    I am totally new to Betaflight. I fly fixed wing and have only dabbled with quad copters. I decided to buy a HGLRC Petrel 65 in order to learn FPV because it is aimed at total beginners. Then I found out I needed to know about Betaflight. My brain crashed when I tried to understand some of the videos on the subject and they were supposed to be beginner videos.
    Nearly all of the other beginner videos I watched seem to assume a new pilot would know all about the general terms, names, and functions on Betaflight. Absolutely confusing.
    This video is the first video to properly explain the functions in Betaflight. You explain the simple things which are "NOT" simple to a beginner and you make them easy to understand.
    I thank you very much for this perfect explanation and teaching video. I can understand all you say here about Betaflight and how it works. I know I have a lot more to learn but this video is perfect for a beginner. You take your time and you don't rush your expiations on the subject.
    Well done and I am certainly a SU--B to this channel from now on. Perfect video buddy.
    One thing I found out and is probably more common than some people may think is the use of the wrong USB lead when connecting your quad to Betaflight. I could not get connected and that was after using two USB leads. Then I discovered I was not using a USB data lead. I was using a USB charging lead "which on the surface looks identical to any other USB lead".
    I am saying this because it caused me a "BIG HEADACHE". I was trying to download drivers and assumed that was the problem but I was Soooo "WRONG".
    Anyone who can't get their quad to connect to Betaflight should firstly make sure they are using a USB "Data Lead". It is a simple mistake to make but can confuse you a lot.
    Sometimes we go on assumptions because both leads look the same.
    Hope this simple piece of information helps and once again your teaching video here is absolutely brilliant and has saved me a lot of searching for proper information. 😍👍👍👍

    I know this is an older video but you saved a quads life today! I am new to this hobby and despite thinking I knew enough I did NOT know enough. Your video was incredibly informative and easy to follow resulting in my quad finally being flight ready after 3 weeks of fighting me! Thanks!

    What a great teaching gift you have. It's oblivious you are sooo very knowledgable. Many people take this knowledge and keep it for themselves and are totally not interested in helping anybody but numero uno. I appreciate all those who are willing to reach out and show the way to becoming rocket scientist's like themselves, well almost. I have told more than a few people that I am in way over my head with all this. What I love most is when you say, "Hey I just want to get you up there flying for now, we can come back to all the technical stuff later. Learn how to fly a little bit first". Thank you for your time my friend, you got good things comin your way.

    Thanks so much for this video. I am using having issues with arming the quad. Using an F3 flight controller all in one stack. I was able to connect and bind my Flysky FS A8S receiver and a Flysky Fs i6S transmitter. When I tried to go to the modes menu I wasn't able to get anywhere and not sure which Aux to select. I tried all evening but haven't been able to arm. I checked the angle and it's at 25degrees as you pointed out haven't touched it. I then got Arm Disabled after saving the changes and not sure what that it as none of the Aux seem to be working. Sorry still pretty new to all this and I am currently a bit overwhelmed. soldering and stuff and the motors do fire up and are turning in the right direction but I haven't been able to arm them or figure out how to using the transmitter. The receiver is bound.

    Hello drone mesh I appreciate it this tutorial thank you 👍🏻👍🏻 but you said at the beginning of this tutorial I need to have my video transmitter antenna installed but I doing my quad without video transmitter??

    Great video! Your content is great and the production values are awesome. The simultaneous software view and your video showing yourself and the quad is perfect.
    You just dropped a ton of knowledge on me with this video and your build video. I'm about to start assembly on my first FPV drone; all the components arrived last night. I'm confident that your 30 minute video here is going to save me days off of my first build, and hours of frustration.
    I'm glad I found your channel this morning! Subscribed and thumbs up!

    Great Video!!! I will be building my first 5in tomorrow and it uses the T-Motor F7 45A Blheli 32 stack. The stack you used was the other one I was looking at. I have been schooling myself up on it and Blheli 32. This video gave me a few pieces of info I was missing. I am still in noob status. So, this will be a learning experience either way. I look forward to the next one.

    why do you need to desolder wires to make the engines spin the right way? can't the esc be programmed to do that? like, click a box if it's going the wrong way, and it'll switch the way it energises to go the other way? :O

    Hi, I've followed your video for my drone setup. It's been really helpful. But while doing the receiver setup on betafligt, I've noticed that my aux 12 is randomly changing value. I dont know what's causing this as I'm not touching my controller (frSKY Qx7). If i have nothing setup to aux 12, is that an issue that would affect my flight ?

      just short the pads where the broken button is until it goes into bind mode

    • @zxcuyt
      @zxcuyt 4 роки тому

      In the cli shell type bind_rx , after that go to your frsky controller and go to setup,set the internal rc to accest d16 or d8 protocol and channel number 0 - 8 and the rx num should be 00. Click on the bnd and set telementary ON. And type save in the cli shell after this. Worked for me.

    Here are the stupid USB drivers you need: www.st.com/en/development-tools/stsw-stm32102.html
    Note when installing the driver you have to type something in the "Company Name" field under Username field or it won't let you Next through the install.
    Installing the driver solved it for me.
    This video gets my thumbs up because other Betaflight tutorials just blazed right past this whole step and looking for the rogue com port after clicking Connect twice. When you make a tutorial video, you start from the very beginning.. and none of them did but Drone Mesh. Bardwell failed on this. Drone Camps failed. And half a dozen others. They didn't start from scratch, they started from an install they've been using for years. So Drone Mesh for the win... for remembering this step.
    I didn't even see it on the Betaflight home page and there are no instructions there you need to install it... and it wasn't installed during the install so...
    FYI, Put links to everything in your description, because if you say click right here to get this file, nobody can see where you are whizzing the mouse around or what you are talking about... and can't see what URL you might type.

      im all the way from Kauai, Hawaii and am totally new to fpv and built me my first drone. ordered me some gear. now im running in to no stick movements in beta flight... using a crsf nano diversity to a 60a hobbywing stack with the tbs evo. sent ch1 from nano diversity to rx1 and ch2 to tx1. got everything to bind, visuals through my goggles and the rx is solid green just like the module behind my qx7. serial rx is checked on uart1, saved and rebooted. configuration receiver set for CRSF, plug in my batt and got nothing. got any idea where I went wrong ?
