Wish i had taken heed of Stingy's safety tips sooner!
Bumped a cheap controller today while picking up quad while holding the controller, arm switch went on and throttle was pushed up past half, quad munched up my arm from fingertips to elbow, a dozen 2-3 inch slices before i could blink and disarm the quad. Ultimate shame for a noob still flying on my first build ;(
Lesson learned, BE SAFE EVERYONE!
(didn't even break a prop though!)
Golden nugget was how to reset the timer by holding enter. I had always turned my radio on and off to reset. life saver! 👍🏽
Awesome! i was just about to start searching up "how to's" on setting up a timer on my taranis when your video pop up on my video list. Perfect timing. :) Thanks for the insight.
Thanks for all these vids Stingey, I'd love to see one where you talk about what FCs and SWs you have used and what you like or dislike about each
Thanks for the Video! Hope you get a chance to talk about how to perform a motor inspection or maintenance on it after a crash. So we can better understand when it's time to change the motor or if there is anything we can do to get them back in the air.
I am very happy with this video. There are plenty of video's explaining the technical side of setting up the Taranis, but I'd rather see the reason why anyone would select a certain setting, and this video does that to certain extend. I hope you could do a video some day about all your settings and the reasons behind them. expo, failsafe, arming, leds, buzzer, switch positions, flight modes. Most settings are probably mostly personal preference, but I think there is also a best practice setting stuff up. Like having certain switches together, or using a specific failsafe method.Anyway, love your video's, have a lot of fun flying in 2017
Wow. ONE profile for ALL he quads. Mind blown. Why didn't I think of that? Oh right, I fly Spektrum too and I think there you have to have independent models. so I thought my Taranis would be the same. I think I'm going to adopt this.
I like the double switch idea... been thinking about that for a while... time to add it!!
Great to see how others set up their radios...... I like the idea of one model does all..... for what its worth I only use the RSSI setting which reads out every 3 secs and I use a lipo alarm on my batteries.... great if your not flying too far away..... cheers
Thanks for sharing your setup..
I had no idea you could bind multiple receivers to one model, will definitely be making use of that in the future.
interesting to see how everyone has his own little things, thanks stingy!
Thanks. Timer is going to be set up soon for me.
Thanks stingy. You're vlogging has been perfectly timed cos i just got taranis and session 5. I guess you are going to make a video about how to edit videos, if not i'd like to see how you plan, workflow, music and some tips maybe.
This is great. I always thought it would potentially be dangerous if i accidentally bumped the 1 arming switch. I'll be doing this asap! I'm a safety nerd myself.
Great info man. There's actually a way to auto reset your timer or mAh count each time you unplug your quad. Forgotten to reset my mAh count too many times.
HiFlite FPV don't tease me. Tell me how this is done. Lol.
HiFlite FPV oh wait no I think I know. Give me a sec.
HiFlite FPV dang I got it.
HiFlite FPV I can't believe I've never thought of this before. I'm gonna make a video about it. Unless you want to. Let me know if you do.
LOL! That power on sound is HILARIOUS! Any chance you can post that .wav up? "Dang baby, look at them switches!" haha
Dude. Thank you for this
In betaflight you can set one switch to arm motors and one to engage failsafe mode. If the failsafe is ON you cannot arm the motors and if the motors are already armed the failsafe over run the arming command and disarm the motors, if you have set the failsafe to do so. The only downside in this one is that the failsafe normally plays the annoying beeping sound sequence when its on.
Stingy, one thing to consider... I also used to use one model for all my quads. Then one day I stuck one in a tree so high that I had no choice but to try and ram it out with my backup. There was literally no other option as it was over 100' up. I ended up burning up 2 escs and motors before I got it down because I was sending signals to it as well as the quad I was using to rescue it. Just something to think about...
your vlogs are great stingy. I know you wont be able to keep it up daily, but I know many of us would love if you keep doing it at least weekly. it could be a longer vlog that summaries the week for example.
Check out the gopro smashing video if you want to hear my plans for 2017
Nice video thanks for showing that !
Throttle timer works great, around 800 m.amp on dal T5045 bull nose. thanks
Very useful... Thanks Stingy
It's Christmas, not holidays, great vid
dude our radio setup is almost identical. Safety first!
