Nice work! I'm trying to build a boat with inav and i would like to use loiter mode to "anchor" the boat against the water current. How easy is to implement this feature?
Great stuff Pawel, I'm struggling getting a twin thrust motored Hovercraft that uses differential thrust for steering (no rudders) to work with adequate authority. I have two aircraft gyros one for each ESC to actively control/stabilise the Yaw , but they don't have throw or persistence they just 'blip' like they would kick the rudder for an aircraft, so this tutorial using a FC has given me hope and insight. The tank track 'diff' control is what I'm going to aim for control of the motors and the gyro and compass for heading stabilisation, as hovercraft, floating on a cushion of air can spin all to easily. Keep up the ideas and videos. Safe safe in these strange times. Thank you.
Hello, I am running iNav 2.5.1 on a Matek F411 wing fc. I have it configured in Rover mode with a Matek M8Q-5883 GPS unit connected, a VTX and a FrSky R9mm rx. It is powered by a 3s 1000mah lipo. The Fc is mounted on its side in the rover and that is accounted for in iNav. I have two outputs set as pitch and roll and these servo outputs on the board are connected to the forward backward and turn channels on a Sabertooth 2x10a rc controller. This controls the four motors/wheels on a Lynxmotion A4WD1 V2 Rover Chassis. The sabre tooth and motors, are also powered by a 2nd 3s lipo. Using a FrSky Qx7 controller with a R9 Module, I have full control or the rover forwards, backwards, left and right. I have Ch3 set to arm mode on and off in iNav, and Ch4 set to enable Nav WP Mode. Both of these change the mode correctly in iNav. The Matek GPS is showing a full lock and perfect position in iNav and when out in the field it flashes blue showing a full lock. (I am only using +-rx/tx and not the SDA and SCL wires for the compass) In iNav I have set basic course of some straight lines with waypoints to form a rough grid shape. This has been saved to the eprom. I have powered everything up and in iNav I have loaded the course to the FC. I then move the vehicle outside and arm it using ch3. I can manually drive it fine. I then us the stick command throttle down and rhs to top right. After doing this I then active iNav WP using ch4, but nothing then happens. I can still drive the rover manually though. Can anybody suggest where I start to trouble shoot this please. Many thanks
Thanks for the video. I have a couple of issues: the reversible motor feature is not saving, after a save-reboot it is unchecked. Also, I have two motors (not 1 motor, 1 servo). The model is a tank and one motor is forward/reverse and the 2nd motor rotates the gearbox differential and only affects yaw. How can I represent a yaw-only motor in the mixer as zero-throttle motors seem to be deleted in inav-configurator?
can you do a video on how to get the regular reversible brushed ESCs that come with a regular RC car? is there anything special that I have to do for those ?
I always enjoy your video. I am building a boat in iNav2.5.2 now. But I have one issue. As the throttle deadband which is brushed motor ESC is different from center, I have to change "3d_neutral" from 1475 to 1400. But I could not change it. Do you know whether this is a specification or not?
if you do not need turning in place, take a look at the airplane differential mixer. For tuning in place, I will have to come up with a more advanced solution
@@FPVUniversity perfect thank you, going to use this suggestion as I don't need tuning. Very simple left right motors on tracks. I am using modified servos as the motors.
Witam a czy jest możliwość ustawienia inav na aucie RC tak aby korygował odchylenia w torze jazdy ? Dla przykładu, znosi mi auto przy dodawaniu gazu dajmy na to w prawo to czy FC będzie kontrował kierownica tak aby otrzymać prosty tor jazdy?
I've just built my Rocver Crawler and followed your video but I cant get the motor to run, I have Inav 2.5, Kakute F722 Mini, SMP4650 receiver and have tried two esc 1 with F/R and the other forward esc and nether seem to drive the motor, in Inav, inputs tab I can do motor run test and works and in Inav,receiver tab I have throttle signal, appreciate if you can help with this Pawel.
@@FPVUniversity I reset the board then followed your video link and with the Rover default settings the motor still wouldn't start so I set an arm switch in modes tab and esc then initialised and motor now runs, I will test drive the Crawler before I attempt to put your above video settings in as they may not be required, bench testing motor seems to drive okay, really appreciate your help thanks Pawel as ive been trying to sort this for days.
You don't need stabilized Yaw as I found it causes issues with centering on my crawler. Swapping over to RC Yaw fixed this if anyone has the same problem :)
Awesome! Can this control an rc car with 4 wheel direct drive brushless motors? The mixer would essentially be an electronic differential. Would be super cool to play around with that for drifting, etc. Something like this: ua-cam.com/video/ET1HEyqEQJQ/v-deo.html
I wish an updated version of this video existed, but great information either way
Outstanding. Just what I needed for my autonomous lawn mower build! Thank you.
Brilliant thanks mate. I'm off to try compass calibration and waypoints now.
Thank you Pawel! I have a 1/6 scale RC truck that I plan on adding Inav to. This should be a lot of fun!!

Great work. Where can the set-up information for driving a tank w/ differential steering be found? Many thanks.
waiting for the video on motor mixer for tracks im having a little trouble setting that up
Another request for differential steering information please!

Does INAV support rovers which don't ise servos for steering - like tracked rovers or moon rover style, which turns by speeding up wheels on one side?
Thanks for the video. I have a couple of issues: the reversible motor feature is not saving, after a save-reboot it is unchecked. Also, I have two motors (not 1 motor, 1 servo).

How can I represent a yaw-only motor in the mixer as zero-throttle motors seem to be deleted in inav-configurator?
Anyway to use gyro for yaw/steering? I tried heading hold but didn't do anything.
can you do a video on how to get the regular reversible brushed ESCs that come with a regular RC car? is there anything special that I have to do for those ?
Hello. Is inav 6.1 same applicable for rover? Can't use GPS without compass
Hi and thx for the new inspiration . But i have one question. is it possible to use inav rover on a mamba f722 mini?

Nice working on mine now. Cheap 1/8 scale brushed motor.
I came here for the motor mixer on tracks, when will you have that up for us? I have a tank waiting for its inav setup.

Hi. Is there any documentation/user manual for the rover/boats? And also is there a list of cli commands and what they actually do anywhere?
typing 'help' in the CLI gives a list of the available commands if that is of any use?
@@gregmccawley2327 yes I did find that but I’m looking for what they do and what the units are when you change the numbers.
What stickmode do I need to do to arm with reversibele esc?

Tak, technicznie jest to możliwe. Ale trzeba by było dobrać nastawy regulatora PID aby to działało jak powinno

Fantastic, Pawel! Thanks a lot! 😃
I still don't know where to use it, but I definitely want to! 😂

Почему моя лодка на WP не полностью отключает мотор. Остаётся 1550.
is this procedure still valid in INAV v7. 1?
Yes

I get a map in gps inav but not in inav mission planner?
fixed.....zoomed in to Indian ocean!
Nice video ! I want to know how to calibrate the reversible esc , i am stuck on that with mine ! Thank's for your superb video , they help a lot !
Did you ever figure this out?
@@travislab7687 i found that my center stick was not centered !
@@Joziebee is it somewhere around 1370?
@@travislab7687 yes , i changed the dead band to : neutral 1500 , max 1501 and 1499 , and it is better .
Why doesn't my WP boat turn off the motor completely. Remains 1550.
enable Motor Stop
@@FPVUniversity enable Motor Stop ON
nice!! my drones are still on rc2 😄

Pavel, please add Russian subtitles to your videos. You watched a lot of Russian speakers, but not everyone knows English.
I don't speak russian so how am I supposed to transalte to russian?
