Is it possible to connect a telemetry radio such as the RFDesign 900X to the Omnibus F4?

[@iforce2d]

Yes, you just need a UART available. The first UART will typically be used by GPS, but on these boards there is another one. Which connector it is on may need a little trial and error to find out, and you can change the value of the parameters SERIALx_PROTOCOL to assign the functionality you want (for telemetry it would be MAVLink1) These days there is better official support for these cheap boards, the options I just mentioned will be set up already, and rather than doing what I did here you would be better off to get firmware from here (use 'stable'): firmware.ardupilot.org/ Boot loader flashing (only need to do once): ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-loading-firmware-onto-chibios-only-boards.html Firmware flashing: ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-loading-chibios-firmware-onto-pixhawk.html btw if you have changed that little solder pad bridge to select full battery power on the video in/out + pins, double check that you're still getting only 5V on the UART connectors before connecting your telemetry/GPS. On one revision of these boards (v2.1) I found that changing that solder bridge gave me full battery power on the UART +ve pin too and I lost a cheapie telemetry radio module because of it. I would hate to see a pricey radio like the 900x get smoked!

Great info! Has anyone gotten serial telemetry working with these? I'm using a standard serial data modem. I'm getting data like attitude, altitude, GPS position, but the parameters are failing to load.

[@iforce2d]

Hi Daniel, do you mean the parameters can't be set/changed? I have a serial modem on one of my planes with the omnibus f4 pro, and I have noticed that it's damn near impossible to change parameters while flying (maybe one in 20 or so attempts will succeed), even though the position data is being updated smoothly. But I can change parameters via the modem just fine when the plane is not flying. I never thought too much about it since I rarely change parameters in flight, but perhaps it is some kind of bug... seems odd though, if the position data is coming in the link should be ok. I know the modems are ok because I have used them with other FCs (revo-mini and Radiolink MiniPix) and I was able to change parameters in flight with those.

[@rctestflight]

@@iforce2d I'm getting all the live data just fine but it seems as though the Omnibus is not responding to the GCS's request to send parameters. I'm not able to view or change parameters at any time. Seems like maybe the TX is working but not the RX? As it can't receive parameter request? I've tried this with multiple modems so pretty confident its an omnibus problem

While sitting on the bench I am testing the various flight modes and they switch properly. My question is when I am in manual mode w/ 50% throttle and I switch to Cruise mode the motor stops - is this normal behavior on the bench? I am nervous to test it in the air as I am not sure what the response will be.

[@iforce2d]

Yes I think so. It seems to know when it's really flying or not. Seems to also cut the throttle automatically after a crash too. But generally speaking, with any new mode just be ready to quickly switch back to manual immediately if something goes wrong and I don't see that it would be a serious problem even if settings are not quite right.

[@iforce2d]

You could try decreasing the 'min' value for the throttle channel on the Servo Output page (under Initial setup, Mandatory Hardware). The default is 1100 which might be a little high for some ESCs, and they will not interpret it as a throttle low position. If an ESC gives me this problem I usually set that value to 1000.

Hi. Just a small question. Is it possible to have 3RD dongle style telemetry radios to work with inav on F3 boards? I was trying to get this to work. Can't find any examples. I have used these radios and they work with a Cube. With iNav it's not working. Not sure on any settings. Not sure where to find the information and was wondering if you've done this.

[@markgiles8527]

Mavlink. Mavlink is the telemetry protocol (and configuration protocol) of APM and other FCs. It has limited support in iNav and requires more bandwidth than the svelte LTM. It does however allow the use of other CGS and OSD. Mavlink one way telemetry is supported by Droid Planner 2 (Android)

[@markgiles8527]

I've lowered the bandwidth to 4800. I've used Droid Planner 2. I'm using UART1. Telemetry set to Mavlink. Have turned on telemetry in the Configuration Tab. Not working.

[@iforce2d]

No idea sorry, haven't used iNav for a long time. Sounds like you're trying to use Ardupilot Mission Planner with iNav, I really doubt that would work well, if at all. I would try setting the 'Data' option to 'MSP' with the 'telemetry' option disabled, and just use the iNav configurator. The 3DR dongles are often 57600 baud by default, best to be certain of their speed before bothering to do anything further, that would have been shown in upper right when you were using them with the Cube.

What are the advantages over iNav?

