I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS IS THE FIRST ARDUPILOT PLANE FOR YOU i WAS ONBOARD A WEEK AFTER CHIBIOS. You will love it!!!
The mode switching is a place where the Jumper and Radio Master push buttons really shine. Welcome to the AP club Andrew!
Yes I see that now
I have found ARDU is light years ahead of INAV for just about anything fixed wing. On two different wings INAV drilled me into the ground It must have been INAV cause I am A SUPERB pilot LOL!! I am sure it was me but in reality on two separate planes I suffered an unrecoverable tip stall, I only changed the firmware and it has not happened since. I think my luck has just been better with ARDUPILOT, and my terrible piloting was at fault for my crashes with INAV. ARDUPILOT has simply amazed me. I have run a mission from a park bench and programed a landing in front of me. Without touching the sticks it took two steps to recover my plane, Yes I thought it was gonna hit me.
Ha, very cool, and brave
I'm really happy to see you doing an Ardupilot build, too many folks learn INAV and just stop, not wanting to learn another system. I love INAV, and use it for many of my more basic builds, but if I want to build a serious plane, with all the bells and whistles, I go with Ardupilot. It isn't pigeon-holed into a certain model mix, you have far more options.
Your doing a GREAT job recording your videos! Straight to the point but sometimes still helpful. Keep it up man!
Thanks, my aim is to be sometimes helpful
Very smooth fly
great video👍👍👍👍
I only switched my F405W in the Dart XL-E to Ardu last week and slowly learning the variables. Still working out how to loosen up the FBWA tune so it doesn't resist me when I want to play in the trees with some mild stabilisation. First issue encountered was failsafe default of Circle mode for 5 seconds before RTL which caused a premature landing when I was low level.
It is always best practice to power up Ardupilot with the Aircraft Level in Pitch and Roll.....Switch Modes and adjust servos in Manual, Stab and FBWx ensuring servos are neutral at each mode change without movement. Also ensure that you wait long enough for full 3D GPS Fix prior to Flight...Always , trim in manual then perform AutoTune procedure in Pitch, Roll and Yaw......Add Pitot/ Static for optimal stability and performance. Once tuned, just level, boot wait for Beeps, verify controls then wait for 3D GPS before launch ......Good Luck, Enjoy
Thanks for the tips RYBAT
Excellent review Andrew.
Thank you kindly!
@@AndrewNewton I am not able to get ESC telemetry, because of which I am not able to get voltage and current.
Please help

Nice one😍👌👍
*Unbelievable timing!* I just finished my first Ardupilot build last weekend and put it on (of all things) an AXON! 🤣🤣🤣 using an old $13 Omnibus F4 Pro. It is SO COOL!
One of my toughest challenges was getting those 6 modes on 1 switch (I used weights and logical switches, basically) and I looked to my old friend Andrew's channel (cuz I was sure he had done it at one point, but ....GOOSE EGG! 😂). Another cool thing about the ardupilot setup is I put some telemetry radios on it so I can execute waypoint missions and watch it live on the Laptop in the field. You HAVE to try that - it's a kick! (and the telemetry radios are really cheap). I am just delighted with it.
Oh and btw, Amber will indeed say FBWA, FBWB, Auto-Mode, Loiter, etc (pretty much every ardupilot mode) but I'm sure you knew that.
As usual, absolutely love your work Andrew, and don't forget - I'm still planning to move to Australia someday and live in your shed ! 😊
Aha, I probably deleted the Ardupilot related tracks from my Amber pack ages ago.
I'm happy still seeing analog fpv!!!!! 😁😁😁
Welcome to the other side!
you can set the OSD visually using a GUI in mission planner, you just haven't found it yet,
Now you have tried the best you wont wanna run anything else on your craft once you get the hang of the config.....it blows everything else out the water.
I'd have to buy a PC first
@@AndrewNewton Looks like there's a phone version in development, so you may not have to.
@@AndrewNewton oh, I just assumed you had one, the cheapest of laptops, like a 15 year old one would be more than good enough for rc model Configs on all the platforms but nothing beats a desktop and although I have 3 decent laptops here, I never touch them unless I need to be mobile, my 3 display desktop allowance me to have soooooo many different things on the go at the same time :)
Great video.
