Fantastic! Thanks for the tutorial, Lee! 😃 The ground wire thing is a great practice. It avoids so many issues! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I also like such videos and therefore a short comment that you know that it was a great summary and also reading all your comments which can be quite a lot. I got 3 speedybee f405 flight controller last year before the sanctions and export ban could kick in which i wanna use this year, but they are still in the box and it is too cold to work in my shop right now. But I wrote it down and have this in my notes for the speedy bee f405 and elrs receiver setup to find it when needed.
Thanks for the great videos. I am using Inav 7.1.2, Frsky R-XSR with firmware Accst 2.1.1 Fport LBT (for Europe). My transmitter is the Radiomaster Zorro with 4 in 1 internal module. The Smart port (S Port) I am using to connect to the Speedybee F405 WING MINI is the uninverted S Port pad (letter P with bar on it) on the Frsky R-XSR. The ground, +, uninverted S Port from R-XSR all connected to the port listed as the TELEMETRY port with the GH 1.25 6 Pin connector (wire and connector was not included with my SpeedyBee F405WING MINI). The uninverted S Port from the Frsky Rxsr is connected t 0:15 o the TX2. Other than TX2 to uninverted SPort, + and ground there is nothing else connected, so the sbus cable from the receiver is not connected. On Inav it is not necessary to use the Soft Serial mode. On Inav: Ports section; Uart2 Serial RX is selected, on Configuration; Enable CPU based serial is NOT selected, Gps for telemetry and Telemetry output are selected, on Receiver section of Inav; Receiver type is Serial, Serial Receiver provider is FPORT, Serial port inverted is On and Serial Receiver half-duplex is set to Auto. I am receiving all telemetry just fine on the transmitter. PLEASE NOTE: SPEEDYBEE WEB SITE as of the date of this comment has the GH 1.25mm 6P connector listed upside down. In other words where it says 4v5 is actually the ground and where it says ground is the 4v5. The small brochure that came with the f405wing mini is correct but the web site is wrong as of the date of this comment so please pay special attention as this also changes the actual location of the TX2 pin.
I had one problem connecting SpeedyBee F405 Wing Mini to the S.Port of a FRSKY X8R rx. When I connect Tx2(SpeedyBee) to S.Port Signal and SpeedyBee GND to S.Port GND the system stays completely dead. No power to the SpeedyBee and RX. Only but the ESC beeps a few tones. When I disconnect the GND everything works fine. So I googled and indeed one video show that to a SpeedyBee F405 Wing Mini only the signal wire should be connected. So that's a bit different than the F405 Wing (big one). Strange isnt it? II run a old EU version of the X8R and my Opentx is also a bit old, but I cannot believe thats the reason. Maybe you or subscriber now what's going on. Thanks. I love your videos 🙂
SpeedyBee were made aware of this bug back in May last year, as well as outputs on S7, S8 and S9 being messed up. They produced a firmware update but didn't share it publicly. All taken care of in INAV 6.1.1
Hi Lee - Thanks for the credit & the callout. On this topic there is another problem I haven't been able to figure out but perhaps you have. I have discovered that the SpeedBee F405 wing does not return the full list of telemetry items. There are a number missing but specifically the one missing that I want is the Tmp2 (not Temp2). The Tmp2 (from the GitHub docs) should return GPS satellite info: fix, HDOP and number of Sats. I want to display HDOP & the number of Sats on my X20 display so I know when to fly. The FC does not allow arming until the req'd number of Sats are acquired so the FC does recognise the number of Sats, it just doesn't send them via telemetry. Perhaps you or any other users can verify on your install if you get the Tmp2 item or not. I think it is a bug for this FC build so maybe it should be reported.
I’m using the same flight controller for a bait boat conversion but instead I’m using mission planner. The problem I have is I can’t connect to mission planner via the holybro sik telemetry radios I’ve bought got solid green lights on both radios so they’re connected but can’t connect onto MP is there a parameter that needs alterating in quite new to all this so any advise would be appreciated thanks
