One of the things that INAV was missing, was a decent support for Pitot tubes, or more generally speaking, airspeed sensors. Autonomous flight, or landing, without knowledge about airspeed can easily lead to a stall. Stall can lead to crash. A crash leads to rebuild. Rebuild of big airplane is a nightmare. Although, for some…

In this episode I talk about: How to analyze Blackbox log for gyro noise How to find frequencies for gyro and Dterm notch filters in INAV, Cleanflight and Betaflight

When Banggood decided to “forget” about MS5611barometer in their version of AnyFC F7 flight controller, they not only did not mounted MS5611 on it. They also made usage of any external barometer on that board almost impossible to use. Why? Long story short: all STM32 MultiWii derivatives are unable (yet) to lookup for I2C devices…

So many things to do, so little time… I’ve purchased DemonRC NOX5 quadcopter frame more than a month ago, but had some time to take a look at it only today. This is not a cheap stuff. More than a $100 for a 5″ frame is few times more than I’ve used to pay. But…

Today another tutorial video I recorded some time ago: how to install RC antennas using zip ties and heat shrink tubes. After all, dangling antennas will be chewed by propellers in a minutes.

Those of you how subscribed to my YouTube channel should have noticed, that I got an interest in automated landing of fixed wings after RTH in INAV. And the sad truth was that, well, INAV up to 1.7 was unable to do it right. When landing after RTH was enabled (nav_rth_allow_landing = ON) and it…

AnyFC F7 when running INAV, is not using standard output mapping. That means, that M1 output is not where you should connect Motor 1 and M2 is not where Motor 2 should be connected. It’s a little complicated, but with following table it should be pretty easy to connect any possible configuration to AnyFC F7…

There is still very little about AnyFC F7 on the internet. Especially pinout is kept secret. Without sambas official GitHub repository for hardware projects, there would be nothing at all. I’ve decided to close that gap a little and prepared full pinout for AnyFCF7. Yes, I know they are hand drawn and scanned, but I…

STM32F7 CPU family present in newest, experimental, flight controllers like AnyFC F7 (as well as upcoming AnyFC M7 with smaller STM32F722) simplifies many things. For example, comparing to F4 boards, SmartPort or S.Bus connection is extremely simple and can be done on any free UART. No more hardware hacks, external inverters and other “special” ways…
