Betafpv Pavo20 Build and Review - Part 1

[@T0NE3116]

No talking and really in depth video. Well done

[@flyingpudding]

Thank you for watching and your comment!

[@shaha_airena]

Thinking of buying this too. Thanks for the guide.

[@flyingpudding]

Thanks for watching, and please share your experience here! Happy holiday

[@adjiendrasasongko0032]

Thanks for the video. It helps a lot. If i may ask, is it possible to install analog camera to these aio ?

[@flyingpudding]

Thanks for watching! The latest FCs including the one that come with the Pavo20 does not have an OSD chip for analog. You may need to get something older like this instead. betafpv.com/collections/brushless-flight-controller/products/f4-1s-12a-flight-controller

[@laamvlogger]

Hello sir, can I ask if this drone supports inav software?

[@flyingpudding]

Both Pavo20 and Pavo20 pro uses the same flight controller. According to the info on the product page: betafpv.com/collections/brushless-flight-controller/products/f4-2-3s-20a-aio-fc-v1 it doesn't look like there is a target for iNav at the moment. BTW, are looking to add a GPS module for RTH function? You could use UART 6 for that.

[@abrambah]

Well done tutorial! Btw, how to set up the modes to switch to turn on/off the led strip? Appreciate it.

[@flyingpudding]

Assuming you have followed the steps in my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6O1e2mspNaKkKc with the wires soldered to the TX1 and 5v pads; and you have done the correct resource mapping in betaflight. An extra item under the "Modes" tab called User1 would show up. You will then assign a switch/channel of your radio to activate and deactivate the LED. Hope that helps!

[@abrambah]

[@flyingpudding]

@@muhammadsaid8548 Weight and space saving 😉 It is still better to install thr cap for very aggressive flying, yet I didn't need it (for my type of cinematic moves) even with 3s in the 2nd episode kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6PdqmiDacl8aqs

[@netwrkspider]

you didn't solderd capacitor ?

[@flyingpudding]

I don't need one for the type of flying in the video - cinematic and light acro. On the other hand, a capacitor is recommended for racing and hard free style. Thanks for watching and your comment!

[@ArikaFortuna]

Can the vtx antenna replaced with rushcherry 2 antenna? Can the vtx mounting secure it

[@flyingpudding]

DJI O3 Air Unit Antenna is 5.8GHz/2.4GHz Dual Band UFL Antenna - LHCP. I am not too sure if Rush Cherry 2 is dual band though, I suppose it doesn't matter as long as you don't use the 2.4ghz band (e.g. Dji Remote Controller 2) and you get the LHCP model.

[@viniciosmatheus7730]

good video, but why didn't you use the capacitor that comes with the FC?

[@flyingpudding]

Thanks for watching! I don't fly hard enough to justify that haha. In fact, none my Pavos including the latest "Toothpico" have the cap. However, you may want to put it on if you fly much harder though. Happy flying!

[@larsheller5049]

Thanks for the video. Can you install GPS? Where would you solder it?

[@flyingpudding]

Assuming you are using the F4 2-3s 20A FC, please refer to the diagram on this page for GPS connection: betafpv.com/collections/brushless-flight-controller/products/f4-2-3s-20a-aio-fc-v1 Thanks for watching and happy flying!

Greetings! The drone can be used without the O3 unit

[@flyingpudding]

Thanks for watching! Were u asking if the Pavo20 can be used without the O3? Yes, you may use other vtx such as Vista or Walksnail or even HDZero.

[@ilink06]

I bought the same setup, saw your video on the led not working, I tried the led strip on the led pad like your first try, I also cant get it to work, do you know the reason why it's not working even after setting all the PINIO? i soldering exactly the way instructed on the website, and does the exact same coding, using the PIN B06 since its the led stripe pin.

[@flyingpudding]

Hi thanks for watching! You need to enable PINIO on an UART and not the LED pad. Please solder to an available UART port (TX1 in my case), then read and follow the instruction carefully. betafpv.com/products/pavo-series-cob-led-strip?pr_prod_strat=jac&pr_rec_id=c85f7fb66&pr_rec_pid=6902379479174&pr_ref_pid=6902486204550&pr_seq=uniform

its soldered onto the T1 pad so try typing resource SERIAL_T1 NONE resource PINIO 1 A09 set pinio_box = 40,41,42,43 save it should work.

Thank you for watching! It is indeed controlled via an UART port that can be triggered using a switch. Detail of the setup is here: bit.ly/47KQvL5

[@ShawnHerb-i6k]

When I wire it up to t1 do I need to do anything in cli. Or will the led strip turn right on?

[@flyingpudding]

I used the instruction on the product page here: betafpv.com/products/pavo-series-cob-led-strip It is supposedly triggered by a switch (channel) so that the LED would lit when you flip the switch. Alternately, you may use an unused channel and set the range to enable the LED as-is, and it will stay lit as long as the lipo is connected. Hope that helped and happy building!

[@ShawnHerb-i6k]

Ok, when you wired it to t1 did you use pinio a08? Like the instructions?

[@flyingpudding]

@@ShawnHerb-i6k Yes, that is correct.

[@simonlajeunesse8675]

@@BlackMan-kp4un Any idea why it didn't work on the LED pads? I just wired mine to those, followed the instructions, and still nothing.

Thanks for your video, I already built my own Pavo20 but I have had overheating problems and when I raise it in angle mode it moves to the sides and I already calibrated its position in betaflight and also adjusted the sticks on my radiomaster pocket. Maybe you can help me with That and the overheating thing. thank you bro

[@flyingpudding]

Thanks for watching! About the drifting when airborne, you meant it would move to any directions on its own without any input, even in angle mode, correct? If it drifts slowly and it doesn't only drift to a particular direction, that means your quad is actually calibrated correctly. Unlike regular drones, FPV quads require constant and small corrections all the time. Try to practice in simulator and train your muscle memory. About the overheating issue, could you share some pictures of your build? You could find my on IG @flying.pudding or FB (flying pudding)

3S 550mAh or 650mAh 3S?

[@flyingpudding]

If you are limited to the 2 options, 3s 550 would be better.

[@BentRim]

My stock CLI had some settings turned on under the LED tab in betaflight. Its my understanding that the color of the LED stsrip is not controlled by betaflight. Wondering why the stock cli had these settings. Anybody else?

[@flyingpudding]

That is a good question. You are right about the color because the LED strip is single color and cannot be change, and it is not supposed to be hooked up to the LED pad but to an UART (TX) on the FC . Hence, the LED setting in Betaflight is irrelvant.

[@BentRim]

[@stravinsky140]

How do i control my led?

[@flyingpudding]

It is designed to be controlled by an auxiliary channel. Assuming you already wired up the LED to an UART and performed resource mapping correctly. You would then setup a switch on your radio, map it to an aux channel, and setup a range under USER1 like here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaTKgqSAqJaeqrs

[@Tanoso88]

Hi, very nice video, congratulations! I wanted to ask you a question, is there a possibility to install the walksnail hd pro vtx?
