    S800 EVO - landing gear help.

    JPBG, it has happened to all of us! No worries. As a clue, I always look at any (-) markings as that is always the black or dark brown wire. Glad you figured it out and that it's working!

    S800 EVO - landing gear help.

    Have you confirmed that your controller/receiver are sending out the signal to the landing gear? I mean, are you sure your transmitter gear switch is actually making its way to the landing gear controls? If so, how long ago did you purchase it? Can you contact your vendor to get your landing...

    S800 EVO - landing gear help.

    JPBG, sorry for the delay in responding. MombasaFlash is correct. The failsafe operation is a function of the A2 controller, and isn't related to the frame or landing gear type. To solve my problem I totally disconnected the actual mechanical part of the landing gear, and first just ran servos...

    Hoverfly Big Boy Setup Questions

    I'm just splitting the video signal... i.e. soldering the two wires together. These are high-impedance outputs, so no need for any fancy circuit, not that it would hurt to use the one you pointed to. I guess I can't claim success since I haven't wired it yet, but I don't expect any complications.

    Hoverfly Big Boy Setup Questions

    Yes, that is totally doable... in fact, that's what I will be doing this month. My plan is to split the Zen output, feed one directly to the camera operator's feed, and the other through the iOSD to feed the pilot. Then also feed the flight camera into the other iOSD video input, allowing the...

    Futaba T8FG Super channels 9 thru 14 versus NAZA 8 channels

    You can only use those channels if you use an SBUS decoder. Earlier in this thread you'll see how I explained my setup with two R6208SBs, and using a HobbyKing SBUS decoder to use those two digital channels. It also makes it easy to move one cable from one receiver to the other when I switch...

    DJI Zenmuse Where is the warranty or support?

    I'm in a similar boat, and am doing what Bart is suggesting. My current setup has been through a lot this past year (hard landings, a hard crash, etc.), starting to show signs of it. I'm in the process of buying/building a second setup out of my savings, then, if needed, can send my Z15 in for...

    S800 EVO - landing gear help.

    Cabrams, I can understand the frustration. It took me a month of trying several things until I got mine to work. In my case, I ended up having to disassemble the servos from the gear. With the servos separated out, I put the landing gear into its self-calibration routine and observed the full...

    Significant Vibration In GPS Mode Only

    Glad for you. That wasn't my problem since mine was attached to the plate with the recommended tape for permanent attachment.

    2 devastating crashes in a month using Wookong

    My pleasure. I hope you can get to the bottom of the issue.

    2 devastating crashes in a month using Wookong

    Ramesh, you simply plug in the USB cable to your laptop and start up the iOSD PC Software. One of the first questions you are asked is if you want to configure the iOSD, or view the data. If you pick to view the data, the iOSD becomes a USB data drive and you can copy/view the files. The iOSD...

    Significant Vibration In GPS Mode Only

    When I was dealing with this issue it was rougly (I'm guessing) a 10Hz range of vibration.

    Significant Vibration In GPS Mode Only

    No, sadly I never did get to the root of it. I ended up upgrading all my arms to the newer stiffer arms. I also worked on rebalancing everything a bit more. It's acceptable for me now, though if I could ever suggest to DJI that they look at their control laws to improve that, I would.

    2 devastating crashes in a month using Wookong

    Sorry about the loss. We've all had those disheartening accidents and hopefully you will find the root cause. Out of curiosity, why would you say you can't use the WKM anymore?

    IMU Mount Options on S800

    Agreed. You pretty much did what I was in the process of doing myself (i.e. minimizing top and bottom frame connections, with some slight twists. Thanks for sharing!
