Re: Flew it in today's crazy weather with 50mph winds (Video
I too live in an area with high winds, 20mph+ continuous with 60mph+ gusts are not uncommon especially with the seasons change. I've always keep it put away when the winds are around 10MPH+ just to play it safe. Maybe I'll be a little...
Thought I replied to this earlier but appears I didn't!
Thanks for the reply, I did see that thread before but the part that confuses me is it only did it immediately after the update and seems to have sorted itself out.
I suppose it wouldn't hurt to take the cover off and look at it :/
Updated my V+ and took it out for a flight this afternoon. When I powered it on and the gimbal powers up (after a few secs of power) the gimbal started swinging around at hitting an end of movement repeatedly and I got a message of a restricted movement problem, but then it went away on its own...
Thanks for the reply.
You bet, I took the cover off the crashed one and made sure everything looked snug. It took a bad hit in the crash because one of the small screws near the motor was so ground down from the concrete I had to grind a slot in the screwhead with a dremel to use a screwdriver...
Been away for a while so had a chance to tinker again. Gains as expected didn't make any difference. Keep in mind my "testing" regimen is to start it up, take off let it hover. The drifting starts immediately so I bring it down. I don't want to give it too much height and/or distance because I'm...
I do appreciate the help! :)
Regarding the gains, my V2+ is about a week old and from a fresh batch the distributor had just received, so it's probably pretty darn current but who knows.. not that it makes a bunch of difference really. I think I'll still try your specs on my "good" one to see...
GPS lock and everything seems fine, no issues there.
Regarding gains, those are the same as my "good" v2+ so I'll probably leave them but I'm not against experimenting.
I'm not against trying to bend the gimbal (nothing to lose really) but I think I'd need to disassemble it to get at the arm...
So thanks for the advice folks.
I did the advanced IMU calibration and it hasn't solved it. It might be a BIT better, but it still drifts. I also calibrated the controller.
How do you check the motor alignment exactly?
I took some screenshots of the software to show how it is right now. I am...
Thanks guys, will check into it.
No offense taken flynfrank, I am a complete new Phantom owner, still learning everything. I might ask for more advice if I can't figure it out!
As for selling it, I'll let you know after I do some more work with it and see if I can fly it straight!
Assuming I...
Hi folks, new member here. I bought a Vision 2 + and really enjoy it so far, having a blast.
I have a question which I hope those more technically competent with these than me can answer.
I picked up a crashed Vision 2+ for a cheap price. The person flew it into a post and it fell 20' or so...
