Thanks Ben!
I've watched a LOT of F405 & iNav videos lately, but yours answered a tremendous amount of questioms I had, not only for the wiring, but in your follow up video regarding iNav.
Well done indeed!
"SUBBED" 🎯
Thank you so much, that made my day! 🙂
Nice step by step guide. Thanks for sharing this great video
Been slow to release the follow up video, but I plan on working on it this week. I've learned a bunch about iNav and the Opterra 1.2M that I can't wait to share with you!
what lamp is that? I really need one like that...if you have a link...
Great video , thanks
Sweet! I couldn't help but click. And then subscribed.
Great video.
nice shot of your hand hiding what you are soldering, great it demonstrated exactly what I needed to see
Lol sorry, first time isn't always perfect
But if you have a question maybe I can answer it
@@thegreatflyingbenjamin no problem, just pointing out, still a good video and I am sure you will improve
Great video, Ben. I am ready to assembly my Sonic AR fixed wing with this FCB. Thanks for provide us with this awesome information. Cheers from Brazil
This is the build Im planning too. The AR900 is a great platform, but its iNav that is daunting! There is a LOT to learn to get it complete and performing.
I've also 4 Ritewing Draks - 2 Nano's, 1 Mini, and 1 BIG Drak, that once I'm familiar w/iNav, I plan on moving up to the F765 for more features to install in tje Draks...
So much to learn, but I thought the AR900 would be the perfect guinea pig for my "mad-scientist" experimemts.
Hope yours go well. 👍🏼
You sound just like James woods ......love the video just in the middle of installing this board
Lol best compliment ever 😅
Great instructional video! Hey may I ask what type of solder is being used and what was the digital temperature or the analog setting (if known). The soldering looked top notch!
Thanks :) I've been using 0.5mm Tin lead Solder Wire Rosin Core Soldering 2% Flux Reel Tube 60/40. I was about a 3 1/2 on my Weller WLC100. This solder goes a long way and has been very forgiving of my learning curve :)
Sorry for the late post, I'm installing mine on a Sweepwings Juggernaut and I wanted to ask you if you connected the RSSE from the L9R to the RSSI pin on the board. (Look for a comment on it but couldn't find it) Thanks, great video!
Where my ESC another cable for signal wire connect to F405 beside of 5V and GND
Gr8 video this board has replaced boards that at the start of the year where seen as ground breaking like the AIR 3 Inav board that was setup foe planed but need Ubecs and external osd all sorts of added crap. Really liking what ai have seen of this board.
But since being involved in the 4g mod of the disco and flying 30km I haven't launched my Opterra in over a year. Only flown once and first ever plane I flew, without stabiliser. It is the best plane for long range I feel as once in the air the amp draw is so low to keep it flying its like it stays up by itself.
Would love to know your thoughts on its flight characteristics. My other firt plane never gor more than 10 m off the ground before reinstalling so I dont count that as first flight. It disnt fly it feel! It was a plane not a wing though both 2m. Why I thought they would make good first planes is so stupid to me now. All the best gr8 video will follow your journey see how u go. 😊
Do you only have 3 wires going to your Video transmitter, the yellow signal wire and then a ground and hot wire? I was confused when i read the wiring diagram because it looks like there's more than that. Thanks for your help. great video!!
Happy this video had helped so many people 🙂 Happy flying!!
where i can buy the bluetooth board?
Nice tutorial video! Mine FC is about to come home! Only one question on this video: Can the FC be rotated 90° degrees????
Yup! It can be mounted any way you want. I think in my other video it explains how to change orientation settings
Какую прошивку лучше заливать в Matek F405 Wing ? С сайта разработчика полётного контроллера,или с сайта Github ? ( Есть исправленные от ошибок прошивки. Есть версия 1.9.1 Есть версия 2.0.0 . Я залил в Matek прошивку 1.9.1 с сайта разработчика полётного контроллера . Она помечена "Fix overflow in currentSensorToCentiamps " ( www.mateksys.com/?p=5159#tab-id-3 ) Не уверен,что в этой прошивке все ошибки исправлены.
