And yet another flight controller joins the HOW-TO series - the Matek F405 Wing. Yes, I know I am late to the party, but I recently got one... and had other plans for it, but then I decided it was time to finally upgrade the X-UAV Clouds, as a sign of appreciation for its long and loyal service... so I also decided to make an instructional video out of this too! I hope it will be useful to somebody, I know I absolute LOVE this thing now!

Yes, weather has been very good around here recently... has allowed me to get some flying done in very good conditions... but then one of the days I started the flight in dead calm... and ended it in 50+ km/h winds... where the plane was easily sitting in one place against the wind! I rarely do Auto missions... unless it is for those test hearts to see if everything is working as it should... but the terrain following capability it pretty awesome and the code has been super reliable for me over the years!

To make the auto takeoff site independent, just put an RTL command after takoff. Well that's irrelevant now, since there is a dedicated takoff flight mode which enables you to have both auto takeoff and later on a separate auto mission. Just my 5c.

Thank You very much for a very instructive Video. I’m planning to use the FC along with my DJI Ocysync AIR system which fortunately has an Sbus on the video link receiver and therefore enable to use my X10S express in Slave Mode with a cable connection to my DJI Google’s ( in other words both control and video signal via the Google’s). Can you tell me exactly from which pin the OSD signal from the Matek F405 goes ? The DJI Ocysync has an inputwire for that purpose so all the information can be displayed in the Goggles. My Best Regards Kim/DK

@ArxangelRC Жыл бұрын

Hey, what kind of signal does that system expect? Mavlink, or video? Because the OSD is actually overlaid in the flight controller on the analogue video signal, and then it puts out a video signal complete with the OSD overlay. I don't think the DJI system would be able to use that. Alternatively, it may need some data stream with the needed information, which would be Mavlink, however I am not certain if DJI supports that protocol.

Hey... I am not sure how this is supposed to be wired... let alone on that board! I've never wired an airspeed sensor, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that it DOES NOT go on the RSSI pad!

@@ArxangelRC thanks mate. Yeah I am a bit confused. A guy on rcgroups with the same board and sensor claimed it goes on rssi pad and needs pin 15 set in parameters. I also found info on diydrones and other forums saying it needs pin 15, but they claim that it needs a 6.6v ADC input, (whatever that is). I cant see an adc pad on the board, but I know rssi is 3.3v right? Maybe thats it? I tried it last night in a calibration flight and it seemed to work once it was flying in loiter. The wind made it behave weirdly in fbwa, maybe i have to autotune it all again now I have airspeed input? Its meant to help a lot with high winds and sticking to mission tracks accurately.

I came here today to see how you installed the F-405 flight controller, assuming all I needed to see was how the power runs from the battery to the motor and the FC. I can only conclude that this is clearly an insidious plot by the Chinese to confuse, distract and ultimately bring the Western world to it's knees... lol, well it appears they may have underestimated the will of the British to persevere.

Need some help here again, please. I installed the Matek405 wing on my Albabird with Arduplane and on maiden (in FBWA) have lost throttle power after about 10 seconds of taking off, coming to a gentle stabilized descent and landed. This has repeated itself 3 times, but in the 3rd time when it was close to the ground I powered up again and it responded, shot up back in the air and I circled around gaining altitude for landing closer to where I was. It was very fast and the turn angle was not high enough so I lost control and crashed. Anyway, the throttle behavior was erratic, to say the least. I was using a brand new fully charged 4S1P li-ion (balanced, IR of cells about 20) in the first two take-offs and changed to another new identical battery for the 3rd flight as I couldn't think of anything else. I'm using the recommended tiny 30A ESCs on the recommended 3 bladed 7 in props, with Sunnysky 980kv motors (maybe on the underpowered side but I'm here for endurance, not to win any race). What I did do differently from your instructional set up video was using a Y-harness for the ESCs signal and ground and only used the S1 pin and ground for the two ESCs (instead of using S1 and S2 for each motor). Would it have anything to do with it? Can you guys think of anything else for me to troubleshoot once I get it out of the tree? Many thanks.

I think one of the options was the FrSky Telemetry, so input the number it is given on the left, and write params, then power cycle the FC... and if all is good and there are no addition steps to be taken... this should do it!
