Thanks for posting this. All your videos have been fantastic. I have a question as to why you add the arm switch both to inputs and mixing page. What does each of these accomplish?
If you don't set up a mix you won't get an output on the channel. One way to think of it is the Input page (page 4) are the inputs and the Mixer page (page 5) are the outputs and they need to be mapped or linked. You can ignore setting up a named Input channel if you want and simply select a new Mix and directly map it to Input SC. I prefer to explicitly name the input channels to avoid confusion.
Hello, and thank you for your wonderful tutorials and informational videos. I am wondering about firmware upgrades to your Vortex. I just received an Ummagawd special edition Vortex Pro 250 and am wondering if all this firmware updating/upgrading is necessary.
@@WhirlyBloke Would you ever happen to be interested in helping troubleshoot in exchange for $? I’m a noobie and at my whits end trying to get my Vortex 150 to arm. It’s probably something simple for someone as seasoned as you, but it very well may be something I never figure out. I’ve got Zoom/FaceTime and PayPal/ApplePay. Let me know if it’s something you would consider. Thanks!
I've got 4 quads that I've setup to arm with a switch. Picked up the vortex mini and really like the OSD and all you can do with it. Can't for the life of me get it to connect to the configurator or betaflight. The one thing the OSD is missing is the ability to set up a arm switch. Why in the world would you build a drone this advanced, and still have it arm with the sticks.😬
Yes. You're moving the arming fro the throttle to the switch. Arming on the throttle is a bad idea as I found out to my cost. ruclips.net/video/yc3ZukgYx6s/видео.html
Whirly Bloke thanks for the info! Gonna set that up straight away as soon as my vortex arrives!! my phantom has the same arming method which seems dodgey. First time getting into fpv, your tutorials are Really helpfull keep em up and thank u! U got a subscriber here bro!
Hi there, i appreciate that cleanflight and betaflight are basically the same thing but in betaflight i would like to change the setting on the mode switch. In my mind the mode switch should run from easiest mode to hardest mode, like you have it in cleanflight......But in betaflight it runs Horizon - angle - air mode... I need to transpose the Horizon and Angle mode. any help you can give me would be great. thanks in advance Mark Logan.
Whirly Bloke , Sorry, I think you misunderstand .... in cleanflight go to mode tab the sequence goes " ACRO-HORIZON-AIR' but in bataflight the sequence goes "HORIZON-ACRO-AIR' How do I change this sequence to make it the same as cleanflight Kind regards Mark Logan.
Works fine but I don't know how to get to the menu now. Also, (dont't know if related) the welcome screen doesn't go away when I start flying. Can someone help me? Great videos btw, helped me a lot so far!
Thanks for the video. This cleared up a lot for me. I'm using a Graupner Radio but this video made setting up the arm switch simple.
Great info thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥇🚁🚁

That makes sense. thanks!
Some things get auto configured on the Taranis, but I find explicitly setting thing works best for me.

No problems

thank you very much, you helped me out!
Agreed, from the n00bies out here, I needed this one. Thanks!
my osd wont let me arm because of a bad rx how do i fix that
Hi ,quick question from a begginer, will that cancel out arming the quad with the throttle?
Yes. You're moving the arming fro the throttle to the switch. Arming on the throttle is a bad idea as I found out to my cost. ruclips.net/video/yc3ZukgYx6s/видео.html

I need to transpose the Horizon and Angle mode.

thanks in advance
Mark Logan.
The process for setting the flight modes is identical in betaflight and cleanflight.
Whirly Bloke ,
Sorry, I think you misunderstand .... in cleanflight go to mode tab the sequence goes " ACRO-HORIZON-AIR'
but in bataflight the sequence goes "HORIZON-ACRO-AIR'
How do I change this sequence to make it the same as cleanflight
Kind regards
Mark Logan.
The order they are displayed in CF and BF is unimportant. You can just assign the flight mode to whatever actual switch or switch position you want.
Works fine but I don't know how to get to the menu now. Also, (dont't know if related) the welcome screen doesn't go away when I start flying. Can someone help me? Great videos btw, helped me a lot so far!
SCUD7005 have you found the solution? I'm also interested in a way to get the menu but there are no "mode" talking about the menu
Does this also work in betafligt?
YES
Thanks whrilly bloke have a cuppa on me I would give you a hobnob to go with it. 👍👍
I've disarmed 200+ feet in the air because of these stupid default arming methods
I think we all learned the hard way.
