    Original Owner, have not used in many years question

    Ok the answers are a bit erratic.. I will just et the 1st question: Make sure it's not a generic Li-Po charger, but a DJI charger. DJI "chargers" are not really chargers but simple power supply. For how your charger and its display works - we don't know, as this is not a standard Phantom...

    PHANTOM 3 ADV question

    ISO = International Standards Organization; it made ie. the ISO/OSI network model which you used to transfer this answer onto your local device from a Cloudflare sever which hosts this forum. iOS = iPhone Operating System, very closed but quite secure operating system made and supported by Apple.

    Exchange roll board for yaw board?

    "the 3"? You mean the boards containing arm drivers? These to be exact? https://github.com/o-gs/dji-firmware-tools/wiki/WM320-Gimbal-driver-pitch#board-view https://github.com/o-gs/dji-firmware-tools/wiki/WM320-Gimbal-driver-roll#board-view...

    The correct procedurer

    I think you meant manual calibration, meaning triggering the calibrarion process from the app by clicking in settings - that is not needed, because the drone will simply inform you through the app every time it really needs calibration. But it's not that you never need it, sometimes after...

    How to read the old (and fault) NAND flash memory DM365, of my Phantom3 Pro before change it?.

    make sure it appears always and is not just one-time problem. That's true, it would be best if you was able to read the "encrypted partition", as it can only be decrypted properly with ATSHA205 chip on your specific board. There's also an encrypted file in root file system somewhere, but I...

    will the drone motors run indoors without the satellite being found?

    No. ok, if neither manual nor my suggestions affected your procedure, then you can test them your way. Good luck. EDIT: ok I feel this wasn't really sufficient answer.. here: During startup, Phantom drones execute a self test. This test consists of multiple steps and leads to setting status...

    will the drone motors run indoors without the satellite being found?

    If you don't have a manual, you should be able to find it online as PDF. Also, mobile app will always tell you why an action was rejected.

    help with the gimbal/camera wires

    This may help you: https://github.com/o-gs/dji-firmware-tools/wiki/P3X-ESC-center-board#external-interfaces If you have any additional pinout, write an "issue" there and they will update the wiki. You will find functional diagrams of all boards there, and descriptive pinouts for most connectors.

    P3P Gimbal problem.

    I wouldn't pay more than 8 EUR for the cable. That's the price I see on aliexpress. if you see the scratch, you could always try to solder it - while the cables have varying quality and build materials, typically they do allow soldering on them if you won't set the temperature too high. That...

    P3P Gimbal problem.

    The FFC is the most often breaking part of this gimbal. You can very easily buy a replacement (well, I didn't search for it in recent years.. but in the past you could). For the license - not sure what is the classification of Phantoms, but for most consumer drones you get the "license" by just...

    P3P Gimbal problem.

    Looks like the gimbal is limp, it just keeps position because it's well balanced. Anyway, the error is clearly about roll. So take out the roll driver board, check if the position measuring potentiometer has proper resistance, check if all MOSFETs have similar resistances. But as previously...

    P3P Gimbal problem.

    I'm confused - all wires are made of copper. But regardless - connection between the gimbal and the rest of the drone is not a problem, your problem is (as the app indicated) with specific arm of the gimbal. If you have a multimeter, you should focus on measuring connections to the indicated...

    P3P Gimbal problem.

    You've described the situation well. So: * Looks like your video pipeline works correctly * The issue is only with gimbal movement control * Since you're getting an error about specific arm, the uC on Gimbal Top board must be working properly Gimbals are usually damaged by physical shock. Are...

    Phantom 3 no software to support?

    Why would you even ask that? Is your way of thinking "i like the model, but I wish it would spy on me more, and I also wish someone in China would be able to remotely kill-switch it at any time if they wished."? Because if you typically don't think that, you should aim for the oldest firmware.

    Help with crashed P4 Standard - Drone flips and crashes during takeoff.

    The screenshot you've pasted suggest there are .DAT files, sized 16kb to 200kb. The sizes are non-zero. Looks like there is some information, maybe it is just encrypted. I never had a P4 so I've no idea how to decrypt it. But the content of the logs is the same on all platforms - it includes...
