So happy it's still helping people!

I'm surprised anyone still sees this video. LOL I'm happy it is still helping people!

I don't know about APM specifically, but usually you set it up either in flight controller or both... rarely (that I have seen) do you only set it up on the transmitter. So I would guess yes.. but you'd need to talk to someone who knows APM to do that part. I suggest rcgroups.com

@@MrSatoV ok thanks a lot

weto hold cancel for a couple seconds

What manuel?! Lol none of this shit comes with legitimate decent instructions. Its all mumbo jumbo bullshit and none of the hrs of videos ive watched got my quad off the work bench. Fuck flysky fsky fuck eachine fuk race drones fuck this hobby. Nothing and nobody helps the new guy. Fuck fpv fuck rotor riot..bunch a cock sucking nerds

Not mine

R/C 101 I believe that this is because of these new flysky micro recievers. I have been told that these recievers specifically have no failsafe function. I know not if the craft you mentioned uses the board I just know eachine has been using it. (ex: eachin qx90 qx95)

abghere chances are your receiver is PPM and the failsafe I have only managed to work on ibus

WTF? You are lost. Ch 5 and 6 are whatever switch or variator you choose. He chose SW C and SW D. Stop spreading crap info to the community.

It's Got Everything you put the bind plug in the last spot on right, put the transmitter in bind mode, then power the receiver and that should be it...

Thanks for the feedback. ;-) When I made this the TX was new and there were an increasing number of questions about it. Since I was able to get it working, I made a quick vid to help others. I'm not building a channel to solicit subscribers and try to make any income off of it. I never made a penny off of yt, and you can see why. LOL Over 44k views and only 80 subscribers, says it all.

I got a full RX and used that to bind. this is now standard process for me. Faster and easier. $10 for a full rx from lemonrx.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you had the ia6 receiver... If you get anything in the future I'd suggest immediately swapping out that receiver as it is a limited range receiver and replacing it with the ia6b receiver. The ia6 is rated something like 200-300 meters and the ia6b is rated around 1,500 meters.

+RC Flyer85 na I had bought the ia6b rx just to be able to use ppm so I wouldn't have a mess of wires but in an earlier crash it pulled an antenna loss I fixed evidently not as well as I thought

+George Posey Oh ok... well that really sucks. Yeah I don't even chance it with these... any little thing wrong with the antenna and I buy a new unit. Best of luck in the future.

+RC Flyer85 lol thanks yeah from now on that's what ill do myself its not like 30 rx its just a cheapo I'm looking into a taranis but ill be saving my change for a while on that one lol

George Posey baaahahaha sorry man that funnyy! Just thinking...... lol.. how many drones gotta be floatin in outter space cus of this? Dayyyng that would suck tho!

When it's out of range it doesn't matter where's the switches are as it's not talking to the transmitter anymore. Now after a fail safe you'll need all switches up to bind again so it wouldn't hurt to push the up.

+RC Flyer85 ok thanks!

From what I understand... the channels (in addition to throttle) can be programmed as desired... so when a failsafe condition is encountered, the RX will signal the FlightController to go into a desired MODE - depending on how you've setup your FC mode switching options (eg. channel 6 is used for auto-level or uber-wicked mode). Also, as I understand it, this seems a bit redundant since most (not all) FCs have their own Failsafe detection setups. Still, I appreciate the rundant nature since a fixed-wing craft isn't usually using a FlightController so for a flying wing or whatnot, you've got a failsafe!

Got that right. I used to play around with failsafe channel settings, but in the end, off turns out to be best because no matter what else you do that props can still spin on and after impact. Nothing beats flight controller based failsafe, to do things like return to home or even just swtiching to self level mode and reducing throttle to the point of slow decent, stopping once down to like a meter height. But like you said, fixed wing don't normally use flight controllers, so the better the failsafe on the RX the better they are for fixed wing.

