Finally!!! Thank you Drone Mesh for getting out of your comfort zone (AKA building videos) and doing setup/software videos. Like I already said, you have a way to explain things that Mr Average Joe will grasp. Thanks a lot again and keep them coming. :-)
Thank you. Best video finally after 4 days of struggling and research.
Watched a lot of videos on this subject so I can build a race drone and this has given me the greatest overall understanding of them all
Downliad AskFPV if you need help in the future :)
the best vid explaining fc controls on here,all others are so crapy.thanx so much for this video,helped me a lot more than you can imagine.
the easy way to tell the real SP racing F3 boards from the fakes is the real one say cleanflight on them and have the cleanflight logo. The fakes say SP racing F3 V1 right above the motor signals hope this helps people know the difference.
i am totally new to this and electronics is my weak point. Thank you for taking it slow and helping me understand how this relates to the betaflight and what each connection do.
Thank you very mutch!!! I finally solved my problem, with my receiver!! :D
Glad I was able to help ^_^
the best spf3 tutorial for dummies. you made my transition from buggies to drones much easier. thanks
Can't say thank you enough, it seems very basic but before I found this video I still had a lot of questions about the FC inputs/outputs ect. THANKS!
Just wanted to say thanku for your explanations. Great! I learnt a few things. 1) Bridging + & + etc won't (from what you said) cause problems between motors. Buzzer port, voltage feature etc! I have a FS-iA6B Flysky receiver module. Should I use the UART 3 or the white port on left to hook up the receiver. I'm assuming these are different modes of communicating with the receiver. Sbus vs PPM...is that correct? If you or others could assist me and have time to explain how best to connect the FSiA6B to this board this would be seriously appreciated. Thanks again for the time taken to explain some of the features on the board. Love to see a full rundown of ways of setting up various receivers to this FCtrl. Awesome work thanks again for the video.
Thanks very much made me understand.
You remind. Me of the person that hooked me to this hobby by the way he explained things! Jc! R.I.P! KEEP UP THE VIDS BRO AS ill soon hook up a patron account!👌👌👌👌👏
I know this video is almost a year old. but very helpful. I have a question on the buzzer.. what are the pads on either side of the buzzer holes? I soldered my buzzer to them instead of the holes and it doesnt work.
11 min - but how do you power the board...
From one of the red wire's from one of the motor ESC's.
If you have a power distribution board and opto ESC's you'll have a 5v out on PDC, in which case you could wire up a red and black wire to one of the + and - of the 8 channels (not the s) pin.
Just take from the 12 v battery to 5 ⎷ converter... and rest of the wires to individual esc. So you have 12 V for motors and rest of the board 5 V. And don’t need distribution board.
@@AndyDeiu hey thats good, but can I use a 4in1 esc with this?
Planning on buying this for my first build.. please eli5 how to power the Fc
Thank you very much but why u don't add barometer and magnetonometer by soldering them on board as I did
Thanks man! That simple point on toggling on Serial RX but not switching on the UART saved me!
This was extremely helpful all the way to the end, where I’m still not sure, from this explanation, on how to hook a buzzer for vbat LV warning. Am I soldering a connection fron Vabt to the buzzer? Never explained. Not a complaint, as I do appreciate what is here, very helpful!
Thank you so much for making this setup so easy to understand and especially for pointing out the FC board orientation. 👍👍
I subscribed to your channel in the first 47 seconds of the first video I've ever seen from you! Haha "..and watch people make it super complicated when it's really not" !!!
I am using FS ct6b transmitter and FS r6b receiver when I save as pwm it changes to ppm and I am not able to fly my drone so help please it is my one year hardwork
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to explain how everything works, cleared things up for me. Keep them coming. 👍
I know eventually you've got to tune your pic but yiy can hook this fc up without programing can't you?
Thnaks for the simplified version of setup. Appdreciate it.
Thank you so much!! Super helpful subbed
Thanks man for this kind video, this pretty much puts the puzzle together!
10:58 so bud I’m sorry to be bearer of bad news but it does destroy the pads when you rip them off making it never be accepting of that plug port again
Thanks mate been looking for a video to connect my sbus to this fc. I had an idea but wanted to confirm. Seems to be the same as my old f1 board!
Can I use uart1 pads for either sbus or sport telemetry, even though it is used for the usb connection? If I use uart1 for sport, would it still connect normally to betaflight?
