    Next year a new, console-based configurator for Ardupilot, based on node-mavlink, is coming. It won't be as beautiful and as feature rich as the clean flight-based ancient configurators that BF and INAV use, but it will be on a whole new level from what the current mission planner provides, especially in the scope of configuring your drone. It will never support mission planning the way mission planner (or qgroundcontrol for that matter) does, it will be just for configuring your drone, but it finally will be something that works cross-platform, because people deserve it. Let's face it: if you're willing to tinker with Ardupilot, there is a good chance you're OK with Linux and running mission planner currently on mono just sucks. Stay tuned because it will be awesome!

    I've started with ardupilot for my first build, it was nice, I've learned a lots, after i decided to get into Betaflight and INAV, the important is to enjoy the hobby
    Happy flying 🎉

    For planes I use iNav. For quads Betafoight. I have loaded Ardupilot, but it’s complicated to use and the extra features that it provides are not things I need. The only reason I consider ardupilot is because I want to built a sick ground station because building stuff is part of my hobby. I don’t need ground station but I want to build one and Ardupilot Mission Planner is cool for ground station.

    I have them all, a large multi-rotor on ArduCopter, mid-sized multi-rotors and fixed wing cruisers on INAV, a few micro quads on Betaflight. ArduCopter on a PixHawk was a steep learning curve and I've chosen not to go there again. INAV and Betaflight Configurators both have a very nice user interface. My preferred F/C software is INAV, mainly because of the GPS assisted flight modes, especially the brilliant Return to Home mode. Also, looking forward to trying VTOL in INAV 7.

    I do like the locked in feeling of arduplane, I live in a windy coastal area and it flys really well. I started using INAV again during the summer after a few years on Arduplane, it still has that loose feeling but for tutorials, community support and hardware compatability it's ahead of the rest - Ardupilot feels a bit like a chess club at times where INAV its more that dodgy bunch of guys in hoodies in a park trying to sell you some 18650's.

  • @Videolinquency
    @Videolinquency Год назад +4

    My sole focus is waypoint flights, but I still prefer INAV over Ardupilot these days; I feel INAV gives me better control over things like climb throttle, and the terrain clearance readout in Mission Control is a great tool. When I do use Ardupilot, it's mostly to avoid recurrent driver issues I have with INAV, but those are probably not INAV's fault at all.

  • @robtomben
    @robtomben 6 месяцев назад

    My first FC wing was running Ardupilot. Once I had it tuned that thing was locked in. When i switched into waypoint or rth it was always reliable. I kinda miss that using Inav now but I love the UI and autolaunch features of Inav.

    Excellent video, Pawel! Thanks! 😊
    In my case... Some 5" and smaller, Betaflight. Some other 5" and bigger, iNav. Airplanes, I'd use only iNav. ArduPilot I'd use only for vtol, but I guess it won't be for long.
    Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Horses for courses… Betaflight best for just split arsing around, Ardu for more complex missions and iNav somewhere in the middle. I do like having pos hold so I can scratch an itch, answer the phone or just take a little break.

      I think you'll like INAV if you're flying TO somewhere. Flying over there, then back here. Versus aerobatics, flips and rolls right in front of you. If I was focused on tricks (which direction the quad is pointing), I would use Betaflight. If it's about which direction the quad is *going*, INAV.
      Yes Betaflight can be used to fly to somewhere, and INAV can be used to do flips and rolls. But each has their own focus.

    For me, Ardupilot for large multirotors and fixed wing medium-to-long range...(Ardu Terrain Following is the bomb)!!! Betaflight for my 7" and smaller multirotors. Inav for my short-to-medium range fixed wings...easier setup than Ardu, but not as feature rich as Ardu.

    I started out with Ardupilot. It works very well when its all configurated. After that I tried Inav and, that was for me a much easer experience. With Ardupilot I always forget what I did in order to get different things to work. For me Inav its easier to work with and upgrade to new versions. But since I fly a lot of waypoint missions I really lack the MAV-link support in INAV. Any thoughts of implementing that in the future?

    As some one who makes a living of cinematography using FPV drones I must dissagree strongly on your point there. Its much easier and better tunes in betaflight to fly say a komodo on the drone then Inav! and ardupilot for fpv is just not even happening! I can agreen on many of your statements but this one. Well my friend I have years of experience on film sets and If we look at all the FPV pilots around not even 10% in the professional world use iNAV. Having that said iNAV has come a long ways and is getting to a point that is very good but to say betaflight has one star well no! Maybe 2 and iNAV 2 also as its not compatible with the FCs we all want to use sometimes.