I did... I stopped using those triblades. LOL Sounds stupid, but, yeah, they just caused too much draw. I'm sure there is a better way to "fix" it, but that worked for me. I never fly this thing anymore - too many issues. FETs burn, I hate MultiWii... in the end, I still have it, and soon will be replacing the FC and RX with an FC from FuriousFPV - soon to be released, which runs BetaFlight. And also going to Lemon DSMX sat RX. Should be really fun then. ;-)

Did you manage to get the fail safe to work on Mission Planner? As in, have you tested it on a quad yet? Because the Mission Planner fail safe dictates that you either need to set it to turn all channels off, or it needs to set the PWM value lower than the lowest on the TX, neither of which you can do using the above settings. If you have it working, would really appreciate it if you let me know how!

To know for sure, we'll need a photo of how your board is oriented, and a screenshot of your config page. Hit me up on Facebook. Search for BULLIT Drones, I'm Shawn Sato-Veillon.

Yes, that's the case for any race. Are you saying it doesn't? Failsafe for races means throttle cut - basically drone goes dead. Doesn't matter if you put throttle at zero/1000 all other channels to 50%/1500, or just all off, throttle cut off. Point is, if the drone is out of control heading for the spectators, you just need to kill it so the props don't add to the damage.

+Shawn Sato-Veillon basically I haven't been flying fpv long at all. I had looked online about a failsafe for the i-6 but couldn't find much. This is helpful as i have been approved to race for my local club and didn't really know how to set it up

+Jamie MacFarlane Yes, that's correct.

I didn't fix it directly. I blew the pdb, then flashed with latest betaflight and it was better. I still had to lower p from stock PIDs on yaw. she the now latest betaflight, it is fine on stock PIDs even. what FC and firmware are you running?

+Shawn Sato-Veillon (MrSatoV) I have the exact same problem, running Littlebee 30A ESCs, Emax RS2205 2300kv Motors and Lumenier Lux, every time I arm it the motors go crazy and I noticed that the front left and right back motors and esc's get very hot in a matter of seconds. Still haven't been able to fix it but I'm going to try and lower the p on the yaw like you said.

Found the problem, I took the nylon standoffs out and held the lux above the quad and pushed the throttle, everything went smooth, must be to do with vibrations.

+BanthonyFPV Strange! Although, if you don't have it directly connected to the frame, you're not getting all of the inputs from it. It's basically a yaw oscillation, which is generally caused by too high yaw P. By removing it, you aren't getting the yaw input to the FC, which it then doesn't over correct, etc. It kinda makes sense. Pretty sure you probably could have the same effect by just dropping P to 1. If you do that, you can slowly increase P until it starts to do it again, and then just lower it until it stops. Then you have max P. Sounds like a nice rig you have there!

Flysky sucks bro

cool! welcome to the addiction! lol

+thibaud mérigon It works by reading the stick input. While in edit mode, move the stick or swtich assigned to that channel and it will change the % based on that.

+Shawn Sato-Veillon (MrSatoV) Nothing assigned on ch5 & 6. So, need To do it before ?

+thibaud mérigon it is probably one of the knobs that you turn. Go into edit mode on that channel (in failsafe settings) and turn each knob to see if it changes.

+Shawn Sato-Veillon (MrSatoV) yeah it was the 2 little buttons on the top of the rc (vra, vrb) thank you very much, i'm safe, you're the boss !

+thibaud mérigon hahaha thanks ;-)

+Ahmed Gamal That's done in the firmware gui for the flight controller, not the TX. They go on the 3 position switch. It should be available in the gui by default, but you can also assign whatever switches/knobs you want to channels 5 and 6.

