 Hi guys So in this video, we're going to go over calibrating for level the flight controller Now you may not always have a flight controller Which is that easy calibrator might be in your model The flight controller may already be in there It might be a bit of a pain in the backside to pull that out to do a bench calibration I'm going to show you what you can do about that in a minute But first of all You're probably going to be at the stage anyway You know you're not going to build everything into your model and then start Setting up calibrating you're going to do quite a bit in front of you on the bench And this is the first bit that we're going to be doing. We are going to be setting this up for level I'm going to do it with an eye now and we're going to do it With a couple of wires hanging there because you may you know started doing this and but you really want to do This at the start and get this part Out of the way, so let's just plug in here Just get it something to be a natural thing. It doesn't really matter I'm not quite sure what this cable is like anymore So it might fail part where you're giving it because of the cable I'm just going to swap the cables up. I'm going to plug it into the flight knob And let's give it a few seconds so he knows it's there Do do do It's taking its time, isn't it? What's going on? There is something on this What's going to find out. Let's just see what lets me connect. It's not going to let me connect like that My new selection it says Skipee did it. That's a little bit weird. Oh, okay. Well, this could be A Driver issue, so let's just let's just see we can press in the button here putting it in. Let's see if we can de-affure it Okay, it's happy with the DFU So let's pull it back out again And we're just going to try one time just before we adjust the drivers and we're getting nothing Okay, this is something that you may experience. It's just saying up there on the left-hand side Look in red failed to open serial port Okay, that's fair enough. This could be because now our drivers I'm not doing what we're supposed to do that's fine. So what we're going to do then is we're going to just go into the machine here We are going to go into our settings We're going to sorry into the device manager Open that up and we're going to plug in again Just wait was And we're going to see our device now basic what we want to do is we want to see our device in The ports calm LPD. Oh, we haven't got it there. So what we're going to do is we're going to go down the bottom here And we're going to find it down here There's a serial bus devices. There's our SP SP Racing for Eva now. We don't want that there. We want that in the ports calm and LPD LPT So we're going to do a right click on this and we're going to update the driver Okay, we're going to browse the computer for folders and we're going to We're going to let me pick from a list of available Folders and here we go. This is what we need now What board are we using here? We're using the Matec F405 so we don't want that SP racing F4 F4 Eva Do you know I'm just going to go on the compound hit next So let's take a check of that and now we want to see in the comp or there we have now got the STM ST micro electronics That in the comp or so that's quite good. We just get over Run through that just in case it comes up with something else That's what you want to do you take it from the bottom down there and just bring it up into this comp or here And now if you can see on the screen there, it says comm 6 is available for us to use And there we are we can move this around and our craft moves around just as it should excellent Now we're going to go in and we're going to calibrate The accelerometer Okay, now as you can see on the screen there. You've got a Grade out. I've got step one step two step three Doesn't matter which way around you do this it senses What you're doing and it will adjust it for you. All right, so if let's say on this one the The arrow is pointing to my right there if we look on the Screen just had the quad if I point the arrow to the right you see it goes forward It goes forward there. So I always point in the right direction So it should be quite simple for us to do this But sometimes it's not like that you've got to adjust the orientation of it Okay, but for this particular one, you'll find out why I choose these boards and part of it's because they're very easy to use Yeah, I don't look for the most difficult part Now this is the OSD, but the one that we're actually going to be switching over to is the STD which is the one that I would suggest if you're gonna buy one of these buy one of them Because they work and they've got everything that you need so you can set up your GPS to compose everything Everything's on there enough For we connections and that's another thing about these boards a lot of it's all about serial ports. How many things can you connect? More importantly, so right? Let's go through and we're going to do our calibration So basically we're just gonna move over here And this and this boom button now it's ready to be hit and we're gonna start the calibration process So it's gonna ask for the first step for it to be like this Now there's a reason why I've got these three on here because when you got wires on it It's quite hard to get a flat level or anything, but I've got these three on here. So I can just push it down And I know this bench is reasonably It's reasonably level, you know, it's probably not gonna be the most level bench But it doesn't matter because when you're flying Even when it says like there's no real wind on the