FCU and ESC Configuration - NOTES

5) Flash and configure INAV

• Flash official INAV 8.0.1 for your target (linked in docs/firmware.md).
• INAV Configurator → CLI → paste electronics/inav/configs/8.0.1//diff.txt → save.

• Calibrate accelerometer, magnetometer, radio; verify failsafe and motor order/direction.

• See INAV Configuration for details.
• Install INAV 8.0.1 for your board
• In INAV CLI: paste the diff from electronics/inav/configs/8.0.1//diff.txt.
• Safety: docs/build-manual/safety.md
• Flash the official INAV 8.0.1 for your flight controller target (linked in docs/firmware/).
• Apply the configuration diff at: electronics/inav/configs/8.0.1//diff.txt.

• Calibrate (accel, mag, radio) and verify failsafe before flight.

• Target firmware: INAV 8.0.1 for target (flight controller target)
  • We do not distribute INAV. Official releases: https://github.com/iNavFlight/inav/releases
• Apply configuration: electronics/inav/configs/8.0.1//diff.txt
• How: INAV Configurator → CLI → paste diff → save → reboot
• Instructions: docs/firmware/index.md
• Tuning and presets
  • Initial PID/rates and filters are noted in electronics/inav/configs/…/README.md

4) Flash iNav 8.0.1 to your FC target and apply config diff. 5) Validate motor order/direction; check OSD and failsafe.

Checklist

• Arming works only when safe (switch + checks).
• Failsafe behavior set (e.g., disarm or RTH if GPS present).
• OSD elements visible; voltage alarm configured.

Firmware (iNav) setup

We do not ship firmware binaries. We link to iNav and provide a reproducible configuration.

• Version: iNav 8.0.1
• Target: [e.g., MATEKF405] — see flight/inav/target.md
• Links: flight/inav/links.md (official release and Configurator)
• Apply config: 1) Flash iNav 8.0.1, then Reset to defaults once. 2) Configurator → CLI → paste flight/inav/config/inav-8.0.1/TARGET_/diff_all.txt 3) Enter `save`. Calibrate sensors, verify receiver and motor order.
• Reference:
  • dump_all.txt for verification
  • osd_layout.json and rates_pid_profiles.json (if provided)
• ESC:
  • See flight/esc/ notes for protocol (e.g., DSHOT600), bidirectional RPM, and motor directions.
• Target firmware: INAV 8.0.1 for target (flight controller target)
  • We do not distribute INAV. Official releases: https://github.com/iNavFlight/inav/releases
• Apply configuration: electronics/inav/configs/8.0.1//diff.txt
• How: INAV Configurator → CLI → paste diff → save → reboot
• Instructions: docs/firmware/index.md
• Tuning and presets
  • Initial PID/rates and filters are noted in electronics/inav/configs/…/README.md
