Is there a way to make it continuously fly the mission over and over until I take control again? I want to put a plane on a repeating mission and chase it with a quad (I have multiple radios and goggles)
Hello I know this is an older video and you’ve done newer stuff but I had an interesting thing happened today with my Helion 10.. I had all calibrations, compass and accelerometer done and accurate, took off, tested position hold and altitude hold and it worked great. Return to home was a little wonky the first time but then worked good the second time. I then flew a half mile away and initiated a return to home further away, suddenly the compass became completely backwards and started flying the wrong way! what would cause this? As a sidenote, I have this exact same highlight compass in my GepRC Mark Five working absolutely wonderful.
Good tut! My experience is the mission save /load fails often. Also stick command for load mission is 50/50. Nice that at arm it now gives “mission loaded”.
I've had the issue where the save to FC can often take two tries but never had the issue where the load stick command didn't work. Excited to see the new features to missions in INAV 4.0!
Hi nice video, I am planning to build a fixed wing from scratch and want to use the Matek F411 WTE as FC. I was wondering if you would know if this FC is capable of waypoints missions. I assume it is since it runs on Inav 4.1 or higher but I am new to Inav so I am not 100% sure. Greetings Robin
That was an animation to help keep track of the inserted videos. If you want something like that for real, check out arducopter and Mission Planner... best of luck
Hi Lee, great channel thanks for all the hard work you put into the great content! Quick question does Inav have a way of getting pc based live telemetry like ardupilot?
Not easily. You need some kind of telemetry back down to the PC. You could look at the options here - github.com/iNavFlight/inav/blob/master/docs/Telemetry.md - but things like Ardupilot are better for that with MAVLink support and a wide range of telemetry radios to choose from..
I love inav missions on planes but found it to be very sloppy with qwads unless you go very slow. Setting speed to 20mph inav appears drunk during missions.
Saw I can do jump and have it repeat circle. P1 to which waypoint it goes to if you want to skip like wp1.. and P2 is how many times it repeats. I set RTH after that jump 3 times. hoping returns to home after. this is first test. I tested Position hold and return to home.. all worked great a long with land. Weird thing is arrow was pointing wrong direction but it still turned around and arrow changed to point home everytime.. so weird.. I raised safe distance to 15000
It's great to see these new features coming in to iNav, it looks like they could do some work on making the transitions between waypoints smoother though. Are there settings now that could help with this?
Awesome. Been wanting to setup a mission for battery testing flights. So I don't have to Activision fly for 40 mins I can just watch. But at time was having issues with compass. Now I want to try again. I'll do a small circle for testing first.
Hello sir, Nav wp is not present in new Firmwares 7.0.0., but configurator shows mission control and allows to upload mission. so, how to i start mission without nav wp in modes tab. is there any solution please help me out. i have these Flight contollers with me Speedybee f405-v3, flywoo goku f722, geprc f7, T-motor f7.
Another great video, you say we can use inav lua to keep track of waypoints during flight, how is this done? I haven't found any information on this. Thanks for all your videos
Spectacular. Can't wait to try this when the weather here gets better. Currently on INAV 6 and RTH and POS works well. Going to upgrade to INAV 7 first though and get RTH and POS before trying the waypoints
hi, i've got a little problem. If i set missions on my phone with speedebee, it doesn't want to arm when mission is uploaded into eprom and says 1st wp, can't arm. GPS shows my actual position. Any solution for this?
I want to take a photo of an object at each waypoint. Is it easily possible to take manual control, after reaching thw waypoint, and then after photo has been taken, have it continue on to the next way point for gathering a photo at the next waypoint? Forgive me,but I've never tried INAV. I have only used betaflight and it doesn't help me.
At the moment the 'mission planning' part of the Configurator is basic and just gives you the distance. You can create missions using other tools and one of them might.. Best of luck!
@@Painless360 Thank you so much! Have you dabbled with any of the ardupilot type programs? I'm being advised to get some INAV under my belt (wings/ blades etc.) as it is more user (e.g. beginner) friendly. Could you weigh in on this; INAV vs. Arduwing/Pilot etc?
@@k4x4map46 Ardu has a lot more configuration available for mission planning, with the right hardware you can get arduplane to trigger cameras for example. I would say ardu is a LOT more complicated, and unless you actually need all those features then iNav is a better option for someone just starting out. That being said, arduplane is very powerful and considered one of (if not the) best flight control software out there for autonomous flying. But if you just need the basic flight modes and waypoint stuff, iNav is more than capable.
Hey! In theory any quadcopter with a GPS and Compass using a supported flight controller will work. Manufacturers are finally waking up to INAV but so far I've not seen a small INAV quad.. Yet!
I got a 3 inch HGLRC XJB145 working after swapping out the flight controller to a HAKRC Mini F4 and adding a Matek M8Q-5883 GPS Module. Extremely difficult build for me with my big hands. Had to remove the ESC connector and solder directly to the pcb. Under the 250g weight limit.
Is there a way to make it continuously fly the mission over and over until I take control again?

