CUAV PIXHACK V5+ AUTOPILOT UNBOXING & OVERVIEW - FOR PX4 & ARDUPILOT

[@MattBeardsley]

Interesting. Cool to see the configuration options in qgroundcontrol. Helpful as always! - thank you!

Hey! Great videos. Is there a video where you try out px4 and do a comparison with ardupilot?

Hi, realizing this video is a couple of years old, today is the first time I've heard about cuav. So I did some searches and saw you had a video on it, and I've used your videos for my pixhawk Cubes and here2/3 gps, really helped out !! So looking at this video, so mentioned something that really perked me up, you said that cuav's wifi adapter works with the Cube as well. So my question is, if this unit works with pixhawk, what advantages can I have other than connecting to gsc? Can I stay connected during long range flights and have vehicle tracking by map? Reason I ask is because I use crossfire with my Cubes, and crossfire bluetooth telem just doest cut it, very hard to connect and if you do, very hard to stay connected. When I started building my fpv platforms, I didn't do enough research, if I had I'd be flying today using xlrs long range systems. I appreciate your help, thank you

Awesome video. Do a review on the mfd automatically antenna tracker.

[@MadRC]

That would be cool.

Can you please provide a detailed comparison with the Cube.

[@MadRC]

I will do that in a separate video I think as there is a lot to show on this. Basically it’s very similar to Cube Yellow with Standard Carrier board. SOC slightly different, Cube Yellow has F777 that has built in LCD controller and and JPG Codec for future use where as the CUAV has the 765 model, both have same clock speed and onboard ram and cache Both have Same Rom storage Both have triple IMU, Cube has 2 of them isolated and heated. the CUAV has isolated and at this time I believe it’s all three but none heated. There are some deeper differences Iv not discussed in the passed around Orange specifically as it has secure cryptographic hash module onboard too for future use. But will do a video on this in more depth I think. The bigger differences are the carrier

[@mongranperspective4809]

Awesome. Can’t wait for the comparison. I still run the 1st version of Pixhawk. Do you know if significant changes have been made to how these FC handle vibrations? Also do you know if any now have compatibility with Cross Fire as well as the latest ESC firmware like Dshots etc.

[@MadRC]

With regards to vibration yes dramatically, the original Pixhawk had no internal vibration isolation and required the whole controller to be soft mounted. the CUAV V5+ and the Cube Black, Blue,Yellow and Orange all have internally isolated IMU sensors so these autopilots should be hard mounted as they deal with it all internally.

Thanks

Hello, I recently bought v5+. I was resetting the parameters to reset the settings, the main led on the pichawk did not light up, I don't know if it's for my zero mount or something else. Can you help me?

[@MadRC]

That’s odd. So no led at all. I’d try resetting the cube module and then reflash again with diferent version of Ardupilot.
