    installing E300 on the Phantom 2 (non vision)

    I am tempted to re-try. I cannot figure out why the amp would not power up :( I did a multimeter test on the battery voltage and it read 12.8. so unless the amp does detect this slight overage of 0.8v, i cannot figure out why. Any bright ideas? :) B

    installing E300 on the Phantom 2 (non vision)

    I was running a wire directly from the power jack of the wi/fi amp to the V+ and Ground point on the main board (as per ElGuano's) photo. The same wires I later ran to the Black Pearl DC OUT and it ran just fine. So I was left wondering about the 2amp requirement of the sanhans amp. Does this...

    I was wondering about the same thing and even beyond that - if I cant retain the LEDs, is it critical? What is the vital information the LEDs tell me beyond the iOSD mini, sound, etc alerts? B

    installing E300 on the Phantom 2 (non vision)

    So here is something strange ElGuano, as I am still waiting for the E300 kit, I went on the side project to try and power a 12v 2amp 5.8G amplifier through the P2 board. As you can probably guess - it didn't even blink. at the same time, I tried the DC out of the Black Pearl (as it reads this...

    rilot, all this info is very important, but seems I am stuck with new motors for the P2 :( B

    installing E300 on the Phantom 2 (non vision)

    ElGuano, My confidence grows by the hour :) As per the E300 motors - I don't yet have that many flight hours (but am moving fast toward them). But are really the E300 motors the same as the stock motors? WHy is it that I read the specs of the so called "tuned propulsion system" and am reading...

    installing E300 on the Phantom 2 (non vision)

    Hey guys, thanks for all the hints and pictures. I am finally putting this together in my mind. The expected weight that the bird should fly with is around 1420 - 1480 gr, so I assume that this will give me enough time to do the shots I need. As per the LEDs - in all honesty, after the bird is...

    installing E300 on the Phantom 2 (non vision)

    Hi guys, I have been using this forum to source many of my mods and tweaks to my quads. So far I have been both successful and partially unsuccessful :) But as they say - we live, we learn. I got to a point where I want to experiment with a little bit more payload on the bird (additional 150 -...
