INAV 8.0 new features: An overview with devceloper Marc!

[@skupper672]

Thank you for posting this! Marc is an amazing contributor and is extraordinary and his willingness to help others. Between him and Pavel they are really moving the ball forward with this programming. I hope Pavel gets back in the game soon. Looking forward to the dead reckoning and ground station control! I’m a huge INAV fan and it is great to be watching this develop.

What happened to Pavel? Or is he just busy at work ? Thanks

[@skupper672]

@@probante I read he is taking some much needed personal time and will be back soon

[@MCsCreations]

Thanks a bunch for all the info, Lee and Marc! 😃 The ADSB thing is amazing!!! Thanks for all the work, iNav devs! Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊

[@3d-tooldesign]

Thanks a lot to the dev team and all the people that contribute to inav! These are the ones that are giving us pilots a great and safe time in our hobby. thanks!

[@lindens4044]

Excellent video! I would love to learn more about the picoADSB mentioned in the video.

[@Painless360]

I have one on the way... Stay tuned!

[@CarlosChavez-gs1ld]

Thanks again Andrew and Marc. There is nothing like talking to the folks that are actually DOING the work. Inevitably, things just fly out of their mouths that cause an Engineer and/or Programmer like myself to actually stop petting his cat, raise his eyebrows and rewind the video.... in this case, there were TWO such moments- (16:53-17:12) and (23:20-23:59).

[@tedhauser7351]

Thanks!

"There was a bit of an issue with Marc's microphone..." What a hilariously funny flashback to IFWG Wing Talks 🤣 Good old times

[@pfeerick]

Thanks for the overview of some of the more interesting features in iNav 8. And a big thankd for all the hard work done by contributors of the project - it's amazing to see all the cool new stuff that keeps getting added, and making it easier to use bit by bit.

[@VladTepes44]

ADS-B warnings and geo zones will be great for longer range flying. I fly not to far from a protected zone during summer and knowing my plane will not dash through it that if I ever have a fail safe is just great.

[@qyitonefpv6551]

Lee and Marc, love you guys, brilliant video mate

[@opposedforces]

Absolutely fantastic video. Marc Hoffman is a true legend. Thank you Lee for ALWAYS putting out amazing content sir. Much appreciated inded.

[@johncarold]

Thanks Lee and Mark for the info on INAV8.0

[@RCGuyVideos]

Wow! The iNav team is knocking it out of the park! 👍 iNav 8 is such a huge upgrade! I especially like the UART support for the Walksnail GM gimbal, ADS-B RX support, and dead-reckoning RTH! Regarding the i-Term lock feature (24:00), I kinda like the slight bounce-back after doing a hard roll. The bounce-back confirmed for me the acro mode was indeed "dialed in"! :) But I'll definitely play around with the dynamic i-term feature. If it can avoid bounce-back but still get that smoother flight, I'll keep it around. I'm worried there's a risk it might degrade acro stabilization if the dynamic i-term option turned up too high. Basically, I've gotten so used to stabilized mode, the full manual mode just feels too raw and unstable nowadays. I rarely use manual mode except during initial tuning.

[@alainrac56]

Sorry to ask the question, but english is not my native language, and didn't get all that was said...my problem with INAV6.1 is that with my fixed wings planes, I have a difference in pitch trimming between acro mode and manual, and I noticed that in acro mode, on ground with motor turning, the elevator is not going back exactly to neutral when pitching the plane up or down, like it would be with a normal gyro...is that corrected with INAV 8?

[@mr_batch]

Nice conversation! This is what i call "real FPV", work together, not against... Thanks for that, stay healthy and happy flyin`

[@Painless360]

I couldn't agree more. Merry Christmas!

[@mr_batch]

@@Painless360 You too, Bro!

[@ApappieK]

Thanks to the dev team! This is progress. Again. Walksnail Gimbal, better acro for small wings, ADSB.. and more candy.

[@kevalinopicks5555]

Special thanks to all those involved in the incredible iNav system. I've been using iNav since 1.6 and the time and effort taken up to now is phenomenal. Unfortunately for me the video lost me about a minute into Marc's section😂. The beauty though is that despite this, I am confident of upgrading to 8 and just know it's going to work!

[@McLogo76]

Very interesting video! Looking forward to trying Inav 8, specially for the I term lock fix 👍🏽

[@qyitonefpv6551]

Adsb is exciting, a couple of us Inav testers will be receiving the Picoadsb rx testing soon. ADBS along with MLRS is going to be a game changer.

[@thompaulson5152]

Thanks for the vid I was scared to download it now I'm going for it on a couple

[@fanatic_joka]

I heard iNav Landing Video 💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@Painless360]

Yes you did! :D Marc was a big part of that code development. Stay tuned!

[@alexorlovecky6662]

Thank you for the overview! I have some issues with INAV 8.0 (RC1). My plane model uses INAV, and all the PIDs were adjusted in INAV 7. I copied them to the 8.0 version, and in ACRO and Angle mode, it flies excellently. However, when I switch to Auto mode, my plane starts to oscillate with the elevator. In version 7, I never saw PIDs for "Z position." Now, there are Z position PIDs and Z speed PIDs. Perhaps the default settings are not suitable for my model. I haven't found any manual on how to adjust these settings for planes.

[@Painless360]

I'd pop a question to the developers. I've not flown it on a wing yet... Best of luck

[@John-ob9je]

Looking forward to geo zones

[@AA-ou4zk]

Hi Mark, Would it be possible to add RTK support to iNav? Additionally, could we enable back support for the NMEA protocol? With this protocol, we could utilize very affordable GPS modules (L1+L5) that offer 1-meter precision, as well as RTK modules costing under $50. Thank you!

[@Painless360]

The best place to ask for this as a feature is via GitHub. I've just looked and can't see an open request...

[@revvy13]

Is v8 available now, or is it still an RC version? I'm excited about 8, but I make it a point to stick to final release versions instead of release candidates. (I'm just very careful)

[@Painless360]

RC3 is just out! :D

[@McShakyFPV]

I've heard that inav OSD affects the cpu especially the more elements you use vs Betaflight that doesn't affect the cpu. is this something to be concerned about?

[@qyitonefpv6551]

I can't give technical words on this, only that I fly long range digital, and analog. My osd is is stacked. There are no issues to be concerned about. I've seen at the most around an 18% cpu usage.

[@craigmichaelgrice213]

I hope that there is support for more flight controllers. Hglrc f722 mini v2 because it's almost plug and play.

[@b14ckyy]

is it the HGLRCF405V2 target? Its in the works but not fully validated yet. Maybe a 8.0.1 in worst case we will see.

[@grumpyoldnerd8727]

Unlikely. The F722 and F411 chips lack memory and are basically EOL for INAV. You will be able to use it, but it will be feature cut

[@craigmichaelgrice213]

It's hglc f722 mini v2 target. It's the fc and esc all in an aluminum box. Totally plug in except for soldering motors and battery leads. I think it's pretty good on bf4. 6 for the position hold and altitude hold. Inav would be better though l think?.

[@sptrader6316]

As a novice flyer, I had hoped for a more "perfected" auto landing feature. Is the update from Inav 7 easy to do ? (just copy the InAV7 settings ?)
