Steve Carr... I have a used Q500 that I am trying to connect to the GUI but before i attempted that i had to remove an ESC because it would emit a puff of smoke whenever the bird was powered up, I get a GPS sensor not detected message and the ST10+ will not see the 2.4ghz receiver in the bird...

:mad:

GUI is red for GPS says "GPS sensor not found".

I also put the top of the body with good gps sensor onto the bottom of the problem drone and it still behaves the same as the one with the bad gps, i guess i just don't know where to start the process of elimination.

I don't understand what you mean, are you saying that I need a new transceiver and a new GPS sensor? If yes, that would be a lot of $$$$$$, plus 2 ESCs, maybe I should just sell it for parts.

Oh, forgot to mention that i can't get the st10 to see the bird

And actually, the plug for the 2.4ghz receiver in the wing strut fits two different connections, My 2.4ghz receiver chip gets super hot, why would that be, what is the heavy clear plastic around it and what is the button on it for? of course, like a typical guy thing, I pushed the button, don't...

Oh man!!! I didn't see your numbered explanations to my questions, This helps a lot!!

Thank you, that's about all i could find on the interwebs too, i think i figured it out, i took the top of the body with the GPS sensor in it and connected it to the main board in my other Q500, that drone started doing the same thing so I've narrowed it down to the GPS sensor, that and i have...

If someone can tell me where to find pictures of all the circuit boards and how they are connected together, that would be great, I need to see if I hooked everything up correctly.

I guess I'll start listing and anyone can jump in with opinions or advice. 1. I crashed my Q500, bad but all circuit boards and wiring looked fine. 2. I transferred the innards to a new airframe. 3. One ESC is bad, when I power up a component on the ESC emits a puff of smoke. 4. I removed...

I need help with rebuild problems, technical stuff, please.

There is a firmware update for my ST10+, I can't get the controller to see it on the micro sd card, i was able to update the RX file but not the TX.[emoji21]
