It is recommended to set Failsafe Stage 2 to “Drop”, so if the receiver loses contact with the transmitter for more than a certain time, then the FC turns off the motors. To configure the failsafe we need to access to an advanced configuration menu which can be activated by clicking on “Enable Expert Mode” like shown in the image below: We can enable VBAT to have battery voltage monitoring (remember we have also connected VBAT output from FC to the receiver to have telemetry on the transmitter) which is a must especially when flying in FPV so we can check on our monitor/goggles the current battery voltage through OSD. Under “Other Features” it is important (we see how much in the next post) to activate BLACKBOX and SDCARD since these are critical to have flight logs for post flight analysis, especially during the tuning phase when it is possible to use an SD card: class 10 is recommended, while the space required is not important since it will be used to store text files (2 GB is more than enough).Īlso OSD (On Screen Display) has to be activated to keep track of useful information on the FPV screen or goggles during the flight. Under “Receiver” we have to set Serial-based receiver (SPEKSAT,…) with “IBUS” selected in the drop down menu: In the “Configuration” tab we need to be sure DSHOT600 is selected and we can deactivate “MOTOR_STOP” switch (personal preference): If you have flashed or you are planning to flash the latest version of Betaflight firmware here is the setup and configuration on Betaflight 4.2 firmware, otherwise, if you have Betaflight 3.x firmware, stick with this guide.įirst, we need to correctly setup the ports on the FC in the “Ports” tab: since we are using FlySky X6B with i-BUS protocol we have to enable “Serial RX” on UART1, which is the port we have soldered receiver cables on:

Then, it is just a matter of connecting the quadcopter to the PC using a micro USB (Flight Controller) to USB (PC) cable and clicking on “Connect” to establish the connection. Once the application is correctly installed, it is possible to launch it. Both flight controller and GUI application are open source. Now we take a look at the setup and configuration of the quadcopter in Betaflight Configurator.īetaflight Configurator is a really popular application that allows to configure the aircraft via GUI and it can be downloaded as an extension for Google Chrome browser.

This will show you how to identify the connections on the various types of ESC and also how to connect them to each other and your flight controller.In the previous article we have seen an overview of the Eachine Wizard X220S and how to install the FlySky X6B receiver on it (if you have the RTF version I highly suggest to switch to this receiver due to its long range reception capability).

If you have read this guide and still need some help, or want someone to check your build please post a question of our friendly forums in the help section. So rather than writing another guide specific to some flight controller this guide will teach you the basic concepts to allow you to figure out how to hook just about anything FPV related.Ĭlick the links below to read up on how to connect the various aspects of your FPV quadcoper together. However, as you build more drones you will notice that there are alot of common ways to connect everything, even if the electronics are different. To make things worse some things in the hobby don’t always come with particularly great instructions. As a beginner it can be quite confusing when it comes to connecting all of your FPV quadcopter electronics for the first time.
