Doing this stuff in Companion is SOOOO much easier than on the radio. I like the mental exercise of figuring things like this out with logical switches and GVs. It’s like trying to figure out complex math with only basic operations. Yes, I’m weird haha.
I've been looking for a way to automate simple maneuvers and can see this is how it would be done. Will definitely have to experiment with this. Thanks!
Excellent tip, Lee! Thanks a bunch! 😃 I still don't know how, but I'm definitely going to use it! 😂 (My mind is short-circuiting right now with ideas!) Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Yes love the timers early days for me But simple throttle timer is great for a starter less to concentrate on , my throttle timer ticks up when throttle applied with minute counts given , leaving you to concentrate on flying & listen for the timer , well works for me , but edge does have a wealth of stuff to try hopefully I’ll try a few more
I have enjoyed watching several of your videos and this one is very interesting. I am running a project where I would have students be able to run an RC drone for set time -15 minutes and they take turns. Is there a way that logical switches can be programmed such that a count down 15 min timer starts after the throttle exceeds 25% and continues to count down irrespective of further throttle movements. At the end of 15 minutes, the logic causes the throttle to automatically return to idle and remain in idle ( throttle disabled ). Then re-enabling throttle requires a mix of two different inputs from the toggle switches.
Good video, which is the best radio transmitter and receiver for a long distance quadcopter, what do you think of the Frsky Tandem xe. thanks for your time
Depends on what you mean by Best. Many would still say that the TBS Crossfire system is the best for proven long range, wide support in the hobby and with fast telemetry. It fits most radios, the ones from RadioMaster are my favourites...
Hello sir I've following your channel since 2 years and learnt a lot of things about quads and also made 4 quads, but the latest one I am making is with a radiolink pixhwak fmu3 version and when I installed it in the frame and took the maiden flight it flew well but when I tried to land and disarm the quad there was no response and also in loiter mode the quad is very unstable and just tip over, i also tried to see the flight logs but it was too overwhelming for me, sir I request you to make a video on how to see what wrong with your FC and how to find it in logs
It could be a few things. What troubleshooting have you already done? All of the basic setup steps that work for me every time are in the Pixhawk 2023 series... Best of luck
@@Painless360 as of now I have done compass, accel and radio calibration 4 times checked all motor connections and also added more vibration absorber. I also analyze the flight logs in auto analyzer and it was showing all param good but it doesn't show any problems related to vibrations and gps sir these drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TvR3z41iUej-J3eh6hvVXEp1yR4vvJGU?usp=sharing are my flight logs and in the last and most recent log my quad also crashed in alt hold mode and also it was not taking any commands from RC transmitter, i would be really grateful if you could help me in this :)
I don't analyse things like logs outside of the Patreon group as I struggle to get the time to do a proper review. Please see the series mentioned above. Best of luck.

If you are, them I am too!! 😁
@@Painless360 I think we're all a little weird in this hobby lol
@@Painless360 safety in numbers! 😜

That looks super useful. I was wondering how I could get it to tell me the battery voltage every minute, and this seems perfect.
well that saves a heap of faffing with an arduino! nice one Lee!

Yep, agreed! ua-cam.com/video/bScCdTrJxgo/v-deo.html
Practical example here: ua-cam.com/video/mhNpp8Hztn8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=stephanbre
"biting" is controlled by a logical switch "timer". 🙂
Thanks for the video! Can you do this exercise in Open TX as well?
Same process... Give it a try (I've also already made a video on it in the Opentx mix school series) Happy flying!

I'm sure you can. I'd suggest a logical switch set by the throttle above 25%, with a timer that then overrides the throttle channel. Best of luck