Yes, use the JUMP command on the last waypoint. P1= the waypoint to jump to and P2 is the number of times to repeat..
A -1 will repeat indefinitely

I've never seen that. Compass heading off by 180 degrees! I'd possibly log a bug report and attach the log files... best of luck

Yes it is. Best of luck
guessing OSD HUD wp display doesnt work on DJI ? ugh
Not at the moment...
Greetings, Sir
At approx 15:00, how were you able to view the aircraft on flight on INAV to showcase your aircraft icon flying the route?
That was an animation to help keep track of the inserted videos. If you want something like that for real, check out arducopter and Mission Planner... best of luck
how to delete and clear my mission from eefrom dud..thanks
Not aware of a way apart from saving another over the top..
Hi Lee, great channel thanks for all the hard work you put into the great content!
Quick question does Inav have a way of getting pc based live telemetry like ardupilot?
'm sure someone has done it but I am not sure how.. best of luck
Why do Bing maps always show way points to be 24 M below sea level when I know it is 6 meters above SL
Sounds like a bug, I'd let the developers know...
Great video
Once the mission is flying how do you view the quad mission on inav pc
Not easily. You need some kind of telemetry back down to the PC. You could look at the options here - github.com/iNavFlight/inav/blob/master/docs/Telemetry.md - but things like Ardupilot are better for that with MAVLink support and a wide range of telemetry radios to choose from..
Lee is it possible to add TFP mini pro sensor for position hold in inav ?
Not sure I understand the question. Position hold uses GPS, baro and accelerometers.. Happy flying

There are lots of things due in INAV 4.0 that change missions so we can look at this in an update on what changed... Happy flying!

GPS flight modes only appear when the nessesary optional sensors (GPS and Compass) are installed and configured... Happy flying
Thanks will check it right away@@Painless360
Thanks a lot, Its working now 😄.
Really interesting process, Lee! 😃
Thanks a lot! I'm going to try it!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks, you too!
Another great video, you say we can use inav lua to keep track of waypoints during flight, how is this done? I haven't found any information on this. Thanks for all your videos
I would imagine most of this is valid for fixed wing missions also? All except ignoring any of the POI stuff.
Yep. Best of luck
Spectacular. Can't wait to try this when the weather here gets better. Currently on INAV 6 and RTH and POS works well. Going to upgrade to INAV 7 first though and get RTH and POS before trying the waypoints
Stay tuned, I'm about to make an updated version of this video... Happy flying
thank you for the easy to understand video about inav
hi, i've got a little problem. If i set missions on my phone with speedebee, it doesn't want to arm when mission is uploaded into eprom and says 1st wp, can't arm. GPS shows my actual position. Any solution for this?
Probably has the firstly waypoint too far away.. look at the exact error you're getting in the wiki.. best of luck

At the moment starting and stopping a mission wouldn't work like that. Lots of changes coming that may improve things.. Happy flying
Very cool. Can't wait to try out all these new features.
What if rc link is lost during waypoint mission, does it continue or rth is activated, or you turn off your radio for example?
See the first part of the video. I cover the settings that selects what happens.. Happy flying
Nice series! Does the mission planner used here give you an estimate of "time of flight" to complete all waypoints and RTH?
At the moment the 'mission planning' part of the Configurator is basic and just gives you the distance. You can create missions using other tools and one of them might.. Best of luck!

Hi Lee, what the smallest long range quad that can use inav at the moment?
Hey! In theory any quadcopter with a GPS and Compass using a supported flight controller will work. Manufacturers are finally waking up to INAV but so far I've not seen a small INAV quad.. Yet!
@@Painless360 how about flywoo 4 inch quad?
I got a 3 inch HGLRC XJB145 working after swapping out the flight controller to a HAKRC Mini F4 and adding a Matek M8Q-5883 GPS Module. Extremely difficult build for me with my big hands. Had to remove the ESC connector and solder directly to the pcb. Under the 250g weight limit.
It needs a compass as well as a GPS, is the FC supported in INAV? I bet it doesn't have a compass.. Best of luck!
