-25 | 🔗 https://www.MrD-RC.com 🔗 patreon.com/MrD_RC

A really useful addition to INAV 7 was the ability to add custom OSD elements. Using these, you could pretty much show any data you want on the OSD. There are some limits. The data needs to be accessible or created in the programming tab. But other than that, you can fill your boots.

In this video, I show an example of how you can simply get some flight data and show it on the OSD. My example shows how to add altitude in metres and distance from home in kilometres. You may think that those units are already available. Not if your OSD is in a non-metric configuration ;)

I also show an example of how to replicate the functionality of the current OSD switch indicators.

✈️ Contents ✈️
00:00 Introduction
01:10 Where are the custom OSD elements?
01:26 How do you enable the custom OSD elements?
02:42 Where do you set up what is shown on the OSD
03:10 Basics on customising the OSD element
05:50 How do you get the data to put on the custom OSD element?
06:00 Example 1: home distance in km and altitude in m
08:45 How this collates to the setup on the OSD page
09:02 Were do you find the number to use for icons?
11:45 Example 2: custom switch indicators
18:39 A note about some current limitations for some values

INAV Public Service Announcement: Cant arm with plenty of satellites & 7.1.1 no baro issue

Mr.D - Falling with style 2024-07-14 | 🔗 https://www.MrD-RC.com 🔗 patreon.com/MrD_RC

In this video we look at a couple of issue that have come up quite a lot recently.

The first issue is not being able to arm. Even with a good satellite lock, with at least 6 3D fixes, and a low HDOP. A rogue parameter setting may be causing you this problem.

Next we look at the default parameter setting that caused the release of INAV 7.1.2. This setting would turn off the use of the barometer, when in most cases it should be enabled.

TL;DW: The CLI commands are
set inav_use_gps_no_baro = off
set inav_max_eph_epv = 1000

✈️ Contents ✈️
00:00 Introduction
00:18 Can't arm, even with lots of satellite locks and low HDOP
02:29 inav_use_gps_no_baro issue. Check even if on 7.1.2

Charger balance extension cable

Mr.D - Falling with style 2024-06-23 | 🔗 https://www.MrD-RC.com 🔗 patreon.com/MrD_RC

Here is a useful little cable from SpeedyBee. Which makes charging easier. In the days of old. Chargers used to come with long leads. Which meant plugging in the battery was pretty easy. These days, chargers are more minimalistic. The main power and balance ports are flush installed in the charger. It looks nice. But it can be a pain to plug in the battery. Especially when the battery has short balance leads.

In the past, we could have used regular balance extensions to make life a bit easier. But, you either had to force the balance lead in to the extension. Or cut down the socket on the extension to allow batteries of different cell counts to fit.

SpeedyBee have released some balance lead extensions that allow us to have an easier time. The sockets can accept 2S to 6S packs without any forcing or modification.

00:24 How chargers used to look compared to now
00:45 Why are the flush balance ports a problem?

03:32 It's not needed for parallel charge boards. But here's why I stopped using them

SpeedyBee F405 V4 55A Stack: Unboxing and first look

Mr.D - Falling with style 2023-09-29 | In this live broadcast, we check out the new SpeedyBee F405 V4 Stack. This is an update to the SpeedyBee F405 V3 stack, which really impressed me. I've been flying the V3 in my AOS 5, and it has been faultless. This update brings some nicer hardware, more power handling, and is still the same awesome price.

This is my first time trying a live unboxing. Did it totally suck, or is there some hope? What did you think? Leave me a comment and let me know.

The main differences between the V3 and V4 are:
Flight controller:
The V 3 has a BMI270 gyro, whereas the V4 now uses an ICM42688P. The V4 has an improved LDO power chip for the gyro with much better surge protection. The V4 can handle 3A on the 5v and 9v BECs, compared to 2A on the V3. The V4 has DSHOT support on INAV from the get go. V3 currently doesn't work with DSHOT on INAV. But an update in INAV 7 will get this working. The SD card reader chip is better quality and more reliable.

ESC:
Continuous current is now 55A, up from 50A. The burst current is now 70A, up from 55A. The copper traces are thicker. There is now an aluminium heatsink. The MOSFETs have a lower internal resistance, and there are more filtering capacitors. The V4 is about 10g heavier than the V3; about half of this increase is due to the heat sink.

