    CGO3+ with ST16 but without drone

    I'm trying to use the CGO3+ with a H920. Tilt was not possible with the PWM signal from H920 flight controller. CGO3+ is only working with H920+. The idea is now to take the channel data from SR24 and control the CGO3+. As first step it works for the CGO3+. Now I have a camera that can be used...

    Help: Chroma Blade Drone With Yuneec CG03 Gimble/Camera

    I believe he refers to the Update Board: Chroma, BLH8605. There is little support. by quick search I found one in Switzerland: https://planet-rc.ch/blh8605-chroma-update-board-36956 Best way to get a source is to search for BLH8605.

    Need help with H520e and controller

    Yuneec made several changes in PX4 Autopilot for their drones (i.e. H Plus, H520, H520E). Do never use PX4 firmware from main branch. It will brick your drone. Be careful. Better to keep it as it is. What FW versions do you actually have? A graet source for Yuneec firmware/software is...

    Blade Chroma, need Manuals, Binding

    I would create a new model before setup and bind both, camera and drone. It's a better start point if we do not know what happened before with the drone. Nothing may be wrong with it but better to be on the safe side, I have a couple of models on my ST10 for different purposes. Having more than...

    Flying Typhoon H Plus after several years

    It is not difficult, not dangerous and does not hurt to look at the flight logs after the flight. But you can see quite well how the battery behaves under load and can compare it with previous flights to see a trend and so on...

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

    Those pins belongs to ESC control.

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

    Is this an optical flow sensor? On which port did you connect it? Do you know where Serial 1 is assigned to HW port? Serial1 (tty1?) not working means no HW or no SW function? Are you able to compile, link and make the Thunderbird FW? I failed to do that.

    Camera

    If the camera tilts (up and down) the gimbal is OK. Is the front LED of the camera on, if yes what color? Green blinking means waiting on WiFi connection. In this case the WiFi module is OK but the controller is not bound. If it remains white the WiFi module on the camera may be defect.

    GPS not working

    Another message is SYS_STATUS. Here we should see what HW sensors are present and working (and if there is a second GPS/compass). Example is from H Plus.

    GPS not working

    I have no experience with H520E but the principles are always the same for PX4 based drones. The compass and the GPS are on the same module but different systems. The compass is connected to I²C bus and the GPS is connected to a dedicated serial connection (UART). Once the I²C bus has a problem...

    Help: Chroma Blade Drone With Yuneec CG03 Gimble/Camera

    You can try to calibrate it with the CGO3oldCali tool. I have successfully calibrated a GB203 gimbal which has the same control board. Download page: Downloads

    Help: Chroma Blade Drone With Yuneec CG03 Gimble/Camera

    The Chroma flies good without camera. It makes more fun and allows to use Acro mode. Camera is only ballast.

    Help: Chroma Blade Drone With Yuneec CG03 Gimble/Camera

    Can you make a picture of the current situation? The gimbal board wiring is here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1st4f6ltjc2kj9rl1phtt/CGo3-Gimbal-Board-Connectors.pdf?rlkey=g69tmfp1p80j29ckodj28xgyq&e=1&dl=0 More info: WTFD project, table of content...

    Typhoon H Motor Noise

    There is no iOS version, only for MacOS. The Windows version is not working with Windows on ARM processors. Edit: Also no MacOS version (that exists only for the old Q500 GUI which is not usable for Typhoon H).

    Hi! from the Ozarks

    Welcome to this forum. Q500 is a classic drone and a very good start for an experienced RC enthusiast who normally feel that modern drones are toys. At least I do. Have fun and fly safe.
