Some of us are going to be having two ZeroUAV systems. ZeroUAV support have told us how we can link the two systems to one router. Not tested yet, but as soon as I get my YS-X4, I will.
To set the Router up so that you can use one router with a number of Auto Pilots:
Say you want to use one router with a YS-X6 and a YS-X4
The wifi of ys-x4 default work mode is router , that mean it need use with the router . the SSID :ZERO-TECH password: 82890430 so you need setup the router : SSID and password the same as the ys-x4 wifi mode .
Then you need change the wifi mode of ys-x6 .
If the led of wifi mode is blue , that you need use the router , to change the wifi SSID and password .
If the led of wifi mode is red , that you can use the wifi config software, see below, to change the wifi SSID and password.
Then you can use one router .

I have just connected the YS-X4 wifi module to the same router used for the YS-X6

So while it is still fresh in my mind, let me try and tell you what I did.

I connected to my router using the SSID for the YS-X6 that I have. Found this to be the easier solution.

Changed the SSID on the router to ZERO-TECH

Connected the battery to the YS-X4 wifi module

Ran Wifi Config.exe

Pressed “search” button – top left

Once it identified the wifi module then hit button “get config” bottom middle

It then loaded up the wifi SSID in the top right centre

I then changed the SSID to YS-X6-serial number. (whatever your YS-X6 serial number is)

Pressed apply button on the bottom

Then went into my router and changed the SSID back to YS-X6-Serial number

And that’s is it. Now both are connected to the same router using your YS-X6 SSID

I did try and do it the other way around, but I was not successful. This works for me, so thats all I need.

Cheers
Rob

I have just taken my wifi version YS-X4 out for its 1st flight. Used my android tablet in Hotspot mode to check the settings and calibrate the compass.

The flight was really just to check the settings and see if everything was calibrated and setup correctly.

But, wow....this is good. Took off in manual mode and it was a perfect take off. Did this a few times. Then took off in Auto Pilot/GPS mode flew around in this mode and it was brilliant. Let go the sticks and it sits. This is exactly what I want for flying FPV. Landing in GPS mode is a breeze.

System used:
Frame: CarbonCore 500x4
Motors: MT2216-11
ESC: RC Tiger T30A
Props: APC SF 10x4.7
Auto Pilot : ZeroUAV YS-X4

As a flight Controller, this is superb. Chucked it around and it handled extremely well.

I haven't tried the RTH or any of the other features yet, but knowing the YS-X6, I am sure they work just as well.

Excuse the ESC's just hanging around. They are going to get packed away now that I know everything is connected correctly :)

I normally do not like selling to people outside of my Country as it is difficult to provide a good support and also shipping costs are high, but if you want me to, I will be prepared to sell you one.

nice to hear some first impressions!

a general question because you mention fpv
I am big fan of simple and minimalistic setups and also as little things to set up for a shoot as possible

so is there a reason to fly this big wifi module around? ok for tuning its nice to have, but after?
I am not intrested in wayponist or anythink more complicated then dynamic position hold and retur to home
I have a battery warning already through my video link....so all I could think of is loss of gps warning ...couldnt that be outputted to a buzzer somehow? yes ...I fly with audio :)

thanks

Just tested the YS-X4 on an X-8. The setup pretty much out of the box. It seems that once the altitude hold is on while flying in altitude hold mode or GPS mode, the motors start to oscillate. Its restless. Actually my YS-X6 does the same. Tried to put the values down, but its still restless. On the manual mode its much better (video from 0:28) Any ideas? Here´s the video:

Hi Rob, seems to have moved on a lot since the Xaircraft days, thanks for your kind offer, I just had an email from a UK supplier of the X6 but they are not sure they will carry the X4.
Thanks

Please don't remind me of those days :upset:

Its a pleasure. IMO they are making a mistake if they decide not to stock the YS-X4.

Anyway, let me know if you are interested, and I am sure we can make a plan.

Cheers
Rob

I have never tried, but I am sure you can remove the Wifi module. I never fly with it either. I only use it to have a look at the battery voltage now and then.