I use the I/O1 or the I/O2 Ports on the side's for connection to the radio RX/TX as per instructions in the manual. You have to be careful when using the the two UART headers with the radio TX/RX modes. The manual can be found here... www.seriouslypro.com/files/SPRacingF3-Manual-latest.pdf
One of the most informative videos on youtube, glad I dropped by. :-)
Thanks, you really helped me understand the SP F3
This makes sense! !! Thank You I've been beating my head on the wall!
Great video and easy to understand. I do have a question though, where does the input (power from the pdb) go to? Is that what the VBAT terminal is for?
Wow thanks! I just subbed! This video was a great help getting my board setup properly.
Can you pls make a video to how to setup sfp3 acro with xsr and setup in software
Hey, thank you for this Video.
I have just one question left.
Does somebody know how I integrate telemetry data on my FPV-Googles? For example how do i connect GPS or Batteryvolltage to the FC, so it will be showen on on my googles?
you should also add that you need both vbatt and 5volts as it wont power motors without vbatt correct me if im wrong tho cheers for the content keep it up cheers
Cant save cc3d configuration...what to do
So clear..good job
Is there a video showing how to hookup the receiver?
Can i supply power using 5 volts from a pdb instead of using the vbat pins?
clarence soh teak Vbat is actually for battery monitoring, it takes the full power from the battery and measures it. You can use the settings in beta flight to set the the max and min voltages so that the buzzer sounds on low voltage. To power the FC from the pdb yes you can use the 5v source but you'd plug it into any + & - points near the motor signal points, these are located where you hook up the ESC signal wires labeled 1 through 8. The square points are for signal and the rounds are positive and negative like he spoke of early in the video here 1:08
I'll give it a try thanks
I have a problem with this f3 FC. Is doesn't arm. Is said runaway takeoff. Do you know what's wrong ?
Please do a tutorial on PPM connections or show me in anyway
damn the flight controller right on the shadow huh wow
You just saved me hours of frustration. A+++ 🏆🙏
Hey you fixed my problem😭😭😭 thankyou so much
Hey mate, great video. I'm a newbie to this quad building. I have wired my 4 in 1 ESC up to flight controller via 4 wires & to the signal ports 1,2,3 &4 on my flight controller. I run everything through cleanflight & everything works, transmitter, motors run etc. Have connected receiver up via PWM. The problem I have is, when I turn the transmitter on to arm, the CPU jumps to 100%, therefore cannot arm the quad. Is there something I'm missing? Any info would be much appreciated, Thanks
Nice video! I am trying to solder a serial spectrum satellite to this board.. is there 3.3v on this?
Brilliant video thanks what's the io ports you didn't mention them
Sir..pls suggest me how to configure altitude hold function on this board and what would be supported hardware...
Thank you for the video! Very good info man, thank you!
Great video! Can u explain where to place ws2812 led's and configure in Betaflight. Sure would like to know.
Yes that was the next video of mine.. Will try to have it out by tomorrow.
Thy for this maunal. Verry help me :)
I wish there had been wires in the video. WHERE DO I ACTUALLY PUT THE WIRES TO MAKE IT WORK?
Tank you!! this video help me alot.
Thanks broo. You save me.
This really helped me a lot. thanks drone mesh..
Have you prepared a video to show how to connect telemetry to the spf3 board? That's my biggest issue.
Could have been a little more lighting but other than that great edu
Please I need help when I connect it to beta flight it simply statesNon - Cleanflight/Betaflight firmware is not supported, except for CLI mode. Can somebody please help?Desperate person here in need of help.
same problem here...
You have to upgrade the firmware of your flight controller.
yes you have to solder the boot pads then plug it in to beta flight, it will be in duf mode, just flash the new firmware for your board then undo boot pads n plug back in, good luck.
boot
Great video.
Do you have any idea where to connect the Video In and Video Out wires, to be able to use the built-in OSD?
Thanks
Poker2145 there is no OSD on this board.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! THIS WAS SO HELPFUL
check my latest flight controller video to get more info
I've got 2 questions.
1: DoesThis flight controller got it own BEC on board, can i supply power straight from pdb without BEC (4S lipo)
2: will it fry when i power it with 6V ?
Do you know what signalings the red LED? I have some problems with my drone :/
Hi
I want to use for airplane.
I configure it but my servos don't move. If I connect to cleanfligth and go to motor tab. I can see servo signal changing wen I tilth the board. But actual servo is not moving.
Great video lesson, thank you!
I keep trying to plug in the flight controller to my computer with the drone setup from another video, but my computer that runs windows 10, will not recognize it. Do you know what the issue is?
Hello.