Nice work!
thanks this helps sir, ill need to setup my mods for alien, alot of options with this radio and im glad ive got it now instead of fs-i6 flysky lol
I use the momentary switch to reset the timer because I really hate the buttons on the Taranis and it's much faster that way. You just click it and that's it (used it for a DLG glider where you reset the timer really frequently) :)
Interesting arm sequence! holding out for your export settings for youtube :D
I love the mah schript! It's spot on every time... I HAVE ONLY USED IT on kiss FC and KISS 24a ESC.... but assume it Viller work on other? All my lipo' land ready for parallel charging!
use it as well and works like a charm!
Nice video! But withe The Telemetrie and Voltage I have to disagree you.
actually you can set for example that when the Voltage is under 14.8 Volts for 10seconds you will get the alarm. So The warning comes only one time when the batterie Voltage is under your choosen Volatge for 0-25seconds what ever you choose. i found 10 seconde working the best! The I land ad you will only hear the batterie warning once not at every Punchout! Avter I land my batterie goes up to 15Volts so it is perfekt maybe Try that!
Greatings Paul.
I hope yu understand me and my bad englisch lol
Good idea. I might give it a try.
second that. I logical states with delays for that too
I also set my timer this way ^. Had to use a little trial and error to get it just right
This is what I do too. I have mine set to 4 seconds though. 10 seconds seems too long.
youll shoot your eye out with that thing!
Could you post your model memory somewhere for download? People might appreciate being able to study and understand it!
Thanks for sharing your setup, very informative. I'm assuming you don't use an OSD of any kind ? I just have the Voltage on top right of the screen, and head for home when it drops below a specific amount. Totally get the arming sequence idea, I've got a few nasty scars form inadvertently arming a kwad. Looking forward to the next video, cheers.
Over complicated for sure lol I use Mah as an alarm on my Kiss set up brings all the batteries in at the same % easier for parallel charging
Don't forget to reset your timer! I have a warning if I take off and I have forgotten (as well as voltage telemetry)
I do the same 2 switches, much simpler tho. quad won't arm without throttle at 0, so set a throttle cut to plus 100 on any other switch and success.
+NINJA KWAD lol that sounds like a bad idea. Now if it's armed and you flip that switch it is locked at full throttle. I can disarm from either switch.
StingersSwarm then set it to 1060ms
Thanks Kevin, your videos are so helpful. Do you use any roll-yaw or other mixing like that? Thanks!
"holding enter resets your timer" .... and that's when I realized I have no idea how this radio works :)
+NarcolepticLTD Haha!!! There are so many ways to do the same things. I'm still learning myself.
I tried your timer today... man that shit just WORKS! Also, I only turned my taranis on one time as i didn't have to REBOOT THE STUPID THING AFTER EVERY FLIGHT TO RESET THE TIMER :D Thanks again for putting out what you may think is mundane info :)
Post the 'power on' sound or link to it....please - Dang buddy look at them switches
I have my timer set to one of the switches. Switching it to the middle position starts the timer, up position audibly tells me what my timer is at, bottom position restarts the timer.
I use the S1 dial to arm, u cant move it accidentally, unless u tryd to ride it or something :) i never tryd..
Daaang I think you need to be an airline pilot to understand that arming switch sequence........lol. Oh wait you are....👍👍
personal question... do you have binocular vision? If you're stereoblind, do you think it is an advantage flying quads being able to rely on monocular depth cues?
When using beta/raceflight are you using airmode or just a high enough min throttle? My approach is two switches, one has airmode the other arm but no spin, not quite as safe but along the way. Second question, charger? (Not in your great epic list). Final thing, foxeer arrow is handy, simple voltage osd and it's a single wire from the camera and that's it, no osd drama
Okay... So I watched the video by rotor riot on setting up the Taranis to monitor fuel in mah's for an alarm to sound when I hit 900 mah is used. I noticed that you have fuel set up on yours too in this video. I can't seem to get mine to go off at the set mah at all. Will you show is that in a video please. Thanks in advance!
Quick question, do you mix yaw in at all when you roll? Your camera stays on horizon but I never see any yaw used. Same for Steele, when you have video showing sticks with tricks I don't see any yaw added to keep the camera pointing towards the horizon instead of coning?
SureJet! At least getting shot in the eye with a bb was potentially a good idea.
how do we set the type of timer you have. Also which voltage value name do we used to get quad battery voltage?
Hey Stingy do adjust the spring tension on your sticks?
second, big fan :)
I had no idea about that Taranis Timer with the Throttle Percentage influence! Very cool. I know this is off topic but does anyone know if you can do that sort of timer with a Futaba (F-word)? :)
+Mike Aarset I haven't used a Futaba. Hopefully someone can help you out.
Hello I setup my backlight to the switch but it’s not working
Can you show how to set up the setup?
