Setting up INAV 7 Autonomous missions - and flying them without any FPV!

- Here I've built an autonomous waypoint wing with a Baby AR Pro.
Video covers the INAV settings, build overview and some on-board recording of the flight. - Věda a technologie
Amazing! Thank you for showing us how it is done. Good Luck on your fine tuning.
really clean build. Love the antenna placement.
Thanks mate. All in the name of efficiency!
Oh wow awesome explanation and setup on how to mission plan, cannot wait to try this out on the T2 Cruza, thanks for sharing!
did you try it yet?
Nice job, 45mah per km is amazing, even though it is a tiny plane. Shame about the pitch bobbing, but this is what they do IMO. I've always thought way pointing was an obvious way to fly missions. A bit unnerving though without a video link to keep tabs on it while you at least test it...🤔😳😳😀 Thanks for the demo, good job....👍
Thanks mate, I can hopefully improve the bobbing with a better tune, but it'll never be perfect, I'll forgive some bobbing that for the awesome efficiency rate though.
The new setup with the terrain overview in INAV makes it so much more rewarding as you can hug the ground more (if you're feeling brave)
Love this thanks! I want to try this , this summer .
Good work mate!
Thanks man! I'll have to send him over your direction one day!
Hi, thanks for the video, would you be able to show the steps to load the mission and execute the mission, that the steps I'm struggling with. Thanks again.
Hi mate, Sorry I should have included that - If you look at Darren's video here it explains it all - In-fact you should watch his whole video as he explains the waypoints in a lot more detail than I have - czcams.com/video/5TFfkJmNmhY/video.htmlfeature=shared&t=721
have you ever managed to solve the problem of transitioning from Autolaunch to WP Mission? all the rest works fully autonomous except that transition which makes it impossible to fly a complete mission without stick input. in my view a big bug in inav!
It is a shame it doesn't work that way with INAV currently. I wonder if it's possible to achieve this with logical switches in INAV or with special functions in Edge TX (i.e 10 seconds after arming the channel output for WP is triggered?)
@@Crunklefloop i'm sure there would be some workarounds like you suggest. nevertheless that's ugly. you can select almost any mode "after AL" except the WP mission which totally makes no sense to me. must be some dev regarding this as "not safe".. interresting though that RTH works flawlessly. so you can launch, return home and land completely autonomous but you can't launch and automatically fly a WP mission.. i just don't get that
@@stuweFPV Completely agree. I'll chat with Darren and see if there's something that can be changed.
@@Crunklefloop sounds good! if hes already on it, they should finally introduce a 2-phase AL sequence where you can change angle and power but still in AL mode (like real planes do) instead of 20 different ways of RTH :) cheers bro!
@@stuweFPV So like having a manual power and pitch override when still in AL mode?
9:27 can the shaking also be related to nav_fw_wp_tracking_accuracy
but I don't think so because default value is 0 which means disable. but what does disable mean? because obviously it needs some accuracy in tracking waypoints.
The shaking was largely down to the PIFFs being untuned. After I'd tuned it, it was much smoothe (well as smooth as a 600mm wing can get)
Does the lack of FPV have a bearing on the fact that the craft is out of sight,
In both cases, you'd be flying BVLOS, so to stay above-board, one would want to be familiar with their local rules and regs.
Waypoint missions are on the more advanced side of the hobby though so I would have thought anyone flying this would be familar with the rules and made their decisions accordingly. :-)
Last way point is Auto Landing?
On this flight it wasn't. After the last waypoint it just goes into RTH and loiters overhead.
I have just installed a lidar though and flashed the INAV 7 test firmware which includes intelligent auto-landing. I was hoping to have tested that this weekend however I've had so much rain lately it's not been possible. As soon as I've tested it though, I'll upload the video.
@@Crunklefloop This is good to hear.. Building my first wing AR pro and going to put lidar in if i find a good mounting point. Like you I hope to throw it and forget it
How do u load it to fc
Good point, to save the mission to your flight controller you need to click the Save to Eprom.
You'll also need to make sure you have Nav-WP set as one of your flight modes and don't forget to load the mission before arming using the Load Mission stick command.
@@Crunklefloop or "set nav_wp_load_on_boot = on" in that case the active mission is always loaded without using stick commands weather you use it on that flight or not :)
That works too!
have you tried making the video any quieter? cant hear a word you are saying mate
Yeah sorry about that. The mic wasn't working well. Captions should work though.
