The antennas with the lump in them are sleeved dipoles and yes, they have a slightly higher gain than a simple 1/4 wave whip but more importantly, they have a more even radiation pattern so there are fewer null points and thus the range will be more consistent with varying orientation.

@alasdair41617 жыл бұрын
Interesting stuff, I too tested four alternative antenna types with this receiver, mainly in an attempt to get the antennas outside my plane fuse, those stock originals being very short. In the results at 300m range set across my property clear run, I got a base line reading of -74db using the originals, however I got nothing better than -78 with all others, including gp monopoles, 33mm element 130mm wire monopoles, frsky tx antennas and a long set of gp monopoles (180mm). The worst reading being with these at -86db. I then tried trimming the 130mm wire dipoles to exactly 23mm element length, but could only get -79db, I then cut the total length to match the flysky originals with 33mm element and got 81db, trimming back to 23 still couldn't match originals at -75db despite now looking identical. I then repeated all the tests to confirm everything, I used a jig at each end to replicate exact positioning. Here's the witchcraft bit, i also tested an alternative course through trees but with two types only, the originals and the 130mm wire dipoles @33mm element, and the originals were now worse than the 33mm ones by 4db at 100 metres through 12 fully grown, full foliage birch trees in a row... very strange, it was this that made me repeat all the tests, but just inexplicable. Anyway, whatever magic they are using to get such amazing performance from what appear to be incorrectly tuned antennas (except for tree penetration) is anybodies guess, just don't try to make your own replacements :( Apologies for the rant, but as always you presented another great video and with interesting results.

External smd attenuators are great for range testing when there is no option for lowering power, assuming you have a transmitter that has an external antenna socket in the first place.

The receiver will usually have either a button on it (press it while powering up to enter bind mode) or a pin that should be connected to ground (same thing, have it connected to ground while powering up). Then on the radio there will either be a binding feature in the menu somewhere, or for this FlySky radio you hold the bind button while turning it on - remember to select the model you want to bind for first.

The cage is not absolutely critical if it is just there as a shield. But, if you have a cavity resonator in the 12Ghz application, the cage becomes absolutely necessary. 5+GHz can't use quartz for resonator. That is why big CPUs don't go over 5+GHz. Instead they go for multi core.

I don't know if I should get the ia6b or the new x6b. I've heard i.bus and s.bus are better connections than the pwm that comes setup already, but I am not sure if I can use i.bus. The FC is the KingKong f3 micro one. hobbyking.com/en_us/micro-f3.html and the manual says it supports s.bus. Does that mean it should also support i.bus? Thanks for any help you have.

If you're running a recent version of cleanflight or betaflight it will support ibus. That's a firmware thing.

From their respective spec sheets : Ia6b rx sensitivity -105dbm X6b rx sensitivity -95dbm Does it mean ia6b should have the advantage?
Thanks ! "In other words, at a specified data rate, a receiver with a −98 dBm sensitivity can hear signals that are half the power of those heard by a receiver with a −95 dBm receiver sensitivity."

@amax26247 жыл бұрын
Two antennas dont give you more output but they can be used for better polarization or for splitting the telemetry data apart. One for transmitting and one for reception. But then, they should not have different orientation. For the Devo. The range might be the same under the condition, you use a well made swivel antenna and pay much antention on the polarization of the antennas. A little loss will be there due the screw connection though. The A7105 is capable of a 100mW output as well. If you are using the AFHDS A2 protocol on the Devo, there is no downside.

Thanks for all the great videos. I'm trying to set up INAV failsafe return to home as you have done, but it's not working. I've the fs-i6 transmitter. Any suggestions?

faced with the same problem with i6b. By default, ia6b receiver keeps sending the flight controller "last good reading" when signal is lost. This behavior can be re-defined in "RX Settings" menu on transmitter itself. You can set desired readings for all channels which receiver will produce in case of lost signal. Check on the internet, there is plenty of articles describing this solution in details.

What firmware is used in the flight controller?

You could've used normal props as bullnose props sucks economy..

This is a range test of the radio/receiver, not the battery.

I know, was just thinking about the props when I saw you didn't make it back with the last flight due to the battery. Doesn't matter, just an observation.

Hi, first of all, thanks for nicely done and very informative video. It's nice to see a high quality material among all the underage morons shouting out their opinions on the internet. Yours - a pleasure to watch. But to the point - I'm very new to all this drone fun, just planning to build my first one. I want to create something small, but full of features. So it will be mini quad frame, but it's going to be more of a fun-testing-ground machine than a racer. Oh, and unfortunately ona budget too. I've been thinking about FS-I6X transmitter, but most of them are sold by chinese with x6b receiver. Will I be able to send telemetry back to the receiver with x6b, or do I need ia6b? Actually I like ia6b form factor more, the case seem to be more study than a naked pcb. You seem to be pretty proficient with all these drone stuff, would you mind being nagged by a newbie a little bit? I'm struggling with existential dilemmas choosing parts... .)

The x6b can do all that the ia6b does, plus it has a voltage sensor: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrlhgdCHndSsomw.html

this video hoax. it blogged about fs-i6x with x6b. during a flight on the videos I see fs-i6. a simple antenna can overcome the distance 2.3km

Please get your eyes checked by an optometrist. The title of this video is "FlySky ia6b vs x6b range test"