[@iforce2d]

If you just want RTH for when you lose radio contact, not much. But if you're asking the broader question of what features does Ardupilot have over iNav, it's hard to know where to start. Ardupilot is not just for planes and multirotors, you can use it to control ground vehicles, boats, submarines, conventional helicopters, VTOL aircraft and even antenna trackers (personally, I bought this board to eventually use on an antenna tracker). You can find all the basic info here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArduPilot But what I find to be the most important features would be: - ground station to view and control plane in flight, and make all settings wirelessly - remote logging via telemetry - good support for aerial mapping missions (terrain following, interaction with camera) - various other useful mission commands like DO_SERVO, not just waypoints - many many years more mature and well-tested platform If you were to expand the scope to all hardware and not just the board I have in this video, then Ardupilot is also capable of using multiple GPS, multiple IMU sensors for redundancy. Overall I think the plane flies more stably, holds altitude better, and tracks better in wind with Arduplane.

[@JaimieFryer]

From a software perspective, ardupilot is robust and proven in industrial applications and iNav is much less used. Even if you only want RTH, Ardupilot can also to SmartRTH, Inav will fly in a line straight back to you, even if that line has a tree or hill in the way.

By removing the resistor you are supposed to be able to power your servos directly from the board without using a BEC from the ESC. Could you pls verify that, because it would mean a few less wires. Thanks

I think I mentioned in these videos somewhere, but only the first connection (for rc input) is powered from the board. The other four connections have a common vcc rail but no power unless you connect an ESC/BEC. I would not trust the board power to run servos anyway, better to have a BEC that can supply a decent amount of current.

You mentioned that you are going to use UART1 for telemetry, however since the SBUS-pin on the board is actually connected to UART1 at least RX is going to be quite busy. Is it possible share uart for telemetry and SBUS or did you miss the fact that they are connected? :)

[@iforce2d]

I think I missed that they are connected. I could have sworn I had my radio working at the same time as having GPS working on that UART1 earlier though....

[@iforce2d]

According to this, RC input is on PB8, UART1 is on PA9/PA10 and UART6 is on PC6/PC7. github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/master/libraries/AP_HAL_ChibiOS/hwdef/omnibusf4pro/hwdef.dat I still don't get what removing that 'resistor' did or whether it was even necessary though...

[@tommykarlsson3077]

With the board you have the ability to choose between using SBUS (UART1) or PPM (no UART). You do this by connecting the pin (via soldering) to either PPM or SBUS. In your case i guess it was already connected to both SBUS and PPM at the same time, and to have a clear UART1 that can be used for something else you need to remove the connection of the pin to SBUS. If you look at the comment for the PB8-pin you can see that they want you to remove the resistor connecting SBUS to the pin and instead use PPM. This makes the UART available for telemetry. If you don't remove the SBUS-resistor the reciever will interfere with the UART if you try to use it for something else :)

[@tommykarlsson3077]

In other words, both PB8 and PA10 can be connected to the pin. You remove the connection to PA10 by removing that resistor and thus you have a free UART1. This does however mean that you have to use PPM (since SBUS requires an UART). If you are currently using SBUS and it works, then I think you might have removed the wrong resistor

[@iforce2d]

I just double-checked and I can run the GPS on UART1 and sbus at the same time with no problems. I have not checked running UART1, UART6 and sbus at the same time though, I'll do that a little later. I think I understand what you're saying about the pins being physically connected and needing to be detached, and by that logic it should not work. But I'm wondering if you are thinking about all this from a Betaflight point of view? The default behavior for Ardupilot is that you can use ppm or sbus on the same pin without making any settings in the configurator - it self-detects the protocol being used. So perhaps Ardupilot is able to handle UART input on a pin that is not a real hardware UART.... ?

[@iforce2d]

In the full parameters list, try changing the serial protocol for the UARTs to be GPS until you find which one you're plugged into. I forget the name of them, but if you type "proto" in the search field, this will find them. You'll need to reboot to have this change take effect. I don't think it's ever serial0 so leave that alone... usually it's serial 1 or serial 5 in my experience, I have not tried a non-pro board, but I suppose it would make no difference.

So your OSD and power sensing would need to be on separate boards, just a matter of convenience of wiring I guess. Price is not that different at $36 vs $48 so not really a big decision factor.

[@Freebird_67]

iforce2d actually the power module isn’t a big deal but now that you mentioned it I was forgetting about those new F4 boards having built in osd which is a huge deal for me.

And how do you mission plan while flying? Like you cannot have the USB all the time. I planned using 433 telemetry with ordinal 2.4 fs-ia6b, for manual take off and then activate autopitol, if possible activate from the PC not the controller, cuz it has lower range. So I could change plans in flight, would appreciate the help.
