Flight Controller
Calibration
Before the first flight, the FC needs to know the absolute flat and level position relative to the earth's
surface. Calibrating the accelerometer and gyro is easily done using a bubble/spirit level and stick inputs
from the radio.
1. Power up the OBLIVION and radio, remaining disarmed for the duration of this process
2. Put the spirit level on one of the arms and put a pieces of paper underneath each arm to get an
absolute level reference
3. For the accelerometer, move the t hrottle stick up-left and p itch down-center , you will hear a
confirmation beep
4. Now for the gyro, move the t hrottle stick down-left and the p ick down-center
5. You can also do this in the first BetaFlight screen if you prefer a more visual calibration
For reference, see this list for all the BetaFlight stick operations (credit CleanFlight repository):
Note: stick-arming and disarming is disabled when arming via Switch C is enabled. Refer to
Betaflight/Cleanflight documentation for more info.
Flight modes
The OBLIVION has three flight modes to accommodate most flying styles.
Angle : Easy mode, similar to DJI Attitude mode, the roll and pitch axis are limited to 45 angle
●
Horizon : This mode is very flexible, there is no angle limit, you can do roll and barrels but if you let
●
go of the sticks (hands off the radio), the OBLIVION will stabilize automatically
Acro/AirMode : full manual mode, simple but allows full acrobatics, for experienced pilots/racing
●
Simulator
The OBLIVION is supported by the Velocidrone FPV simulator. If you would like to practice virtually before
hopping onto the real thing, perhaps saving you a few broken propellers at the same time. Visit our
website and click on "SIMULATOR" for more information.
