    CGO 3 Replacement Pitch Magnet

    No, the Windows drivers offer an abstact COM port independent from USB-HW. The tool only sees this port. The only restriction is that the serial connection Rx/Tx have 3.3V level and the chip is fast enough to provide the baudrate (which I think all convertes do). I have FTDI chips in use as well...

    CGO 3 Replacement Pitch Magnet

    You have connection with the USB-Serial converter - good. No driver or Windows problem. I think the tool sends messages (I don't see the status bar). But there is no answer from the gimbal. My first thought is that Rx and Tx are interchanged. Swap it and try again. Another idea is to try baud...

    CGO 3 Replacement Pitch Magnet

    There are not so many gimbal FW versions. I think, no. If you unplug the dongle and double click on the port list one COM port should disappear. When you plu in the dongle and double click on the port list the COM port of the dongle should be added to the list. This is then the COM port for the...

    CGO 3 Replacement Pitch Magnet

    Do other CGO3P connect? What OS do you use, Windows? Beep Code means gimbal is working, it should connect. What is the message in status bar of the tool if click 'Connect'? What happens if you double click on the port selection box? A list of available ports should appear in the text box.

    CGO 3 Replacement Pitch Magnet

    An interesting question. That makes me go down to the basement and to have a look on a defect GB203. And yes, that are the same magnet rings (Ø3,5mmm x Ø2mm x 1,5mm). You can earn three of them per GB203 because the yaw motor has the same.

    The elusive calibration software

    I have used different USB-Serial converter with FTDI chip and with CP2102 or CP2104. Also a YUNA100 which I have from my Q500. The converter must have 3.3V signal (Rx/Tx) and GND. That's it, all working. This red one in your collection looks like the one I have in use.

    ST16s not binding to H plus

    Drone and camera are two independent systems. Drone is bound, good. You can fly but without telemetry. The camera offers a normal WiFi hotspot with SSID and password to login by any device. It has a DHCP server to distribute the IP addresses in the network 192,168.42,0/24. That means the camera...

    Help Updating Typhoon H – ST16 & Aircraft Firmware Mismatch (TX/RX Fail)

    This sounds like a HW problem.The ST24 is this module, check if connector is sitting on place. Sometime disconnect and connect helps. Do not touch antennas. I'm not 100% sure but there should be a orange LED (the SR24 in the drone has it for sure). Blinking means waiting on connection. Solid...

    Help Updating Typhoon H – ST16 & Aircraft Firmware Mismatch (TX/RX Fail)

    In camera selection you should have: C-GO3 - this is for CGO3+ but without advanced camera settings. C-GO3-Pro - also for CGO3+ but has advanced camera settings, this should be used, also for photo/video noobs like me C-GoET - for the thermal camera C-Go4 - This is only for the H920Plus with...

    CGO-ET H520

    Today I had my first test flight with Thunderbird and H520 CGO-ET inspecting my solar power system (which appears to be good). The same will work with H480, of-course.

    Typhoon H 480 PX4 v1.10 (Stability issues ;-)

    No. Maybe messages with 0xBC magic or those nested in YMAV messages with magic 0xFE.

    CGO-ET H520

    Hi Enrico - let it be a H520 cam. After conversation with @WTFDproject I think it works. At least by changing the gimbal boards. I can control the E90 family with ESP32, so this will perfectly work with H520-CGOET on Thunderbird, H920 or H480.
