Looking to mess up a perfectly good ST16.
- Thread starter WTFDproject
- Start date
Is the ST16/Q500/CGO3 video downlink fix to update the CGO3 with the latest Q500/CGO3 firmware;
cgo3gb_2.4.00_A_firmware.bin
or to update the CGO3 with the latest H/CGO3+ firmware:
cgo3+gb_3.2.34_LC2_A_firmware_30234.bin
If I get the ST16 to play nice with the Q500/CGO3 will I be able to go back to using the ST10?
Thanks,
RG
Thanks for this! I have my Q500 and ST16 working in Blue Mode
Too bad we can't have Red Mode 
However, I doubt the stock Q500 has the authority to fly in rate mode without additional tuning.RG
The cgo3gb_2.4.00_A_firmware.bin will provide pretty decent onscreen video. I was never able to get a CGo3 to accept the CGo3+ firmware.
The CG03+ video does not work well at all with an ST10. If you change the CG03 processor to a CG03+ processer, and I suspect if you find a way to update CGo3 Firmware to CGo3+ firmware, you will find the CGo3+ video displayed on an ST10 is not even close to being useable.
Yikes, the CGO android app allows one to choose between 480p/CGO3 or 720p/CGO3+ downlink resolution to mitigate the bandwidth difference between the CGO3 and CGO3+. Too bad the ST16 expects 720p which causes the poor CGO3 to choke due to lack of bandwidth. Perhaps there's another hidden egg in the ST16 to accept 480p that hasn't been discovered yet...

FWIW, I succeeded in pulling the model file from an ST10. Used Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to do it. On an ST10 the models are stored in a single SQLite database file. The file can be viewed using an SQLite browser app. Notice that there doesn't appear to be consistency in the "type, 40x" parameter between the ST10 and ST16. I suppose it would be possible to edit the parameters in an ST10 model file, such as rates and expo, and push the model file back to the ST10, similar to using the Channel Settings tab to edit a model on an ST16.
DB Browser for SQLite

This may be an older thread but i have a question . Im also messing about with the q500 4k and st16 controller,which bound easily . flies fine and all controls work as does watch me and follow me . flies faster with the st16 which was the first thing i noticed.
Ok my question , battery low warning comes on after a few mins in flight due i expect to the st16 thinks its bound to a H not a Q . the H battery voltage is 16.8 and low battery would be at 14, the Q has a charge of 12 and the st10+ would give a low battery warning at 9v. so straight away the st16 is convinced the battery is low at 12 ish although theres plenty of life in it to run the Q for another 20mins.
I would like to crack the st16 firmware and try to change the values. How do i download and open the firmware files ?

You can download the ST16 firmware from the Yuneec website. The problem you will have is getting past the password protection on the file.
Hi Doom
Do you think will
Yuneec will make a new
Showing of sorts.
I Love my TH 480
Don’t hold your breath. If they continue, it will be in Asia and the EU. I’m pretty sure we have gotten the mid finger salute.
What a bummer.
I am weighing heavy
On your words.
LOL. That darn finger
salute.
Well. I hope you guys stick around for awhile.

Good question! Since they are actually different firmware, my guess would be that you could swap back and forth.
Sounds like a phone call to Yuneec UK and pick their brains. What say ye?