+Shawn Sato-Veillon (MrSatoV) i understand that :) but i am looking for some guidance on the flying modes to start from

+iforce2d I thought I replied to this already, but guess I forgot to click the final Reply before my PC crashed. LOL Anyway, Yeah, first when I saw it I thought it I didn't think much about it because it was the cheapest of it's kind. But in reality, it is quite good. I'm not sure which is better, this or FrSky (Taranis). I think the key to FrSky's success is just using known protocols instead of reinventing. FlySky didn't. Things are coming around though, and iBUS has been added to most flight controller firmware now - and as I've mentioned, the FS-iA6B (iBUS) RX has been unlocked (and I think maybe the TX too? have to check on that one) to support 10 channels in iBUS mode. This is same with Futaba - but Futaba never sold their RX with a software limitation on the number of channels in SBUS mode. They sell them as 3/17 or whatever. 3 ch via PWM/PPM and 18 via SBUS. Use whatever your TX is capable of. We don't really care if the manufacturer unlocks it someone in the community does, as long as we get it. XD I now also have a Turnigy 9XR Pro, which is more or less the same as the Taranis, and I have to say, the thing is a beast! I actually prefer the size of the FS-i6.

+Shawn Sato-Veillon (MrSatoV) This is the first tx I've had with a screen and menu etc, usually I use an arduino-based thing that could potentially have 32 channels, but so far I've only used 5 in practice, so the number of channels is less of a concern than the convenience of the trim settings etc. By the way, at what point is the receiver informed of the failsafe settings that were made on the transmitter? Are these values being continuously broadcast to the rx so that it knows what to do when signal is lost?

+iforce2d You make these settings while bound to the RX - this setting is per RX. So you have different models in memory, each with it's own RX, each can potentially have it's own and different settings. So, yeah, it's instant when you save it, and the RX remembers it. If you notice on your TX, it has a line that says ERR and a percentage. This is your signal strength meter. I have not found what the percentage is that is necessary for it to go into failsafe, but it definitely will tell you when things are getting dangerous - if you look at it. There inlies the problem. Of course, I've only flown something around the size of an American football field in distance, so I never felt there was a reason I might lose signal. Even FPV at that distance through some trees has been zero issue. So no need to look at it (and really couldn't anyway since I have fpv goggles on). I'm going to be hooking up minimOSD (micro) on my drone soon, and that will tell me via RSSI what my signal strength is. Who knows, maybe I'll find out how far the range is! The TX and RX (FS-iA6B) are both diversity. If you mount the RX antennas right, it would take a lot to lose signal. If you're just doing LOS, or FPV Racing and not long range stuff, I doubt you'll ever actually lose signal (except maybe flying through a building with concrete walls??). I have no way of testing it.

+killa games ch13!? Not sure which channel you meant, but throttle, yes, 0%. I put them all to 0%, as well as my flight mode switch on horizon/attitude mode, so that if it comes back before it crashes, it's easier to recover. I have a theory that if you put throttle at something like 30% and put flight mode to horizon/attitude that it would self-level and sort of "land" instead of just crash. I haven't tried it though.

Assuming you do coast easy to the ground, wouldn't having your throttle at 30% keep the props spinning on the ground, possibly causing more damage to the quad? Not only broken props, but also burnt up motors or a quad that is going berserk on the ground until you get in range to disarm?

Yes, and a better way to setup failsafe now is through betaflight, where two stage failsafe is possible. land then shut off.

I didn't know that was an option! All I saw was the "drop" failsafe and the "land"... I'll have to look more into failsafe setup in Betaflight

+MrSupercharger99 Sure, you just have to go into the setup on the TX, it asks for Aux Channels, you pick from them all across the top. Then you can pick in the FC firmware's gui (OP GCS, Cleanflight Configurator, etc.) which you want to assign to that.

+MrSupercharger99 To clarify, it's in the TX Menu under Functions Setup, Aux Channels.

+MrSupercharger99 yeah you have to go into channel assignment you set vrb to ch 1 or whatever you want

SWC is the 3 position switch. What flight controller and firmware are you using?

+Shawn Sato-Veillon (MrSatoV) all sorted out now thanks had a play with the radio and swapped it around.
