Turning was possible but only in forward or backward movement – throttle had to be not-idle. And that meant that turning in place was not an option. Luckily, the INAV…

INAV 2.5 finally allowed to use INAV and INAV compatible flight controllers to be used on rovers and boats. Finally, INAV supports not only flying vehicles. Bear in mind, that the rover and boat support is not full, and some functionalities might not be working like expected. What works: Reversible ESC and motors Steering Waypoints…

INAV can use various sensors to fly drones and airplanes: gyroscopes, accelerometer, magnetometers, barometers, GPS, OpFlow, rangefinders, and airspeed. Some of them required some are recommended and some are a purely optional piece of hardware. Here is the full list: INAV Sensors: Gyroscope and accelerometer Required. The flight controller will not boot without a gyroscope…
