Please read the release notes carefully and upgrade INAV Configurator application.

INAV is and will remain open-source and free, but you are more than welcome to support the development.

This release was supported by our awesome sponsors CarbonBird.com, Airbot, ADPM Drones and a number of supporters on Patreon.

Increased VBAT resolution

The battery voltage resolution has been increased from 100mV to 10mV. In consequence the vbat_scale, vbat_max_cell_voltage, vbat_warning_cell_voltage and vbat_min_cell_voltage settings resolution has also been increased 10 fold allowing more precise battery voltage calibration and battery voltage thresholds. To restore old configuration settings users need to multiply their old setting values by 10.

New defaults for these settings:

  • vbat_scale: 1100 (was 110)
  • vbat_max_cell_voltage: 430 (was 43) or 4.3V/cell
  • vbat_warning_cell_voltage: 350 (was 35) or 3.5V/cell
  • vbat_min_cell_voltage: 330 (was 33) or 3.3V/cell

CLI parameter renaming / new parameters

New parameters have been introduced. Some CLI parameters were renamed to support new features or to better reflect their meaning:

Name Description
rangefinder_median_filter Default is OFF
baro_median_filter Default is ON
failsafe_lights Enable or disable the lights when the FAILSAFE flight mode is enabled. The target needs to be compiled with USE_LIGHTS [ON/OFF]. Default is ON
failsafe_lights_flash_period Time in milliseconds between two flashes when failsafe_lights is ON and FAILSAFE flight mode is enabled [40-65535]. Default is 1000ms.
failsafe_lights_flash_on_time Flash lights ON time in milliseconds when failsafe_lights is ON and FAILSAFE flight mode is enabled. [20-65535]. Default is 100ms.
battery_capacity Set the battery capacity in mAh or mWh (see battery_capacity_unit). Used to calculate the remaining battery capacity. Default is 0
battery_capacity_warning If the remaining battery capacity goes below this threshold the beeper will emit short beeps and the relevant OSD items will blink. Default is 0
battery_capacity_critical If the remaining battery capacity goes below this threshold the battery is considered empty and the beeper will emit long beeps. Default is 0
battery_capacity_unit Unit used for battery_capacity, battery_capacity_warning and battery_capacity_critical [MAH/MWH] (milliAmpere hour / milliWatt hour). Default is MAH
manual_rc_expo Exposition value used for the PITCH/ROLL axes by the MANUAL flight mode [0-100]. Default is 70
manual_rc_yaw_expo Exposition value used for the YAW axis by the MANUAL flight mode. Default is 20
manual_pitch_rate Servo travel multiplier for the PITCH axis in MANUAL flight mode [0-100]%. Default is 100%
manual_roll_rate Servo travel multiplier for the ROLL axis in MANUAL flight mode [0-100]%. Default is 100%
manual_yaw_rate Servo travel multiplier for the YAW axis in MANUAL flight mode [0-100]%. Default is 100%
gps_ublox_use_galileo Enable use of Galileo satellites. This is at the expense of other regional constellations, so benefit may also be regional. Requires M8N and Ublox firmware 3.x (or later) [OFF/ON]. Default is OFF
smartport_fuel_unit Unit of the value sent with the FUEL ID through the S.Port telemetry. Replaces the smartport_fuel_percent setting [PERCENT/MAH/MWH]. Default is PERCENT
osd_stats_energy_unit Unit used for the drawn energy in the OSD stats [MAH/WH] (milliAmpere hour/ Watt hour). Default is MAH
osd_main_voltage_decimals Number of decimals for the battery voltages displayed in the OSD [1-2]. Default is 1
osd_wh_drawn_pos
osd_bat_remaining_capacity_pos
osd_bat_remaining_percent_pos
osd_efficiency_mah_pos
osd_efficiency_wh_pos
display_force_sw_blink
mag_to_use Allow to chose between built-in and external compass sensor if they are connected to separate buses. Currently only for REVO target
nav_fw_launch_min_time Allow launch mode to execute at least this time (ms) and ignore stick movements [0-60000]. Default is 0
nav_fw_launch_max_altitude Altitude (centimeters) at which LAUNCH mode will be turned off and regular flight mode will take over [0-60000]. Default is 0
