    Reviving gimbal of CGO3+?

    Good teacher ??. That's where I am at - tryin' to revive the original config, baselining and THEN go for the mods again, step by step. Shouldn't be telling to loud, as I earn my money by harassing our engineers to stick to the procedures and process planning. ?.

    Reviving gimbal of CGO3+?

    That's been on the to-do-list for today... unfortunately public transportation here had other plans ?, so I couldn't get to my work place where I would have had access to a full electronics workshop. Now I'll have to wait for Monday, but perhaps also the chance to have some of our R&D engineers...

    Reviving gimbal of CGO3+?

    It's off - so wifi interference is not the issue. I can also connect my smartphone to the camera. Everything's fine, except for the lack of the gimbal functionality.

    Reviving gimbal of CGO3+?

    It starts with red and blue LED, but then switches to a slow green blinking. During start-up it sounds 5 short beeps followed by a quieter melody like when starting the H itself. I don't get any of the failure codes described in the doc. Seems like I have to give the techs at Yuneec a call...

    Reviving gimbal of CGO3+?

    Pushing the reset buttons didn't make a change... gimbal motors remain limp ?. I would hate myself if I had killed a working CGO3+ by just disassembling and reassembling - ESD shock is something I would deny, as all took place on my ESD field mat. Any other ideas?

    Reviving gimbal of CGO3+?

    No connection been made... The Lepton module is completely separate and powered by a Raspberry PiZero, which shall also distribute the signal to WLAN. First attempt was to completely get rid off the CGO camera module, but giving it a second thought, why should I? But first of all, I need to get...

    Reviving gimbal of CGO3+?

    Hey folks! I disassembled one of my CGO3+ cams with the goal to add a FLIR Lepton sensor to it. So far so good. After reassembling everything, I now ended up with full camera control, but absolutely no gimbal reaction. The LEDs on the gimbal board show three short flashes blue and red when...

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

    Wow, NSMax found the holy grail ?! Do we know if it's really just the SD slot missing, or are there more changes on the boards?

    Hi Toni, no pressure! Just want to point out, how much all of your work is appreciated! Of course we're all looking forward to see the addressed problems solved and new features implemented. I'm sure, it's gonna be great. Kind regards, Armin

    Looking for pics INSIDE THE 920

    Perhaps, these might help? Otherwise, I have some boards laying around here, so if there is a special interest in a specific area, tell me. Kind regards, Armin

    New survey lists Yuneec as the #2 Worldwide Drone Manufacturer

    In regards of customer satisfaction and service Yuneec is lacking a lot - at least for the recreational/hobby customers. From my point of view, there's a huge gap between the HQs decisions and the local dependencies. Here at Germany there's nearly nothing to complain about regarding service or...

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

    Hi all, sorry for the late response, but I had a really troubled time at my job - the guys with the "big drones" aren't any better than us "hobby enthusiasts" ?. I finally got the Thunderbird back into the air safely and without any strange behavior, which is positive in the result, but I can't...

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

    Hey there! After playing a little bit around with Rattitude and Acro mode (I really have to get a little race quad ?) I set the third flight mode (lowest position on ST16 - switched the rth to the Aux button) back to "my normal" Mission Mode, went out to the field and wanted to do some flying in...

    CGO3+ lens distortion correction

    Owning 4 CGO3+ I recognized all of them are different regarding sharpness. One suffered from a horrible misaligned lens, which I could correct by removing and re-glueing it in a plane manner. But quality control at Yuneec really sucks at this matter.

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

    Hi all, did some more flight testing and recognized, that sometimes while switching from Stabilized Mode to Rattitude Mode the Landing Gear comes down. You can put it back to its retracted position by simply flipping the switch again. It's no issue, just wanted to let you know. Another...
