    Is it worth sending in a crashed P4P to DJI for a repair price quote?

    So DJI repair service won’t fix in depth issues. They will replace anything that requires soldering, advanced flashing or “gatekeeper” repair. The P4 series gimbal yaw motor assembly is what I call “gatekeeper” (the yaw motor housing is calibrated to the roll/yaw esc board on the gimbal) so the...

    P4 standard crashed now it won’t start

    I would double check your ribbon cables going from the ESC to the main controller (the board that’s suspended over the 3in1 board via rubber dampeners). When you power it up do the motors on both sides initiate properly (do the beep?)

    P4 standard crashed now it won’t start

    No that motor needs an electronic speed controller (esc) which has special timing parameters and programming to spin the motor. That esc is actually both esc’s for the left side. (There are 2 individual esc’s in that board) You will need to replace that esc board, extras can be found on eBay or...

    Compass Repair

    Check for a good connection internally. Pull the gimbal off and look at the front of the drone, the compass’s connect to the power distribution board and the connectors are just barley accessible after you remove the main controller (4 rubber standoffs and 3 ribbon connectors under black tape).

    P4 standard crashed now it won’t start

    This sounds like you have a short to ground somewhere near the main power distribution board on the main (vbat) line. The battery is detecting a massive amp draw and shutting down to prevent damage. Check for short to ground starting with the main power distribution board. Once it’s confirmed...

    DJI Phantom 2 Vision FC200 EGG camera - Black video FPV solution to fix

    comparing that to the log I posted last week of a good one it looks very close! The log you posted showed some space allocation that my log did not, but That may not matter. I think the pid stuff at the bottom is what we’re looking for. Do you have a way to test it on a rig? my project board...

    DJI Phantom 2 Vision FC200 EGG camera - Black video FPV solution to fix

    excellent! I’m worried there’s more to it than what we’ve got so far. I’m thinking the kernel we uploaded may need some work/tweaking. I wouldn’t flash it yet unless you’re like me and just have to test everything ? . I went through it this morning and it’s still showing a bad kernel.( Or a bad...

    DJI Phantom 2 Vision FC200 EGG camera - Black video FPV solution to fix

    I reflashed my project board with the ubl and U-boot posted and had similar (unsuccessful) results. Was able to recover what I think is proper boot sequence with the gaucho images. I have not tried the kernel you uploaded yet yesterday. I previously tried the amberella kernel and no dice (was...

    DJI Phantom 2 Vision FC200 EGG camera - Black video FPV solution to fix

    yes TP8 is getting 5 volts. I’ve actually wired a switch in the 5v circuit to have a little more control over when it gets power. (In an effort to prepare for reflashing the kernel.) I keep bsel always connected during the flash. It’s worth mentioning that the board did funny things with the...

    DJI Phantom 2 Vision FC200 EGG camera - Black video FPV solution to fix

    So I’m actually using a bench power supply to power the board with 5v (yes it needs 5v and powering it from your usb post is probably fine here) 3.3v to bsel also comes from my power supply (the 3.3v on tp10 isn’t very accurate. Mine was something like 2.6v and would continue to loop.) I think...

    DJI Phantom 2 Vision FC200 EGG camera - Black video FPV solution to fix

    I’ll give it a shot in the morning. From what I could tell I had command prompt, but I’m just not familiar with this stuff. I’ll do some digging on how to identify the encoding process and update soon. I’m assuming once I stop the process I can use the script you posted a couple pages ago to...

    Wow, I can’t believe there are folks still trying to revive the eggs! Ok so I’ve repaired numerous fpv video feeds on several different dji devices using the methods provided by gaucho, quaddamage and the ti forums. Firstly, thanks for the amazing work quaddamge. I like your approach and...
