10:40 I guess you can also use a 3 position switch to set 3 different uptilts. One at 40° for flying fast, one at 30° or 20° for freestyle, and one at 10° or 0° for exploring and landing. That's why I'm watching this video, to try to learn to set this up.

@MadfishFPV Ай бұрын

You could change out the default 3 position switch for a momentary 3 position switch, return to centre. So that Up raises the camera, Down lowers the camera.

The syntax to change channel forwarding start is a bit different than the way resources were assigned. To use AUX 4 as the first forwarded channel, use: *set channel_forwarding_start = 7* It took a while to figure out the correct syntax since Bardwell didn't change this setting in the video. Remember to type: *save* After you make the changes. I forgot to do this myself the first time I changed the resource values. I haven't had to make changes via the CLI prior to forwarding channels for servos (gimbal control). Thanks for all the great content JB.

The 1/2 output numbers on the airplane at the front of the model are for the motor outputs. Planes can have motors :). On INAV there is no need for the DMA to drive the servos, so I think it is the same on Betaflight. You can remap the motor output pin to the servo, as long as it does not share the timer with the other motor. Also, the possible resources for the servos are UART6 RX & TX (on F405 and F7xx), but it depends on timer assignment and motor allocations on PC8 & PC9 pins, if there are motors assigned there, it might be impossible to run servos on UART6 due to the timer conflict. The LED strip is a save resource for the extra motor or the servo, but then you loose LED function. Timer allocations can be checked and changed in the CLI.

@JoshuaBardwell 2 жыл бұрын

Oh damn hahahaha planes have motors. Of course. Sounds like there is more to the timer assignments than I really knew about.

@mrugrysek4201 2 жыл бұрын

@@JoshuaBardwell I think that your knowledge is great. :) It is just the limitation, that the timer can drive either motors or servos, not both at the same time, as they requires different timing*. As timers are shared between pins there are possible conflicts. Everything depends on the FC design, sometimes it is easy to remap, sometimes impossible. LED pin is an exception, as it has it's own exclusive timer by design, so its safe and easy to remap. (*)In fact, you can drive motors at servos timing, but 50 Hz PWM is not the protocol tigers like the best :)

Great video! Just added a couple of servos and this made it easy! Btw, I tried iNav too. Added a GPS for return to home. Frankly, it wasn't worth it. I probably could make RTH work better, but it is so far from DJI it's just not worth waiting for GPS lock. And, I personally don't think iNav flys a quad as well as BetaFlight. So, I dropped the GPS and went back to BetaFlight and am much happier.

If you can't get the FC to reverse the servo, then reverse the switch in the controller. Go to the Mixes screen and change the weight from 100 to -100.

Hello. Thank you for your job. Your video helps me a lot. But after assign servo 1 to motor 5 output (i have a QUAD). Motor 3 stop working. Pin are different. FC Skystarfs F405 HD2. It have two separate outputs for S5 and S6. This outputs physically goes to pins B00 and B01. This pins logically assigned to Motor 5 and 6. So when i assing servo 1 to pin B00 and turn ON SERVO_TILT. Motor 3 stop working. The same situation with Channel_forwarding. Does someone faced with this issue?

@ddegn 2 ай бұрын

I don't think there is a "resources" tab. Did Bardwell call a tab resources? One thing Bardwell didn't mention is you need to include the "servos" keyword when you flash your flight controller. BF doesn't include all the options automatically. When you initially flash your FC, you need to include the various functions you want. On JB's V2 FC, the servo option isn't selected by default. You likely need to reflash you FC so the servo option is available in the CLI. Edit: I'm just getting a servo to work on my FC. What do you want your servo to do?

The tab is totally useful if using an airplane mixer that includes servos, or if using servo_tilt. Just when using aux forwarding it doesn't have a purpose.