Does anyone know if it works with the DJI FPV Air Unit?
We all knew you would like it. I always struggle with setup, well until I copy a super user's parameter file. The Yappu LUA script plus Smartport make my T16 pro a ground station, even displaying live google map info, well when I get around to following the tutorials. Yappu is easy, the map stuff is more involved.
Oh yes, that would be cool
Some nice attributes for sure... I would have thought the Ranger G2 would have had a plastic fuse like her siblings.
on all my matek 405s Best thing for long rang FPV
Andrew, great video and good to see some ardupilot. I use it for a couple of planes and it's fantastic, particularly after an autotune. The OSD is able to be modified visually in mission planner btw.
Mission Planner - PC only
@@AndrewNewton of course... Apologies
@@StuGuru No need to apologise, you should be mocking me for not having a PC.
@@AndrewNewton 😊
looks like @4:45 the reason your trim is like that potentially due to FC not being level if you look at your osd vs the horizon it's off at an angle
Second take off it was level. More to learn
I have been using a slider for mode selection, with either QGC or MP as the GS and LTE/UAVcast-Pro/RPi0W for the MAVLINK/FPV/long range. Main disadvantage is having to cycle through modes... So far, it's all on the bench. Any opinions re using a proportional slider or knob? (I rely on the GS talking to me).
I have similar setup to you an and I just use one switch to change from fbw to take off then I switch to rtl so I can look away while I swap over to flying from laptop, then I change modes from MP and fly fbw using transmitter through USB dongle.
Old school FT t-shirt. Nice.
I have the original too, but I dont want to wear that one out
Watching the TX cam and data display and your is in 16x9 widescreen. I am using Runcam Eagle 2 with Matek video TX streaming to a Freeworld monitor/recorder. Live display is in widescreen but Freeworld recording is in 4:3. Tried all the settings to no avail.
My Commander goggles record in 3:2 aspect ratio, so I stretch it out to 16:9 in editing. The Eachine screen I recently review has the best DVR with all aspect ratios.
@@AndrewNewton I wondered if you had post edited it. When I create my videos I try to avoid too much re-muxing, etc so I thought you had found the ideal DVR. Cheers
If it's any consolation my attempt to switch from MissionPlanner to QGroundControl made things too difficult to bother with, so well done I say. I like that there is a multi-platform alternative in the works, but so much work has gone into MP that making an equivalent is a pretty long road yet.
btw I don't think you should be trimming anything in your radio at all. Just leave all the trims in the center, because that's your input to the flight controller (ie. if roll trim is non-center then auto-level will not be level, acro will constantly roll etc). As long as you calibrated the accelerometer the plane knows when it's level, if the GPS and baro are working it knows when it's climbing etc., so no trimming should be necessary. This likely means you'll not be able to fly hands-off in manual mode, but I mean, it is manual after all.
My trimming was purely pushrod length adjustment, I actually disable radio trims for INAV and Ardupilot. My Manual was way off for some reason. More testing required, which is the fun part for me.

Chris, it's so awesome to be commenting on Andrew's video and see you here! You guys are my absolute all time favs and you inspire the heck out of me. That brain of yours is just amazing. (BTW, your most recent homeslice has me craving a corn-dog for some reason 🤣🤣🤣) Just kidding man, it's absolutely gorgeous. Well done as usual.
How you config qx7 to had multiple sound and mode with 2 switch only?
Using Logical switches. Too complicated to explain here, I need to do a video
I've been having a bunch of trouble getting my H743 to detect my SBUS signal. I have the SBUS signal going to the RX6 pad like Matek says to do, and configured it as they say as well. The radio calibration in Mission Planner never shows any pulses. I have verified my setup is correct using betaflight, where everything works well. Did you have this problem?
Probably have to choose the SBUS port in the setup somehow. I cant recall how just now.
Ben open full parameter list and type serial 6, then make sure Its on sbus! What receiver are you using?
@@kevintorevell2406 I believe I've got it figured out now! Turns out I had the wrong drivers installed on my computer and it was messing up thr connection to the matek. I got it programmed up and had the first flight today!!!
Setting up modes seems confusing. Is it easier on inav?