I'm about to try this board in a FT Spear. I've used betaflight bit this will be a first with iNav and GPS. Does the GPS and barometer offer anything close to an auto-landing or is it more of an "approximate" return to home airspace?
I've seen auto landing in some other iNav videos, but I don't know how it would account for trees or obstacles. It seems to fly in a radius and lower the altitude after each pass until it's on the ground. I personally set mine up for return to home, then loiter until I can manually take it over and land. So in my case it turns around, comes home and flies in a radius around where you set the home location (which you want to do before every flight).
Hi thanks for your video. Your GPS looks very close to everything else. Did you have interference issues on locking FPS or with compass?
Don't think so, though sometimes it took a while to get a good GPS lock. I started going with a smaller GPS recently.
thanks !
hello, for the VBat to work, do I have to connect the ESC in one of the two outputs
With this board it's actually a PDB so you wire the battery straight to the board and that gives you battery voltage on the screen
I just received my L9R, connected properly but it doesn't show in Inav, any idea?
Check out this page and pay close attention to the UART settings. Make sure you're using that serial RX switch: www.mateksys.com/?portfolio=f405-wing#tab-id-3
Great vid, investing in a better soldering station would be a plus for you !
Any advice? I'm always down for an upgrade!
@@thegreatflyingbenjamin Thanks UA-cam for not sending notification.. I personally have a FX888D from Hakko and it heats up pretty fast and has plenty of power for big PCBs. I'm thinking of getting a TS100 but I'm looking for a cable to power it. It looks great and Louis Rossmann said it was great and reviews are also good ;)
Oh and also... Did you managed to use the L9r? I have a S6R and it sadly doesn't work with my F405. I believe it's an inverting issue so I need to get another frsky pretty fast and thought I'd get this one
@@MarcAntoineBvl L9R works pretty well actually. Just used the sbus connection and was off and running 🙂
@@thegreatflyingbenjamin just bought it. Will put it in my nano talon with the F405, planning on getting a big mapping plane to get huge range and switching all the electronics in there ;) Again thanks for the video!
Hi, at 8.21 you have a wiring diagram that shows the receiver smart port connecting to tx2.... I notice on your actual reciever you only have 3 wires ( sbus signal, 5v and ground).... I'm guessing on your build you have left the tx2 empty?
I think so, I was running a frsky with sbus, which only needed those three connected. Hope that makes sense 😃
@@thegreatflyingbenjamin yes, that makes sense - thanks. I have a flysky ia6b receiver, with ibus , do you happen to know is ibus can be used instead of sbus on the matek 405?
@@beefybeef1326 I'm sorry, I don't. From my little bit of googling though, it doesn't look like it's the interchangeable. I'm wondering if the software has to support it or if it's a hardware thing. Might want to hit up Matek. Take care!
@@thegreatflyingbenjamin thanks for the information and taking the time to reply. Really good video series on this matek f405 with inav- I learned alot from you, thanks
@@beefybeef1326 Happy to help! Safe flight! :)
Hi, can you take rssi out from L9R and in on the Matek and set up in inav? If so, are you gone to make a video of this?
I believe you can! I'll check and confirm though. Yes, I want to make a software video. Hopefully in the next week.
Thank you for the answer. It would be great if you make a video of this, because I received the F405Wing yesterday. I will use it in a volantex ranger 2000.
Since the FrSky L9R is a non-telemetry receiver, I don't see a way of getting RSSI from it. There are plenty of other receivers that would give you telemetry, but from what I've read, this can't.
Hi The L9R have a RSSI pin out
And the matek have a RSSI pin in on the Board
Do you know how to setup RTH.
you need gps for rth, when you plug the plane he record home. easy.
You rotated you FC? Can you make a video of that? I try to rotate mind but no luck, dont know why
Sure thing! I'm going to try to do a video about what I've learned with the configuration program. Just gotta iron out a few bugs first :)
looking forward :)
DJICambodia the rotation if still stuck needs to be set in the configurator u can say rotate board 90° thats where most people mess that part up including me! 😊
Your Board is facing the WRONG way !!!!!!!!!! GPS will fail !! Arrow too the Front !!!!!
Actually you can change that in the settings, you don't have to follow the arrow. 😁
