Thank you for the feedback. I've been thinking about a video with Ben showing a full flight from the planning in Mission Planner, preflight checks at the field, flying, downloading images afterwards and tagging them and creating a 3D terrain map using them.. would that be of interest?
Love all your videos. Pixhawk videos, and videos with Ben from 3DXR are specially helpful. This one came one weekend to late, it took me whole day to figure out Pitot and Pixhawk workings for Twin "Believer". Always wait for more. Thank you for all your work.
Hola ..te felicito por todos tus videos ,,son muy prácticos e intuitivo. Tengo una duda ...segun la WIKI y el amigo Ben al calibrar el pitot el parámetro ARSP_RATIO debe estar entre 1.5 y 3 . Al calibrar de forma automática mi Makeflyeasy BEliever como indica la Wiki siempre me calibra el parámetro antes mencionado a 4 y no hay ninguna falla en el sistema de mangueras ni de sensor ni del propio tubo . Uso un sensor digital I2C . Pudiera darme alguna recomendación al respecto sobre ese valor que calibra mi PITOT ..muchas gracias y un saludo
Hi.. how to setup on inav if we want the plane fly at certain speed, example if the plane will fly with ground speed / air speed at 45 m/h constantly. thank you for your help
VERY NOVICE . Over the past two years , With YOUR help I have upgraded my FRSKY x9d+ , Built several PX4 drones and apm fixed wings; "THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT TUTORALS. I need help if you have time. Building a Caipirianah with " hopfuly a 3dr pixhawk MINI . I have it close but unable to determine wither it will accept an Airspeed Sensor. Should you have any information it woul be much appreciated. Bruce
Lee, further to the comment about expensive crashes, how about profiling the cheapest reliable way to do FPV on a fixed wing plane? I am thinking if you just had a simple wing leveler autopilot (Hobbyeagle?) and simple gps with onscreen display which shows which way is home so you cant get lost (cheap VTX and GPS with onscreen display) along with a way to monitor battery voltage (telemetry?) you would have all needed without getting into the complexities of return to home, airspeed, etc. Can it be done for $50 or so?
iNav for me - see the latest iNav 2.1 series.. I'll also be looking at ArduPilot on cheap FC's next month too. See my video on the options from yesterday.. happy flying!
Do you have the parameter settings for a Buffalo FX79 by any chance? We have been building these in my drone class for fixed wing along with the full-size Talon. I've seen far too many planes crash, fly off, or land in trees and are unretrievable. The worst was a full power dive from high altitude with a complete loss of control due to some bug in the setup or hardware. We have anywhere from $1500 to over $2000 in our planes and to lose one is quite a loss. I've seen one student lose three Buffalos and still not complete a mission. Other students have had to leave the class because they could not afford to build another plane from the beginning with no recoverable parts to offset the cost. If you would rather communicate through email please let me know.
Sorry, I don't but there will be a new Ardupilot series starting next month. Following the Wiki will get you into the air. Missing out steps will get you a crash. I've seen so many pilots struggle and then I've asked them if they followed the steps in the Wiki it turns out they've 'just tried to figure it out'. See my Common iNav mistakes video for the most common ones on that platform - maybe I'll make one of those video for Arduplane too...
I've only used the ones in the video. That is one of the ones I'd recommend. I'd check with the seller of the device you're interested in... Best of luck
Thank you for nice and easy way explanation videos. If it is possible, could you please show how to connect and setup px4 to gimbal with zoom, trigger, 2 axis control via pwm. Brgds, Nikolai.
Hi Andrew, I have an ASS from my Feiyu-Tech 41AP light. Using now a Matek 405 Wing with INAV, would you know if and how to get it going on INAV? Thank you for all your brilliant contributions! Best Regards Mike
I was looking for a decent FC GPS board and fancied the mini pix by radio link with ardupilot but had my doubts it was a real pix hawk set up was too cheap half the price deluxe version had the pitot set up included 45 USD still fancy getting it,question is radio link the real deal manufacturers ? I settled for Matek 405 meantime with Inav
Many of those cheaper STM F4 based boards work with Ardupilot now... I've been playing around with an Omnibus F4 (just a bare board on the bench, not in anything at this stage), and so far it looks good. I just wish my spare time and motivation coincided more often.
@@tin2001 what got me was fact the GPS sensor and mount and pitot sensor as well as the board and all the wiring was included sure looked a like great price they maybe clearing out f7 boards what people be buying now
If an air speed sensor is based on a pressure sensor, would you have an increased pressure under an aeroplane as it came I to proximity with the airstrip? I was thinking that maybe a similar setup could be used to determine the height of an ekranoplan based on the pressure difference between above the aircraft and below the aircraft. What are your thoughts ?
You're right. That is why the position of the tip of the sensor far from the affected airflow created by the model is so critical.. In front of the airflow by a few inches is ideal in most cases... Happy flying!
@@Painless360 So do you think that a modification of how you use the sencors could be used to determine your proximity to the ground at two feet up or below, based on an increased pressure from ground effect?
These videos are great. I really like the collaborations with 3DXR on the more extensive equipment and setups in mission planner.

