INAV Configurator 8 will have a new function. A Groundstation mode dedicated to tracking position and state of your UAV on a map and displaying basic telemetry. It’s already available in the development build and so far supports the LTM telemetry protocol. If you have a transparent serial wireless link, you can use it no problem.
The second topic is tightly connected with the telemetry downlink and it’s a Express LRS Airport function. It’s a transparent wireless serial link done with Express LRS compatible hardware. For all the frequencies: 2.4GHz, 900MHz and 433MHz. It works, but has some problems like slow speed and issues with stability. I hope Express LRS guys will improve it in next releases as it might be a quite interesting product for everyone who needs a telemetry radio link.

Early days - but exciting news for INAV.
Interesting developments. Good to see INAV moving into new areas... Well done to the deveelopment team.
Great Pawel! I use Stonnag/MWPTools as a ground station with telemetry from my TX16S, using a single receiver. I output the data via the UART from the transmitter using an ESP32-C3 mini over WiFi to a Linux mini PC.
Do you have any build link or something more about your build? Thank you.
@@Alen.88 I have the feeling that my comments are being deleted.
@@micrathenefpv yes.
BTW micrathenefpv, have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest viewing the 13 part series _what on earth happened_ in my about to learn how the earth is not a globe
@@flat-earther What? No, thank you. I'm an engineer and I don't want to appear ignorant.
@@micrathenefpv okay, I suggest watching the series to learn stuff you may have not heard before.
This is exciting!
Very cool stuff! This coming year I intend to focus more on long range.
Great stuff!!!!
oh wow nice.
i’m pretty looking forward to that👍🏼✈️
Hope you like it!
Great Stuff 💪🏻
Thank you 🙌
Nice, should be an awesome feature. I was reading ELRS notes and wanted to explore the sentinel antenna tracker using the telemetry out through backpack mode😮
do you already have an antenna tracker?
@@flat-earther not yet but was thinking for ordering it.
@@Gray_Wolf33 I want a tracker too but no ready made one has all the features I want that's why I plan to build one with a slip ring for continuous rotation but I'm not sure what firmware I will use.
I want to have continuous rotation feature, GPS and mag on the tracker so it can work on moving platform.
I think the only options for firmware are ardupilot tracker but for that I would need another telemetry link for mavlink,
I use ELRS, so I wish I could somehow forward my CRSF telemetry coordinates to the tracker but that may not be possible with ardupilot tracker.
another future firmware could be ELRS backpack tracker that is being developed, it's great that it supports using CRSF telemetry so I don't need to use an additional telemetry link, but it doesn't support continuous rotation, GPS or mag at this point,
ardupilot tracker supports all the features I want, I just hope there's a way to forward my ELRS telemetry coordinates to the tracker so I don't need an additional telemetry link for it..
We would be greatly appreciative if you had the option to control the plane from the ground station. You may Think it’s a duplication, but I’m thinking safety. Give us the opportunity for two way Telemetry and the ability to control the aircraft so we have a redundant system on control. Had a number of incident where my primary telemetry failed and I had no back up. This would prevent flyaways. You could even provide provision for a small back up battery with just enough time to get home. Please!
Hey Pawel, I see you start looking at the ground stations and Automated antenna TRacker (AAT), if with VTX it is more or less clear, you can get for example Walksnail External VTX unit and place it on AAT, it is not clear how to handle ELRS? How to send from remote controller your moves to the ground station and make it re-transmit using AAT and directional antennas ?
For example in on the radio with ELRS 2.4 - connect to AAT adjusted receiver, which works like re-broadcast to another ELRS module which works at 900 and connect to aircraft trough directional antenna?
That sounds sweet! Thanks, Pawel! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Looks really promising. Would like to hear what electronics we should get to make this work
I'm planning a video on the topic. But in general any Express LRS TX and RX will do
Awesome. Look forward to that video. Would like a ground station with preprogrammed mission and also video transmitting to the laptop aswell
@@FPVUniversity even old hardware? Happymodel ES24TX first version?
when will you implement "Take off" function?
Interesting idea. What else do you got?
In production queue. It will take a few weeks
Hello friends, I have a fc speedybee f7 and there is an fpv camera socket with ground, 5v, cc and cam pins. can i use it for sensors with ground, 5v, rx and tx pins? Thank You
Why can’t you just connect your transmitter to the program and send the data from that to the inav ground station mode?
What is the point if i have to buy another set of rx/tx in that case i wpuld use crossfire mavlink. Is there a possibility it will be like crossfire mavlink?
For distance it makes more sense to use 900mhz for flight control and 2.4 for telemetry surely?
yes of course. Happy flying!
hello, can I use latest inav with older FC?
STM32 F1 and F3 are not supported, so you can't
Will this work with Crossfire?
At the moment only LTM is supported
Cześć Pavel, FC VYRIY f4(Ukrainskiy), co myślisz o tym? inav?
Crossfire Please :)
When is Inav going to support rc hot air balloons?
That's pretty cool but what about the Gemini system would you still have to run two separate receivers
Audio desync starting from 00:40
Fixed a few seconds later
So, Pavel, it could support moving airport arround?
Good one! I can sit here at the dining table with my launching pad on the veranda rails so that I can fly my quads out over the forest reserve and track it on my laptop. Sadly everybody around me has wifi just like us which is a problem that plagues my Mavic Air. Control is OK but as soon as the video signal breaks up the video stutters. It will be fun to see how the systems compare. Another thing to work on after I get Optical Flow working perfectly. Cheers.
"it's working, eh, Ok" pass
Uhh…. Why even bother with this when you have AP..
I don't know, why bother with beef when you have pork? Why bother with chicken if you have fish?
Airport, not thanks. mLRS is far superior.
nothing is perfect ;)
@@FPVUniversity very true. But one craps out at under 8km. Whereas the other is still going strong at 14 on the same hardware.