day There's always a bit of a movement and the craft because it's hovering And if you don't have it GPS locked It's gonna move a little bit. It's gonna do this anyway, but if it's doing it too much one way all the time That's when you can very easily use your sticks to To adjust that very very easily you don't have to have it on the bench or anything You can adjust that you can bring it back down to a few little stick stick tweaks put it back up in the air again Yeah, it's about where you want it good and you go from there So let's just do this calibration here for the first step First one is up there, so I'm just gonna hold these down like that personally and hit that So I'm gonna say, okay Let me just Okay, one of me to press it. Yeah, so you got that one and now we're gonna turn them over I hope you would have to do the whole thing again and now you can see why I've got these three on there It's because now I can turn that over and you've got all the gizmos Components and devices on the other side of the board. So now we're gonna hit this one Processing we got that one Let's just go along with the same Way as the board so we're gonna put that down and again I can just press these down on here and get a pretty level even though I've got wires and bits and pieces And it gives me that like that And then we're gonna go upwards Same here with this same thing. It doesn't matter exactly, but we've got a We've already got any movement, you know the that way in this way because of these down here I can keep it steady like this. Let's just process that again. Oh I must try to keep them in the middle and now we're gonna be going the other way Round which should be then this way and this is where we're gonna have a bit of a problem But if you just have a box or something anything, you see there's a little switch There's the button for the boot that you press underneath there You see this you got the boot button there Just there and we don't want to press on that while we're doing this We're just gonna put that down as best as we can because you remember it's not gonna be perfect. It doesn't have to be Doesn't have to be but you want to get it as good as you can But you don't have to be too Do not it's about it again on this one because of the cable coming out here Not the greatest on having a right angle cable there. Never mind. It doesn't matter. I'll do it on here Just turn that round just for ease of use and just get these two said all as much as I can and then just Hit that so now we've got up from the screen ever Calibration finished a seven-ometer calibration finished check of values have been saved. All right, so what we're gonna do now is we're gonna say okay to that We can see that's there and We are now just gonna do a Saving reboot just when you're sure But that stays in the way that we want Okay Okay, and the accelerometer calibrated is there if I can ever find there we go Xoron accelerometer calibrated It's all good and because of that the original peripherals on here as such like Compass or anything like that or GPS, but there's nothing else to calibrate So absolutely this is ready to fly and it will self level You know when you go the rest of the bits and pieces of stash to it So that's that oh Yeah, just before I forget about it. I did tell you I'll tell you you see this Once you've got your flight controller in your craft. It's not gonna be that easy to do this But what you can do is Why you're setting up this one lovely things about this you can go into what we call command-line interface a CLI and you can type in Just put diff diff All and hit return now what you get now in here is All of the adjusted variables Because it's different and all what we've got here is we've got our With a whole bunch of pins and that that's what's being set up and tuned for us via the selecting of the presets They've been set up for us, but the part that we are gonna want to keep is the accelerometer And that you can just copy and paste from here You can copy and paste All of you that once you've set up I would copy and paste all of it I wouldn't just copy and paste the whole lot back in if you're setting up fresh firmware But definitely for things like your level so the accelerometer You don't have to set that up again You could literally just save this in notepad or whatever it is You want to save it in a text editor and then you can copy these back for reference and just paste it by taking this Copy it type just just pasting it into the command line here and then hitting return You'll see it come up on here that it's adjusting the the actual Accelerometer and then save and that's it reboot and you can use that then every single time So once you get that tuned up the way you like it up in the air Bring it in load it into the CLI and Bring out those those accelerometer Settings and then save them and you'll know them for that particular craft. It doesn't matter what happens. You can just Re-copy and paste those back in for every update even if it's a major update Well, you know, you don't want to just be copy and paste lots of stuff You can do that. You can do the same sort of thing if you're LED setup It seems sort of thing for your on-screen display setup rather than having to do it over and over again You just take all the settings all the different settings that you've made adjustments to when you start to setting up from the from the base settings Which is diff or all the different settings all the all the differences made all of them And have them printed out on the screen and just take what you need when you set them again to make it easier
