Hi folks,

In the not-too-distant past, I used a larger drone with a Pixhawk flight controller. It was configured so that I had a switch on my Taranis that could put it in remove control mode ('stabilized' mode in ArduCopter, I think; but at any rate controlled with the joysticks), or put it in autonomy control ('guided' mode in Arducopter; it would receive waypoints or commands via MAVlink over a serial port connected to an onboard computer).

iNav appears to have some of the same basic functionality, but I can't quite parse the docs to figure out if I can do something similar. Is it theoretically possible?

If the iNav system can do this (allow waypoint injection or remote control), can the smaller boards like are on the Flywoo Firefly support this (do they have a spare serial port for input/output, via Mavlink or something else)?

Any thoughts or manual references appreciated.....

If you are interested in going that route, I would skip iNav and go with Arducopter.

The Flywoo 745 boards support Arducopter, including the F745 16x16 stack and the Goku 745 AIOs. Plenty of UARTs for mavlink telemetry along with GPS and anything else you want to add.

A reasonable answer. I haven't taken a look recently, but a survey of current LR fliers might come up with something off the shelf that could be loaded with Arducopter. (It's not that I can't build one, it's that I'd rather spend my time flying/tinkering/programming than building....)

I believe the Flywoo Explorer LR V2 4" comes with the 745 16x16 stack standard. Could be a good starting point.
