It’s like all electronics, they build it—sell it and THEN make it work..........for them. We’re just along for the ride

I would recommend cleaning all the solder off the area to be soldered. You should be looking at just a tinned area, just colored silver by a very thin coat of solder. There’s a tool called a “solder sucker” in tech circles, about $6. Bucks local parts store. Use it to help clean the area. Once...

Just remember to cook it till lightly browned, Just kidding, wash n dry that’s the golden rule . Remember once you let the smoke out, it’s hard to get it all back in.

Is your charger putting out proper voltage

I am an electronics engineer for over 40 years now. Many PC Boards are coated in a lacquer type finish to help protect from condensation. Alcohol is also a solvent, which is both good and bad as it may end up deteriorating seals and in some cases components. I would recommend first washing the...

Things like this give two fold meanings. We tend to push the limits and show what can be done, at the same time we do what’s not supposed to be done. Soon the regs. Will be built into the firmware an you’ll only be able to fly 10 feet in front of you. Nice going dude.

I would contact DJI about compatibility issues. Though these look like toys, I consider mine as a hobby. I don’t know where you financially draw that line on your toys but practice and care will give you more fun at a cheaper cost in both time n money

I fly in Columbus Ga., being as Ft. Benning Military base is in Columbus, DJI put a big red circle over the entire city, and then some, called it “Military Air Space”. I had bought a new drone and the only place to fly was anywhere but in the town I lived in. Long story short, I contacted the...

The lights are just indicators, I’m sure the calibration of the indicators is software driven. You may show 50% battery life left and actually have 85% left. These voltages, or error signals, are used for all voltage driven calculations on the aircraft. Remember, these things are built, sold...

Could be an optical issue or a a-d converter although the latter would most likely manifest itself in other areas. I would look at a resolution chart, (available online) and watch that corner live while slowly manually rotating the drone. If you see it still, it’s most likely optical(glass)...