This new stack can be found at speedybee.com/speedybee-f405-v4-bls-55a-30x30-fc-esc-stack

FrSKY X20 Pro : First look and unboxing

Mr.D - Falling with style 2023-09-10 | 🔗 https://www.MrD-RC.com 🔗 patreon.com/MrD_RC

In this video, we check out the new flagship transmitter from FrSKY. The TANDEM X20 Pro. This is a radio that has been talked about for some time. Now it's finally here, and we can take a look at it in the flesh. The X20Pro is available now. Though you may have a wait if you want to buy one. Due to the CNC machined body, there is already a waiting list for this transmitter. Only 4 of the aluminium bodies can be produced a day, meaning 20 radios per week. In the video, we will take a general look at the radio, see how it compares to the original X20, and also chat about that price tag.

If you're interested in this transmitter. It can be purchased globally from bit.ly/MrD_FrSKYX20Pro

TL;DW This is a high quality, premium radio. Every switch and dial feels like it will last decades; and has a reassuring click, pressure, or centre detent. Everyone that I have shown the X20 Pro to has commented on how great the switches feel, and the general excellence of the build.

HD FPV: Why DJI ARE the bad guys

Mr.D - Falling with style 2023-08-02 | 🔗 https://www.MrD-RC.com 🔗 patreon.com/MrD_RC

This is a bit of a different video for me. It's not really a tutorial or review. But more just passing along some information to dispel some mistruths that are going around. In particular, this video comes as a result of seeing some of the comment's in Mads Tech's (@MadRC) video "DJI Goggles 2 & O3 FPV Do Not Buy - They Just Don't Care" (youtu.be/r72p6bI63Dg). In this video, Ian makes a lot of harsh, but fair comments about DJI, and this whole mess with their firmware.

One guys' comments in particular caught my eye, stating: "INAV devs CAN fix this, but they are stubborn and just won't bother. Why not blame the INAV devs?" and "Yeah, INAV devs can fix this, but they want drama in the community." Other than the INAV developers and community being the least likely to cause "drama". The INAV community is genuinely one of the most helpful I've been involved with. It is showing that some people don't actually know what's going on here.

The INAV devs did a lot of work to get even a basic level of OSD for O3 pilots. Something that they should not have even needed to do, if DJI had done things properly.

Hopefully this video will go some way to show exactly what the problem is. Why it is 100% DJIs fault, how INAV devs are actually going above and beyond to support O3 pilots, and why the font is so important. TL;DR, it isn't just about the characters looking different!

01:46 All about MSP DisplayPort and why this isn't the problem
04:43 The differences between the font sets
05:21 Comparing with BetaFlight's base font

08:30 Is INAV just causing drama?
09:14 What is the real fix, and why DJI are the only people who can do it
09:53 Why you shouldn't by DJI!

Re-arming in flight with INAV

In this video we take a look at what you should do if you accidentally disarm in flight, when flying with INAV. I have seen posts and messages from quite a few people who don't know what to do, and have lost models because of this. So I thought I'd make a quick video to show that it is possible to re-arm in flight. Not only that; it's actually pretty easy. TL;DW, Stay calm, get rid of the stats screen, and check for blocking messages on the system messages.

Setting up and flying Waypoint Missions in INAV

Mr.D - Falling with style 2023-07-16 | 🔗 https://www.MrD-RC.com 🔗 patreon.com/MrD_RC

In this video we take a look at how to set up a basic waypoint mission in INAV. I'm using version 6.1.1. so some of the options may not be available on older version. We look at:
- The mode you need to fly a waypoint mission
- What settings are available on the Advanced Tuning page
- How to set up a basic mission in Mission Control
- Flying the mission
This should give you all the information you need to know to setup and fly your first INAV mission.

NOTE: Please do not fly a mission before making sure that your aircraft is fully set up and correctly tuned. You should be 100% confident that the aircraft can fly safely and reliably in both standard and navigational flight modes. For example, if RTH is not smooth and predictable. Do not fly a mission until is it setup and tuned correctly, so that it is.

Working with Profiles in INAV: Using different batteries or PIDs

Mr.D - Falling with style 2023-05-14 | 🔗 https://www.MrD-RC.com 🔗 patreon.com/MrD_RC

In this video we look at how to work with profiles in INAV. There are two types of profile: control profiles and battery profiles. These can be used to change settings based on the battery you plug in, a switch position, or manually set via stick commands. You can even change control profiles based on data from your flight controller via the programming tab. For example having different control profile based on your speed.

Most people will likely only need the battery profiles. Chances are that you may want to fly with different chemistry batteries, different capacity batteries, or different cell counts. If so, using the battery profiles is the best way to set this up.
