..But if you just want to do some photogrammetry with no HW tweaking or additional features, my advice is that just go and fly; the stock TH is surprisingly capable. ;) This is what I have done with the stock Typhoon: https://yuneecpilots.com/threads/3d-landscape-scanning.21633/#post-240381

Or lack of cameras and time. ;) Which camera would you like to drive? Would you like to attempt adding it by yourself? Need some help with that? Those RX/TX or PWM pins can be pretty freely mapped to do pretty much anything. The extendability was initially the reason why that project was...

At the moment the Thunderbird can control CGO3+'s pitch (sorry, edit ;)), and output PWM to its respective pin. CGO3+ works also as it is, shoot photos, videos, everything is there expect the modes where the camera drives the drone (CCC etc.) as I haven't yet implemented the full serial data...

Few degrees. :D I'm going to make a some kind of printable assembly jig for them. It's not that precise, the inclination is there to provide some yaw authority, that makes the Typhoon/TB so enjoyable to fly. Another drones with inclined motors (that I know/have flown) were DJI's S1000 airframes...

The LEDs are driven by the ESCs of the drone and they can be toggled if required. However at the moment, the ESC driver is using almost its full allocated memory, and that being one of the most critical components of the system, capable of spectacular malfunctions, I'm going to leave them just...

While the Thunderbird is as easy yet more comfortable to fly than the stock typhoon, it opens a whole new world of possibilities for aggressive/dynamic flying and automated missions. And with those, crashes may happen every now and then. As Yuneec's supply of spare parts and spare drones is what...

The ST24 should work with the MK58. That video is transmitted by it. They are just VERY glitchy (both the MK58 and ST24), and it may take multiple attempts to work. And you may need to connect manually via Android's settings to the camera wifi.. I could take a closer look at it if you need...

Thanks, I'll fix this to the next update ;)

Helmut has written an excellent tutorial how to flash and use the Thunderbird: Typhoon H 480 PX4 v1.10 (Stability issues ;-) Stock Yuneec firmware can not be restored, so the process is irreversible (unless you manage to dump the Yuneec's firmware from the STM32F4xx before reflashing it; ST's...

Here are STL and (a bit quick and messy) Fusion 360 archive file for the flashing adapter, connecting the production testing and flashing pads on the PCB. ;) Print it, add pogo pins, attach them with superglue, solder wires to the pogo pins and you're good to go ;) You may need to adjust the...

Hi Enrico, Here is my first attempt of the flashing tool, still some fine tuning to do before I can release the STL... ;)

That thing is pretty glitchy and not suitable for fast-paced FPV frankly... hope you'll have better luck with that than I. ;-) If I remember correctly, it won't work with ST16 even, only with the ST24 (or VLC etc). And its WiFi is even more glitchy than CGO3+'s. ;-) I have one to transmit data...