I'm a noob on this things. I want to build a drone not for racing but to do simple things such as altitude hold things, maybe add a gimbal and camera, probably a vtx and ccd camera to fly far. it should have a gps also, maybe use mission planner or similar. So my question is, are these f3 or maybe the f4 FC's good for that purpose? The F3 it must be the deluxe version or acro will do? will i use betaflight or other software? thanks in advance
@Drone Mesh This may sound like a stupid question, but Im going to build my first quad. I have a Futaba T8J with a gimbal centering kit on. Do I have to change any setting on ether the flight controller or the remoter being that the throttle automatically centers?
P.S. How would I set up the quad to the arm button as the DJI CSC to arm.
Thanks for this but you did not mention how and where to connect the VTX :( That`s what I am trying to figure ...
Cool I'll be looking for it and thanks for doing these.
I know I'm jumping ahead again but I installed a discovery "buzzer" to the buzzer contacts. Configured it in Betaflight and It comes on with the assigned switch, BUT! It also comes on with the arm switch when I arm the motors. Nothing overlapping it my mode settings yet the buzzer activates with both switches. Some videos say those buzzer contacts r for low battery alarm. Don't know how many or how far u intend to take this series, but If u have time, it would be great if you could clear this up. Thanks.
Open CLI tab and copy paste these 2 commands
##############
beeper -ARMED
save
##############
Then test again I think that will fix your problem if your battery is charged
Hi Drone Mesh, Sorry if I'm overlooking the obvious but after putting in the command I don't see a "save" button. Am I understanding your instructions?
how to add OSD on this FC ??? from where and how can i configure it
Can't thank you enough for this vid....👍👍
all right there my friend watch your videos all the time and they r very interesting but I have a problem with my vebat I had dun what u said but it said on beta flight that it did not have 1 so I tried to look to see if it had the current chip but all the bords look the same can u explain way please I am going off my nut trying to figure it out thanks sp f3
I need help for setting up spracing3 for bicopter
Does the F3-Flight-Controller support OSD of radio strength and battery, out of the box? If so, how do you wire camera and transmitter to achieve this?
how do you power it ive been trying for awile to get it to work but it wont power up when i plug the usb in it powers up but it wont any other time im building a martian II with the pdb it comes with can anyone please help me
Very helpful thank you Mesh.
I followed your instructions and everything works but I do not have any OSD in my goggles. What did I miss?
This doesnt have OSD
thanks for helping!!!
thanks buddy!
My board is never recognized by betaflight. Betaflight keeps closing the serial port after ten seconds, and I can never get the board connected. Please tell me if you have a fix!
What are the plugs on the side for??
Brilliant video mate do you directly solder to the pads or use the pins I am finding the pins a night mare to solder
Ryan Maynard Direct solder.
Drone Mesh thanks for getting back so soon some people on other channels are way to important to help there views out top marks
I try to answer everyone when i can but its becoming more difficult. Every once in a while I try to go through all the comments and help as much as possible. :)
Very informative! Thanks!
Helped a lot keep up the good work :)
can i put mising ic magnet compas on this boad? is work or not?
this helped so much, Thanks!!!!!
Are there any chances that you can make a video how to make smart audio vtx works with this fc ?
god dammit this video is sooo helpfulllllll! Thanks a lot ! I finally understand Uarts
FYI... God's last name is not "dammit". Got it??? 🤨
@@graywoulf lol
Hey man do you know of any good proven 20x20 boards like this one that’s ready for GPS ?
Thanks! much appreaciated.
I bought the F3 flight controller Deluxe 10 DOF for multirotor racing. There are trouble shooting codes coming on there are 4 long red lights then a bunch of fast one could you tell me what’s wrong please!
Where would you hook up your VTX and camera?
im making my own receiver with an Arduino and an NRF24L01 radio module, this is ppm right? so then i should leave the receiver mode on PPM RX input right?
drone i have a rxsr going to a spracing f3 on a x220 wizard , would you hook it up through the io2 or just uart 3? i set it up for fport but rx was not working on betaflight 3.3 in the receiver tab. and of course you find conflicting reasons why and what is the reason for that to happen. so i was going to skip fport and just get flying but my rsxr is toast . second time i tried to bind after firmware update the fs button ( pad ) fell off so i ordered another.
How do you setup your vtx and cam with a board like this? I see no vtx or solder point on board. Shouldn't there be a video in and out.
Ola amigo estou querendo saber se tem como realizar retorn to home com essa controladora? se ela tem barômetro e como ativar a função!
hi i am in 2019 and i have a real acc gx210 from a friend which has a sp racing f3 board. when i connected in betaflight i can only get CLI. how do i flash the latest firmware. need some help on this can u please guide me.
very helpfull !!! Thank you very much