I only use INAV so I would say yes
sir i have matek h743v2wing,this problem arduplane v.4.3. arming ?
I don't use Ardu stuff sorry. Only this video
You can have more than one switch for mode change. You can have one channel for mode change and add a couple of more to switch to specific channel (RCx_option). Much better to use TX16s with 6 chicken legs for 6 flight modes
Aha! Thanks for that
Hlo sir how do we connect FrskyX8R smartport telemetry with MatekF765 in arduplane mission planner
Not my area of expertise
Hello my friend,
Any idea what's going wrong with my h743 wing fc?
Issue: Com port detected but now I can't connect to mission planner, already connected before but I can't understand why I can't do that now, so tired.
Hope you will help with one suggestion.
Thank you
Sorry, no idea. I'm using a Mac which doesn't use COM ports
@@AndrewNewton OK, no problem.
Any possibility to get a bricked board?
@@AndrewNewton Can you tell me which ardupilot version are you using?
Which receiver are you using? sbus?
You can also Install mission planner on a android phone or tablet
QGroundControl too, might have to revisit it
Which software the simplest INav or Ardupilot (for a simple setup, only need RTH, Stab, and Manual)?
Do you prefer Matek H743-Wing or other FC, if so why? Matek has a big product stack, and I am kinda confused about which one to get.
Cheers
Nik
for simplest setup check Zohd Kopilot
@@pinlock4331 In retrospect, the Ardupilot Mega with Ardupilot was not that difficult to set up (Quadcopter 450mm), I know the ZOHD from Andrew's videos but I think its too limited for me.
I think I am going to buy an FC with a Built-in regulator (Not sure which one) for one of my planes (probably the ASW28) and run Ardupilot since I already have a little bit of experience with that software.
For your ASW get the F405 Wing, price has come down and it has all you need. Works even on my ASW with INAV ( more or less, rudder !!!!) Don´t get a 722, it will block you from Ardupilot.....
Matek board with ardupilot firmware might the simplest board for the build. Spend some times with mission planner and wont regret it. I once used both ardupilot and inav but end up with only ardupilot for its features and stability.
Andrew don’t use FBW-B. Use cruise instead or FBW-A. Nice to hear the Pixhawk sounds again. Stabilise mode is fighting the autopilot. I only ever used FBW-A, AUTO and Manual. Had RTH on another switch. Also if you hit AUTO without a mission loaded it will just default to RTH.
Mission Planner works fine on a VM on my Mac. VirtualBox is free and works well.
Thanks for the tips! Stabilise seems to be manual with self levelling?
@@AndrewNewton Seems like it's a very weak auto-level
ardupilot.org/plane/docs/stabilize-mode.html
Thanks Chris.
How do you calibrate current sensor in arduplane?
Place an ammeter in series with the battery and the plane, spin up the motor and compare the measured value with the value shown in Mission Planner, and adjust the "Amperes per volt" value as necessary.
ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-power-module-configuration-in-mission-planner.html
iforce2d thank you
Do you prefer inav or ardupilot for small rc aircraft?
I only understand INAV really, this was the only time I used Ardupilot
@@AndrewNewton Got it. How was the stick input in manual mode? Do you feel like you could do all of the maneuvers you normally would with ardupilot?
@@publicname515 Oh yes, totally manual, same as no FCB
To Make custom sounds in open TX such as FBWA try www.open-tx.org/2014/03/15/opentx-speaker . It's not amber but I use it for anything that is missing. Whoops just noticed it is windows only.
I found it much easier to use LUA scripts (like Yaapu), which announce the modes (including FBWA etc.) automatically from SmartPort telemetry and also show a ton of other interesting information. Doesn't work on Crossfire yet unfortunately.
Tuen on servo auto trim, and then do a autotune, It makes such a difference mate
Yes I'm are they would. Haven't really cracked the surface yet
Amber sounded like my wife at 5:42 telling me which way i should turn on a busy highway lol I like Ardupilot for the choices it gives you but not crazy about there use of switches
Great Job Sir Andrew take care
It took a while but it suddenly made sense, at least the basics
How longrange sir?
Depends on the receiver. This one maybe 1.5km
Good video my friend, subed.
