Thank you. I bought a prebuilt quad. Had very little idea of what I was doing. Everything that I’ve needed to adjust in Betaflight has been addressed in one of your videos. The LED’s were causing a glare issue when flying at dusk. This video gave me the info I needed.
Wow. I just finished the entire series, backtracking to fully understand each section. Even more impressive, you refuse to say 'I don't know' and leave it there. Your use of cinema time lapse was nothing short of impressive. To actually take the time to look up an answer is setting a high bar for everyone else. The servo section actually helped most. I'm building a S&R quad with dual independent head-tracking video. Fantastic job on the series.
serusly this walkthrough was amazing and it helped me alot. and im sure alot of people out there feel the same way. what your doing is amazing cause fpv world is a bit of pain, unlike px4 or ardupilot. so thank you. best of luck
I sent the Walksnail stuff back, and ordered a DJI Goggles 3. A Motionsic gimbal and headtracker, as well as te reflex sight. I'll have to wait to get the air unit. Thanks for the great advice. I'm downloading this playlist. Off grid YT is a pain
Red is the left/fwd side, green right/fwd side, white rear. The reason is most people are right handed so they "steer" with a "board" on the right side, therefore tend not to look out the left side. So if you see a boat from the left side its the side not being monitored as much so its red, white means you are behind the boat. Colors actually mean, red stop, green caution, white go
When you have color modifier selected instead of armstate, the color spectrum gets squished. Instead of ranging from -100 to 100, the color options only range from -100 to 0...idk why, but for some reason it cuts off Red (value 1), you can go to -1 and get redish-purp...armstate + aux works the way i would expect the color modifier to work.
Is there a way to change profiles using a AUX channel? Lets say, I am waiting for GPS connection and after I get my connection, then change it to Color mode, just a color for each led.
I have the pavo20... it has a led strip with just one color, it worked fine.. I could connect and disconnect using one of my DJI controller buttons... but I have to restart everything for other reasons and now I do not know how to configure the leds again-... Please, can you help? Thank
Outstanding as always. I was wondering if you could do a video on switching over all TBS to ELRS rx's to include set up? I am a little fuzzy on putting the right firmware on the New ELRS RX which I have the BetaFpv 1000mw module which is there version of 2.0. I do not want to update the module at this time as I have a few spi quads and do not want to worry about them not linking.
i am watching this, i just bought a geprc f722 aio. wired everything correctly, but i can not set switch because the USER option in mods tab is missing. any fix ?
Need help. Got my new speedy bee led strips x4. Problem is I cant separate them when I want front leds to be white and rear ones red. when 0 is red all strips show red color on each strip. How to set separate color for each strip? or not possible? Thanks
Looks like speedy bee f7v3 and spbe led strips need to be connected in parrallel to allow 16 led beads instead of 4 when just plug and play. flies away
Hey, Can you plees make a setup/wiring for The mateksys gps & compass m8q-5883 on a Mamba f405 mk3 min DJI have a littel problem with wiring sda scl? I use TBS crossfier.
Very timely as I was having some head scratcher moments in LED tabs. But you forgot the throttle position. I was able to get it to work in betaflight but switched to inav and it's different now.
Hey joshua! I followed this step by step to be sure i understand betaflight! I bought an Iflight nazgul v2 6s ready to bind and once i setup everything i try to test the drone but when i use throttle after 30 percent and take it back to zero i still have one or two motors accelerating more and more until full power. I need to dissarm to stop the effect? Any advice?
If you have the armed and disarmed color option set, the color adjust using a channel works differently. Under this setting you can set just about any color by changing the aux value, not just 3 colors. This is the setting I usually use. If you want this but don’t want different armed and disarmed colors, you can set both those values to the same color.
Hey Joshua, my SpeedyBee led's are stuck on flashing red. In order to change them to the profile i made in BF, I have to hold down the BOOTLOADER button for 3 seconds. This happens every time I connect a battery. Please help.
That actually sounds like it may just be related to missing a Save and Reboot. Seems like you are making the changes, but they are being forgotten with the reboot because it hasn't updated for some reason.
I have a question about FPV Drones. Do we have a Simplified Explanation for FPV Drone operators where and when they can fly and what and what not they can upload on UA-cam (monetized or not I am working on getting a 107)?
@@Fly_High_FPV Yes I am aware of the 400 rule. 400ft if I have 107 I can fly 400ft above structures. Now the question comes to VLOS. As a FPV Goggled operator I don't have direct visual as described in part 107 but I do know mentally the exact location of the drone. Does that mean I can only fly FPV if have a Visual Observer (spotter) at all times during any FPV flight? Thanks a lot for your reply. I really really appreciate it!
Fantastic tutorial, Joshua! Thanks a bunch!!! 😃 I didn't play with LEDs yet, but I plan to do it with iNav. And I bet it's basically the same (or really similar). 😊 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I find it so annoying that you can't address different strips individually. I know how these leds work, all the data is sent to the first led and it just consumes one block of data and sends the rest on. But they _absolutely_ could have done it so that, let's say, pin 0 sends out the led data. pin 1 just drops the first 4 blocks of data and sends the 5th out. Pin 2 drops the first 8 blocks and sends the next one out. etc. Or make an led strip that has a data in connector, then a chip that consumes the first 4 blocks of data and then sends the next one to the first led. etc. I don't understand why that's not a thing.
Your thoroughness and completeness is what makes this channel so great.
💯 agree
Absolutely!

I must thank you for this series. I just finishet setup of my first 8inch quad. It was very easy. Thx, good work. God speed.
This one was sorely needed, thanks
everything i have a question about fpv a video of you shows up thanks for your work man
incredibly grateful for this walkthrough... wow you are a legend!
Thank you so much for everything you do sir! I appreciate everything! I would not be in the air without your videos!!

Yeah these aren't boats.
If i want to have it same as boat, good to know. Is it like, you see red, give way?
Betaflight now lets you use up to 64 LEDs. I really wish they would increase this number even higher. The quad I'm working on uses 113 LEDs.
Dude finally the one I've been waiting for!!🤣 lol jk this actually really goes to show your daily dedication to making useful fpv content.

Fantastic Series and I did learn something on several days. :?). Did I miss the "Adjustments Tab"?
There should be a mode for Navi lights imho
Is there a way to change profiles using a AUX channel? Lets say, I am waiting for GPS connection and after I get my connection, then change it to Color mode, just a color for each led.
No I don't think so.
Thanks for the tutorial, will be referencing it for pilots who buy my 6S RGB Strips 🙌

Thank
I hope a servo setup tab will be added to BF.
RACE mode and LED color can easily be set from the OSD menu, no need to go into the CLI.

I don't think that FC has SDA SCL pads so I don't think you can use the compass in the GPS.
Yeah go on , you’ll be alright . You don’t need those , they just a compass ,yo gps still be workin foo.

is this a props off test? if so that is normal.

@MrRaja dumb rule, but legally you need a spotter to fly FPV. Hoping thst one will change in the coming years

how about the CLI section
What if I don’t see the led tab???
1:06 You have to enable the LED_STRIP feature for the LED tab to show
Enable it in the config page