Hello. I need your help!! I have this fc with 03 air unit.. i got it all wired. Trying to setup in inav/speedybee.. i cant get air unit to talk to fc.(move servos etc) what am i missing.. on port 5 what do i set it to? I really hope u can help!
Check out the wiring diagram. There are two SBUS inputs. One for the DJI unit and one for traditional recievers. MKe sure only one is connected. Best of luck
I recently purchased a speedybee f405 wing FC, I have a spectrum radio and receiver but the instructions do not show a connection for the spectrum receiver. I also have a speedybee f405 V4 flight controller for a kwad and it shows the spectrum receiver connection in the instructions. Can you tell me if it is possible to connect the spectrum receiver to the wing FC ?
You need a reciever that'll support either sbus or something like CRSF. Sadly Spektrum don't support open standards like SBUS very well... Best of luck
Got it working with my X8R but I'm getting "sensor lost" messages every now and again. I think this can happen if updates for a sensor take longer than 10 seconds? I've cut down the number of sensors being monitored to just the four I'm really interested in (Alt, RSSI, GPS, A4) but still get a "sensor lost" message every few minutes. I know I can get rid of all telemetry alarms but I'd rather not. Am I missing something?
@@Painless360 Thanks for responding. I've now acquired a number of SpeedyBee F405-Wing controllers. This has allowed me to isolate the problem to one particular SpeedyBee FC - it works well for about 3 mins after power up and then gets slower and slower to update telemetry until the "sensor lost" messages begin after about 4 mins. Its as if a buffer is filling up or something is overheating. Logs don't tell me anything. (I'm sure its the FC - If I use the same X8R, the same wiring connections, the same GPS and the same airspeed gadget with another SpeedyBee FC then telemetry works fine. Its all repeatable.) So I'm left with a faulty FC (soldered up). Hey ho. At least I've some spare connections now. And a new lease of life for half a dozen old X8Rs.
Thanks. Unfortunately this didn't work for me with the R-XSR receiver. Still tying to figure it out. I have the receiver talking to the F405-Wing, but it isn't getting the telemetry after I ran the TX2 wire to the R-XSR's S.Port pin. I replicated all the steps in inav as seen from this video. Did you simply "Discover new sensors" and everything showed up? Not sure what's up. Thanks!
@@Painless360 Thank you. Also, do you know if I can add additional SmartPort sensors? I have an Avian ESC and can grab the voltage/current from there (with a telemetry converter) rather than push the current through the FC's PCB. If so, would I just tap straight into the blue wire, or would I need to feed it in through the adjacent R2 pin? Not sure if inav will read other sensors, but that's okay if I can just send it straight to the receiver to send to the transmitter. Thanks!
Got it figured out. I couldn’t have Smartport and SBUS both on UART2. I moved the blue wire from TX2 to TX4, and enabled UART4 for telemetry. I was also able to disable the softserial as it isn’t needed. Also important to note that the F405 Wing puts out an inverted SmartPort signal, so make sure your receiver has a pin for inverted SmartPort.
hi im using a speedybee F405 wing on inav 7.1.2 and FlYSKY FS - i6x with openTX 1.11.1 installed via idus but i am not getting all the telemetry data could you point me in the right direction

Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Brilliant. You got me worried when you said in the last video smartport doesnt work. Glad there was a fix for this as i wouldnt of guessed the fix.
Great. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward the maiden flight!
Very useful to me thanks. It will allow me to get a spoken airspeed value from radio when flying from ground rather than through camera.

Hi do you have any tutorial for showing telemetry viewer in Android? Especially for the Remote that already has bluetooth feature
Thank you

Support for ibus telemetry appears to be active by default. Maybe incorrect wiring? See github.com/iNavFlight/inav/blob/master/docs/Telemetry.md
when i plug mine into inav it puts it into CLI mode, what do I do?
See my series on INAV for beginners. Versions need to match on the FC and PC. See ruclips.net/video/pfzg23ti_6c/видео.html
Does anyone know how to do this with Ardupilot?
Love your work mate. How are you powering the X8R?
FC provides the 5v power for it.. Happy flying!
HELP !!!
How do I set up the Speedybee telemetry for a Dragonlink RX ???
