What's the quad doing the follow Andy? I'm looking for something that can go this fast.

Hello Andy, can you please put a video showing how you calculated PSC_VELXY_FF using logs.

Apart from an interesting intro to AM32, this is a great general ArduCopter setup video with some great problem-solution moments for many little things that have definitely caught me out when setting up a quad. Great video Andy!

Hey Andy 2:43 , if you dont throttle up then pitch/roll the adjacent motors stop! I about to revive an old tarot hex for some surf fishing 😅

Nice, Cheers

Andy, sorry for the late post, but I had seen your earlier videos with Lee about tuning the Heewing VTOL, and asked him what the status was. He intimated that your work had likely been incorporated by Heewing into their current T1 Ranger VTOL PNP kits. I just received my PNP kit from Heewing and assembled it and programmed it according the Heewing directions, but have not flown it yet. Can you confirm the Heewing is using at least some of your parameters (their current version is AP 4.3.5)? Any suggestions for further noise filtering and PID? Thanks!!!

I had noticed Ardupilot aggressive taking off the ground since 4.3. in your video I saw the same. Is there any param to take off smoother. Big copter is scarry.

will m9 be better since it has higher update rate?

I think you need an example of let's say a perfect 2 gps with perfect accuracy first to have a good understanding, 2 gps that close is not really a good idea tbh

do a disarmed log and ground a data pin or just unplug to determine gps id

Nice to see you just having fun and not teaching us. There is no doubt we need your help, but not every day. Send us one or two of these mixed in with the hardware videos. Cheers!

i used betaflight , and now trying to use inav 7

🎉

Maybe it’s just me, but I can barely hear you.

amazing work Andy!

Is the horizon ment to drift that much on osd

Thanks. That's pretty impressive.

Cool! Would be great if you can post the FPV video at some point too so we can see what the tune is like. It looked like he did a lot of flips and so on, so that should give us rapid enough movement to be able to assess the tune.

I'm setting up my t-1 ranger vtol as well, using the speedybee f4 mini. I'm using arduplane. What notch filter settings would you recommend? I finished my x500 as you set yours up and really do appreciate the videos you have done for that project! thank you very much..

The hard-deck on this hop will be 10 feet

Really looking forward to this getting merged. For the landing "problem", could you not just switch to RTL or LAND using a switch or button?

Is it safe to set EK3_ABIAS_P_NSE to 0.003 and EK3_ACC_BIAS_LIM to 0.1 if using RTK?

Wow good news.

Really your videos help me a lot to achieve a fast GPS assisted quadcopter for falcon training.. 🙏🙏

Hi there. You show a flight controller at about 3:29 min:sec into the video which you mention has a built in Nvidia Jetson computer but you don’t say who makes the controller. Could you talk about the board and why someone would want to use that board in more detail. Thank you!

thank you

Hello, please tell me how to connect a mini boozer to this? there is no third contact for the green wire.

hi，Thank you for sharing in such detail. What type of sponge is used for the barometer? Is there a link to buy it?

Extremely cool! Thanks so much for the video. I'd absolutely love a GPS shout-out vid. I'll be running back in to see what your channel had in store. I'm subb'n ya bro!

Very interesting. As a fixed winger, I keep my waypoint radius at 50 meters and fly all corners at cruise speed, typically just 15 m/s. Wonder what such a radius would do to a flight like this one -- probably more distance, but possibly less time and energy?

Great I have build a fast GPS assisted quadcopter 177 kmh and after a lot of issues it's flying great with a lot of power...

What camara are you using on this flight?

thank you for an amazing video. if i want to add or remove for example UART, should i do it on the hwdef only or i have to do it with another software for example cubemx?

Hi Andy, please help me with advice as a specialist in Ardupilot, my Chimera 7 performs a clear hover at the Poshold and Loiter point in 50% of cases when turned on, sometimes it goes into the toilet, starts flying in a circle, if you turn it off and turn it on again, it’s like whist at the point ideally, and so every time, 25-30 satellites, the compass shows correctly, the accelerometer calibration was redone, the other modes Altohold, Lading, Break work at 100% on, where should I look for the problem?

Hello, how we can determine the oscillations because on 8:36 second of video you mention pitch still have oscillations but roll and yaw doesn't have... Yellow graph is yaw right... It's look similar to pitch... Then why. I don't understand what is the difference btw them?

So as I understand If I have ATC_RAT_YAW_D 0.000 in big octocopter coax with 20" propellers Autotune for Yaw_D will not work ? I have to change this ATC_RAT_YAW_D to 0.001 to force Autotune to set this parameter ?

I didn't see any wire connected. Is there any links or report of the IMU analysis, maybe comparision test report of IMU stability?

Can we use this to dji o3? I want to be able to switch the o3 power on and off so it wont get overheated while setting up the quad on the table

Nice explanation! I would really like to know if I can contact you in order to obtain a course in arducopter configurations

A very informative video, thank you. Just reading myself in to ArduPilot again after being out of the loop for a few years. About to start building a five inch quad for fpv flying using acro mode. I have an old Kakute F7 AIO flight controller that I’m going to use which has the benefit of a micro sd card for logging along with Spedix GS35 amp esc and early version of T-Motor F40 motors. The detailed explanation of your settings has been very helpful. Looking forward to watching your tuning video next.

Thanks for the vid., Andy. Just quick a question, are you on v6.31 or v6.17 TBS FW?

Thank you Andy, I will definately use FBWA next time. I have set mine up with your parameters on a Matek F405 TE but unfortunately SERVO_BLH_BDMASK is missing? Do you have any ideas on this or is it something not to worry about? My firmware is V4.4.4. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you.

You can try starting the tuning process by reducing Q_A_INPUT_TC to 0.2 The precision of the XY navigation controller also is quite high. Additionally, consider increasing Q_A_RAT_YAW_FLTE. Q_P_POSXY_P 0,7 Q_P_VELXY_D 0,126 Q_P_VELXY_FF 0,1 Q_P_VELXY_I 0,06018 Q_P_VELXY_P 0,6 loiter controller Q_LOIT_SPEED 1000 Q_LOIT_BRK_JERK 100 Q_LOIT_BRK_DELAY 0,5 Q_LOIT_BRK_ACCEL 25 Q_LOIT_ACC_MAX 500 czcams.com/video/9NZ5mNGRDiY/video.html

Super thank you to you, Sir. I am building one with an 5in frame, coming from BF and Kiss setups, this tutorial is super helpful, and the subs., IMO has to justify better.

Interesting flapping. I thought perhaps you were slowing it down for transition and it was trying to stall. Watched again and I can hear your switch before any flapping. Still interesting. :)

Aaaah!

Very cool. I think I'm still seeing a little bit of that yaw oscillation that seems to plague the tilt-rotors in the landing right?

Can you please share your parameters after tuning? I was trying to do the transition today but I got a broken aileron servo again.. thanks for the support and videos. By the way can you make a video tutorial on how to run the quick tune script and how to install it?

what props are you going to use? I haven't got my motors yet but I plan to use 2004 2400KV with 5'' props
