    H520 Startup Issue

    Sorry, just seeing this. I got it back on June 10th. I haven't even put a battery in it yet. It's been super windy and raining ever since. I guess I could hook it up to QGroundControl without a battery to make sure it does what it's supposed to. I might do that this evening and report back.

    H520 Startup Issue

    Chatted with TI today through email. He said it was bricked, likely from a bad update. He flashed it, and everything seems good. They're going to fly it before they send it back to me. I'm not exactly sure how that happened, because I bought it in December and updated it to the newest software...

    H520 Startup Issue

    I got an email from TI today, giving me an estimate on repairs. It just had parts cost and labor cost on it. According to the estimate, it's just going to cost me an hour of labor. Apparently the motherboard is perfectly fine. I didn't get the email until after they were closed, so I wasn't able...

    It's on its way to Terrestrial Imaging now.

    Gotcha! Thanks for explaining that.

    H520 Startup Issue

    Interesting take. I'm not an electronic guru, so I don't know. Just playing devil's advocate here, because I really don't know how this works. I know the flow of electricity and how things work in general, just not the technical part of small electronics. The drone with carbon fiber legs (decent...

    @DoomMeister Is the MOSFET the same thing as the IMU? That's all I'm getting in a quick Google search.

    H520 Startup Issue

    A little update, and I hope it's what you are thinking. I spoke to the Carolina Dronz technician. That's where I originally bought it, and they've done me right in the past. He thought it was the IMU module on top of the motherboard. Since I also have an H Plus and the IMU is the same, I tried...

    H520 Startup Issue

    Interesting. I was told that it needs the battery to boot up when plugged in.Every time I've downloaded from my H520 and H Plus, I've put the battery in. If that's not the case, then I won't ever put a battery in again. Makes sense though, if it's just a storage device at that point.

    Quick cellphone video of what I'm trying to explain.

    H520 Startup Issue

    Sorry, I was still trying to get it to work when I posted this thread. Still not working. Let me start by saying, I am very familiar with Yuneec drones. I have a Q500, H Plus, and H520 with multiple cameras. I use the H Plus and H520 for my business and have many hours with each. The issue with...

    H520 Startup Issue

    I took it outside and flew 2 batteries, just to drain them. Nothing special, just mostly hovering without an SD card. I took it inside and connected it to my computer. I have several flights that I want to upload to my Drone Logbook. Initially, I forgot to put an SD card in it, and not sure it...

    St16s range?

    I'm not going to argue with anyone how far I can see my drone. I couldn't care any less about what you think. I don't have time to get in a pissing match with a bunch of old guys with poor vision on the internet. I have NEVER lost sight of it, and never will. My 107 means way too much to me. I...

    St16s range?

    I know this doesn't help with your issue, but just as a reference, I have flown my H Plus over 4,000ft away at 400AGL, with the stock patch antenna. That's where I started losing sight and hit the home button. It still had a good, clear connection.

    Stickers for Typhoon H from www.uavstickers.com

    Just find a friend's wife who has a Cricut at home. They love cutting vinyl for stuff like this.