I stopped in here after purchasing the Lumenier F7 and noticing that this Flight Controller has an Air Speed Sensor. Thanks for the Video
You're wealth of information.. Thanks again? Getting one Now 💪💪👊👊
A video about the auto landing configuration would be much appreciated as there is almost nothing available. Thanks
Excellent! Would like to see the same with voltage sensors.
Always good, my go-to channel for learning
Fantastic, Lee! Thanks a lot! 😃
Man, some day I'm going to build something with the PixHawk... Just to play in my parent's farm. 😃

Not sure, I always calibrate by flying in a circle. Check the pitot tube is in clean airflow... Best of luck
Can you do the calibration in a field, at ground level, from a car window?
Amazing! TY :D
Thank for video. I would like know if that these sensor can I connect with arduino?
Any idea what to look for when shopping for "firmer tubing". I can't seem to find a specification for the firmness/stiffness of these silicon tubing.
What is the difference between installing two hoses and one hose on the airspeed sensor?What is the impact on its performance?
Do you think lengthening the rubber tube is fine? In our case the nose of the airscraft is a bit too far away for the default tubing.
Could I embed or basically hide a pitot tube in the nose of a pusher plane by drilling holes that align with it?
The dynamic pressure port needs to be reading from clean air away from the surface of the model... Best of luck

Not sure. ardupilot.org/plane/docs/airspeed.html has details of the options. I hope it helps..
Hi, is it worth installing an airpseed sensor on my generic VTOL quadplane setup? or should i just bypass it?

Hi. Which one of the output of the tube is for the "dynamic pressure" ? Is it the straight one or the inclined one ?
I copy the connections in the manual. I.e. www.mateksys.com/?portfolio=aspd-4525#tab-id-1
@@Painless360 So you don't connect the straight output of the pitot tube ?
@user-otzlixr why is he mentioning it as dynamic pressure ? it has to be total/stagnation pressure right?
@@rohinthuj5199 you are right , it should be stagnation pressure

Yep, I've popped one into my TBS Caipirinha wing, video on the channel.. :D
Tried to find it in your list, you have quite a few Videos with the Caipi - do you remember which one it was that had the pitot tube in?

Range finder videos please
I've done a few already with LIDAR and SONAR, check those out. Thanks for the idea.
My objective that I was working on was obstacle avoidance
What about Preflight calibration? I has to to this bevor every Flight because the indication shows 5 to 7 m/s after power on.
Yep, cover the sensor with your hand as you power on so any breeze isn't read as static air..
@@Painless360
You are shure, it will be set to zero (covered) while power on?
In my workshop is no breeze, but I will do it once.
In the manual - ardupilot.org/plane/docs/airspeed.html see the calibration section.. :)
what is the sensor name ?!
2:31 in the video. Always check the 3dxr website for the options. Best of luck
is there anyone know how to learn pixhawk in Queensland (Australia)
See my Ardupilot and Pixhawk series for how to set it all up. Best of luck!
