    Solution for LED's

    Hi all, I thought I'd post this as it might be of some interest to users here. When I built my Arducopter last year I loved the fact that the guys had integrated a system for adding navigation leds that were fully customisable. Since I started down the Wookong route I have missed these and...

    Zenmuse Problems !

    Hi DennyR, I had set up everything like you said. The problem seemed to be the gimbal would not calibrate at all. After reflashing the firmware it kicked in and I have been able to get rid of the drift using subtrim. I presume it was just a gremlin as all is working fine now thankfully. Thanks...

    Zenmuse Problems !

    Yep. That is Rock Solid :) Seems to be working for me now. I'm using a T7C which doesn't seem to have the resolution on Subtrim to get me to 0. I'm fluctuating around -1 to +2 on all channels. That said I don't appear to have the drift issue anymore. I'll keep a close eye on it and see how it...

    Zenmuse Problems !

    Thanks Guys, Hex Junky, I have configured everything with the assistant and it all seems fine. I've made some progress, stabilization seems to be kicking in now after a reflash of the GCU and IMU firmware, though I am getting some drift on all axis. Can you explain to me exactly what happens...

    Zenmuse Problems !

    Hi Guys, In a bit of a panic here. Have a job tomorrow with my Zenmuse . It arrived last week but this is the first time I have had a chance to set it up. Can anyone who has one please tell me the startup procedure ? According to the manual it should do a self test spinning an all three axis...

    Does cloud affect GPS hold?

    Have to chime in and say that in my experience cloud cover does not have any noticeable effect. I can get full lock on the dullest of cloud covered days. The only time I have experienced gps problems turned out to correspond with Sun activity.

    DJI reduced price on data link

    I think it's very good, though needs a little updating in places. I can't find any way to change the units of measurement to imperial. I think in inch's and feet and find meters annoying. The actual 3d map is flawless though again I wish I could cache an area and forever have it stored on the...

    DJI reduced price on data link

    Hi Kilby, If it's any help, I've been using my 2.4 data link with a futaba T8FG Super for a couple of months now. I've never had any problems.

    SBus question

    Hi flyingbiscuit, I'm using my WKM with a futaba R6208SB. The receiver gets it's power through the Sbus cable. There is no need to run any other power to it. Hope this helps, Eoin

    S800 Leg Brace Issue

    Thanks Skivvie. I actually saw those photos yesterday. Unfortunately they are not clear enough to show me the difference. Particularly where the linkage meets the top of the frame. I will keep looking for suitable photos. Thanks DennyR. Did you speak to them yourself ? In my communication...

    S800 Leg Brace Issue

    Update on this, On Monday morning I received an email from DJI asking me to send photos. I sent them Yesterday and this morning I got a reply telling me that I have the most recent model. They didn't address the issue at all though it was very visible in the photos. I'm sure I'm not doing...

    Lights for you copter

    I use hot glue on the exposed solders as well. I also use 1N4007 diodes for each arm where the led lead is soldered to the PDB as polarity protection. This has the added benefit of dropping the voltage down .7v for each led strip. Eoin

    S800 Strange Behaviour and White lights

    Yeah ! That's definitely a possibility. When I checked a predictor it told me I should have had access to 9 satellites. But Sun activity did occur to me. The gps signal was fine the last time I flew so my problems last week might have had something to do with Sun activity. However should it not...

    S800 Strange Behaviour and White lights

    Interesting. Thanks for sharing this Boris. I have been concerned with the tape on my IMU. I can't find the right stuff here for the life of me. Everything is either too thick or not strong enough. I think I've found a niche in the Irish market if I ever manage to find something good enough :)...

    S800 Leg Brace Issue

    Hi Tahoe Ed, Yes I checked and double checked and then I checked again :) They definitely don't fit. DennyR do you have any more information on DJI's response ?

    S800 Leg Brace Issue

    Hi all, I've decided to deal with the few issues I'm having with my S800 one at a time. Starting from the ground up, did anyone else receive an S800 with the leg bracing problem ? On my S800 the leg braces don't fit correctly. They can't be tightened as this causes a lot of strain on the...

    S800 Strange Behaviour and White lights

    Well it's late on Wednesday night and unfortunately I didn't get to fly today. It's looking like it will be Friday for me. Boris, did you get a chance to try the gain settings Terry gave you ? On the subject of the gps, I wonder if it might be related ? I never had a problem with my gps until...