Angel Pagan agreed
What they said. :)
There is a bunch of your setups that I would like to incorporate in my Taranis.
I myself use a two switch arm setup but use the momentary switch to actually get the props to spin up to idle speed.
Side question, anyone know if you can replace any of your three position switches to a momentary so that you can have two of them?
Any possibility of adding a link to your EEPE file? Would like to play with some of the features you ahve added...
Actually I think I could do that. I'll have to wait till I get back to Atlanta though. If you don't see it soon send me a reminder here, Facebook, instagram, carrier pigeon etc.
Thanks man.. I have this addiction to collecting tunes and taranis files.. lol
What is the best taranis alternative? Tbs Tango?
Hello :)
With my telemetry the voltage readout is sometimes to the nearest tenth of a volt, and sometimes only the volts ,this changes within flights so it says for example 15.9 volts and next one i do a few seconds later would say 15 volts, or sometimes it says 14.9 and then suddenly 14 and the low voltage warning goes off, then i check again and its 14.8. So basically it is very inconsistent and difficult
Also on the screen it's always accurate to a tenth of a volt
bo holland i think you need to update your radios voice files.
Ibrahim Ulf Karlsson hmmm goo idea, i will try it
Does that thing got a hemi in it?
How did you come to the 1:20 for the throttle percentage timer?
+Stacey Abshire Trial and error.
Kind of what I figured... I like the idea.. might try that out
Shot in the eye? Did you have safety glasses?
+Railfan Studios nope
StingersSwarm wow
second!
What are your thoughts on the turnigy evolution?
+jamair31 Looks promising. Haven't tried it. I want one that is compatible with FrSky receivers.
+StingersSwarm yeah having as many quads as you do I'm sure it would be better for you to just be able to use the existing receivers.
Idle up?
+StingersSwarm do you have a patrion?
+Adam Demas Not yet. I should set one up though.
Do it! I'll send $2 per month ;)
I dont think This will work with the xsr each pair is unique. I just copy true precious models though and rename them. Same switches, arming, Luna scripts on all quads
It should work the same. The XSR is the same as the X4R but without all the pins.
what expo rates do you run on your remote?
Eric Dunlap you should never run expo on the radio itself, should always be done in the FC software on a miniquad. can you? sure, but it's not recommended on the radio. BetaFlight and all the others allow you the option in the firmware / software.
why not in the transmitter? This has always been done so in the past, also, it gives you the ability to change it on the field. What benefit is there to do this within the FC instead of the transmitter?
Here is a decent explanation better than I can cite from memory. In summary, it's a latency issue (that is the best way for me to put it) and it's cleaner in the FC.. here "Configuring custom settings in your FC generally does remove the question of resolution/granularity of position sampling on the TX. In theory it can also avoid latency introduced by the position sampling on the TX as well.
"
There is also the issue that to some degree the FC firmware is set by default (depending which you use, Betaflight, KISS, Cleanflight, etc) to have EXPO. If you are running EXPO by default in the FC, then add it in the radio, it has weird effects, and may be more sluggish. at the VERY least, you should run only 1 of them with EXPO. For me, radio EXPO just doesn't feel as good as FC EXPO, especially in Betaflight. The way Boris has it all setup with Super Expo is amazing.
I have a DX9 & Taranis I prefer my DX9 because it feels not so plasticy, the sticks are smoother, I like the black and orange colors better than gray. That being said I have to use expo on controller compared to when i use my Taranis no expo just BF tuning. I'm a newer pilot only a year with only a few months of doing flips & rolls stunts. Steel has a video where he said that the Taranis is more dedicated to quad copters and general flying where spektrum is very spread out and not as dedicated just to flying. I agree its latency and skills, sure there are spektrum user that dont use expo but for me it helps. I had my pid so turned up my quad was flying bad and still was slow at rolls and flips. I've heard pros say do what works best for you & expo is a great tool to use if your struggling with pid tuning or at the field & didn't feel like bringing your laptop:)
ok, that makes it more clear. I can understand there are some advantages setting it up within the FC, especially if the PID settings are also changed with stick position (super expo/betaflight). Also, choosing were you setting expo TX or FC and not both makes sense.
But better latency? The TX outputs the stick value, using expo within the TX just outputs a different stick value, but doesn't influence the speed of output.
o 4th
WOW THAT'S CONFUSING
I know. I tried to keep it simple but it is pretty complicated.
So you do not use OSD?
+Michal Paal I just don't like OSD's I used them when I started but I just don't care for them.
to be honest...you setup is simple...mine is a lot more complicated...haha