I'm starting on ardupilot with h743.
Any possibility to share your parameters file, not to copy, just to get a start point and see what I'm doing wrong 😉👍
Best regards

Make sure they are connected to the correct voltage and turn on osd in Ardupilot / INAV
@@AndrewNewton voltage for eachine vtx sir? I using 5 volt for vtx. For matek using 4 cell lipo battery
I've been on ardupilot for a few years and find Mission Planner much better for initial setup than QGC. You can install windows on your mac using bootcamp and then use MP. Ardupilot is less user friendly than iNav, that's for sure.
Windows on my Mac? I'd buy a cheap laptop before doing that.
@@AndrewNewton bootcamp is a separate partition so you still have your normal mac, you can just reboot into a windows environment. It's a cheap way to get mission planner going on a mac.
Looks like your board alignment is off on roll when you are watching on the artificial horizon. Maybe the reason your trim was odd
To be investigated, I'll swap to a different plane
Or just redo a simple level Accel. calibration with wings level.
In rtl i forgot to change alt . And it takes 100m in populated wifi area, and i lost link to a plane , it loiter for 46min and then battery dia.then it crashes. Its horrible, so please check all value before fly.
Its flysky transmitter. If frsky it doesn't happen.
You don't need all those modes, manual, FBWA and autotune are enough for now. Just got to the QGC bit, Mission Planner is coming to Android soon, better to set up aircraft in MP and use autotune to nail the PIDs.
MP coming to Android, really? Great news!
I want to try this but im scared (
Be brave, it's like magic when it works
@@AndrewNewton I need magic !
I got a digital air speed and a 743 v2..12 hours later cant get speed with blow test ..wonder if it needs flight power..the lipo pluged in
Now I remember why I dumped Arduplane, the Flight Mode switching was hilarious TBH...wtf?....As I said, wading through treacle...I know it works great, but considering it was around years before iNAV, why does it have all these Elephants in the room...That blocky OSD text too ..you can't change it?
...but the RTH circle was much nicer than that what you would have got from INAV.
@@amax2624 Maybe, but I can live with it TBH..
Actually you don't have to do the complicated 2-switch flight mode switch setup. a) If you only need 3 modes, you can just enter each of them twice in Flight Modes and use a single 3-way switch. b) You can put flight modes on channels/switches directly using RCn_OPTION (n=channel), for example RTL. / OSD font can be changed, yes.
and this is how I learn cool new stuff. Many thanks
@@AndrewNewton It's a pleasure, I was a complete AP newbie too not long ago.
Don't use trims! You should have levelled the plane before powering up, your IMU calibration is out.
Also, if you used Windows (I know...) and Mission Planner you'd be able to set the OSD via the GUI.
It was only mechanical pushrod length adjustment, I actually disable radio trims for INAV and Ardupilot
@@AndrewNewton Ah, I noticed your artificial horizon was not level in the first flight and thought that was related.
@@richardhallyburton I think, you are right, the AH line is off calibration and the reason being, IMO, that the system was powered on, while not being level. There may be a mechanical misalignment in the aileron set up, but the problem with miscalibrated gyro is still there as well.
You can hear, at around 4:35, Andrew says "tilts to the left for some reason", while autopilot tries to level the plane to a wrong (tilted to the left) AH line.
@@SQSNSQ No need to have it level when powering on. Just let it sit still for a while so the gyro can calibrate.
I love iNav but I would like to learn Ardupilot. It is very difficult compared to iNav from what I hear. Daniel Riley from @rctestflight is an avid user of ardupilot. I'd like to see him do a complete tutorial on ardupilot. Check him out Andrew. Mr. Lee from @painless360 has a bunch of videos on ardupilot also.
Yes I do follow both of them. I'd say they are both equal, just different. INAV interface is more user friendly.
To me its funny to have all that telemetry stuff and electronics but only a few minutes of flight time 🤣🤣. I’m building a gas powered fix wing with 2h fly time possibly more depending on my gliding performance
2 min flight time would be pointless. Easy to get 1 hr with no gliding using 18650s
@@AndrewNewton okay that’s what I’m talking about, 1h is phenomenal :)
Thank you for getting intelligent and removing your mask when there is no threat near by !
