Beginner guy here… im sorry to ask a bit of a stupid question. I want to install an airspeed sensor on the xiake800 and recently baught a job lot of sensors on ebay. Im having trouble working out what the pinouts are on an airspeed sensor.
There are literally no labels on the board. I assume its an analogue airspeed sensor, but im not sure ( because it has 4 output pins instead of the 3 usual pins an analogue airspeed sensor has). Is anyone familiar with this board ? If so does anyone know the pinouts? Anyone know of any documentation online about this board or know who the manufacturer is?
Good day,
since last week I am the owner of the XIAKE 800. That’s how long I’ve been trying to get it to run. The documentation was very clear: there was none. He can not be armed by me. At first I suspected the receiver
In the meantime I am not sure anymore. I read a lot of hints, instructions and ideas in Ardupilot.org, but I don’t really get further. In parallel I emailed the dealer in China.
I am grateful for help.
I have attached a link to a logfile.
See you later
Now I have disabled the arming for testing. It is now armed, but the motors do not turn. They don’t even twitch. When testing in the mission planner, they spin fine. All other functions are there.
Yes finally i have the setup good with the upgrade Jumper flight controller. Because there is also no manual with the upgrade controller, it take a while to figured it out. The main setup was the servo output and specially from the tilt-motor servo’s. Because i am more like a newbe i watch the setup from the old flight controller in Mision Planner. But now he is good. I have done 4 flight test and also with a 2 bf wind. Looks like in Q-stabalize its a little more stable, but i said a little. Steering in hover mode just a little difficult, just like the old one. So is it a improvement? I don’t know maybe i am now a more better pilot as before. I had more than 20 flights with the old flight controller. One day plane crashed very hard by switching from Q-stabalize to FBWA, also a windy day. Damage was very big, i had to rebuild the plane with a new fuselage. I have 2 Xiake 800. The second plane also crashed very hard by swiching from FBWA to Cruise mode. Reason why he crashed i still don’t know. The only reason was maybe what Budgie has wrote in Discord: I had the power from the vtx set from 200mw to 800mw. Now i leave on both planes my VTX on 200mw. Also the second plane crash was big, Fuselage damage, also rebuild this plane with new fuselage, but he has the old flight controller. So once again, is the new upgrade jumper flight controller better? Now i said no, maybe after more flight test and more compare with my other plane with the old flight controller, i shall than give an update. I forgat to say looks like the upgrade flight ontroller with aslo the upgrade powerboard ( you must buy both, the old powerboard can you not connect on the upgrade flight controller) uses more power than the old powerboard. I think my flight is now 3 a 4 minutes shorter
Have you had any success in the meantime? I would also like to flash an official BLHeli version to remove all shackles and possibly install BlueJay as well.
But unfortunately I don’t know which target to use either…
By the way my Xiake 800 crashed very hard (again) The one with the uprgrade fc and upgrade powerboard. Looks like the tailmotor stops to late if i switch to fbwa . I had it before, the first time it crash and had a little damage, i could glue the fuselage and had to change one tilt servo. After that i had number of good fly test. But by the last test again and i was to slow switching back to Q-stabelize, and crash very hard. Again fuselage total damage. Also one conector from powerboard on fc damage. I think i stop putting money in the Xiake 800. I still got one Xiake 800 with the old fc.
That doesn’t sound good. I have not even gotten beyond the hover so far. The USB-C port broke off when I plugged in the USB cable. The solder joint must have been defective. I sent the flight controller to the dealer in China under warranty. Should I better put in the Speedybee F405 Wing as well? I am not sure.
