GCO3+ slip ring replaced

[rumj48]

Replaced a slip ring to a crashed GCO3+ gimbal with a spare slip ring and motor from other camera, now the camera is spinning 360º pretty fast, the only way to stop it is by calibrating the gimbal , but at calibration end keep spinning.
Any ideas
The four screws that attach the mount to the top motor
what could be the problem, Thank you

Which motor did you replace? Did you also replace the encoder associated with the motor?
Do you have the original motor/encoder, and can they be re-installed if needed?

Yes, I used the bottom mount with the motor, encoder, and slip ring, did not have to do nothing with the slip ring wires, just connect to the gimbal board of the crashed H. Did not pay attention to align correctly the four screws pictured in WTFD project, but don not think this is the cause of the gimbal spinning.

The issue is the original motor and encoder were used for the real original calibration. You have inadvertently installed a problem because the magnet on the new motor is in a different position, and the encoder likely has some differences. The "Gimbal Calibration" provided by the ST16 is not the full gimbal calibration at all. It does nothing to establish or correct the Yaw (spin) reference points.
If you can reinstall the original Encoder and Motor there is a very good chance the camera can be recovered.
Be sure to mark the "front" of the original motor prior to removal from its lower mount. If that is no longer possible, it is only a one out of four chance of getting it right, of course.
Let us know if it winds up stable but facing the wrong direction.

Appreciate the information, Just like to say that I already removed the original motor because the mount was broken.

Hope can to do it right.

Thank you very much, it was a prompt and very useful answer

!Very happy! , spend some hours assembling the gimbal with the original parts and it worth, the camera is back, everything seems working well, no winding and pointing front. The WTFD project is the Bible for us Yuneec pilots, with your help and knowledge we are able to keep flying this old but great Yuneec drones.
