    compass mount broke off

    That is a form of coaxial connector. While yes you could solder the wire directly, that may not NE the best option. The wire side of the connector probably still has the header attached. Placing the ground ring back onto the board would allow for the reuse of the wire side of the connection...

    Work and Efficiency of P4 motors

    As a person who works in electronics and BLDC motors 100% efficiency is not possible. Looking at the data it appears that you are looking at distance traveled per power delivered. This is not dimension less but like a mobile transportation miles per gallon, km per liter, etc.. For the efficiency...

    Can a P4P ignite combustible gases?

    I have not looked at the pcb of a P4, but given the efficiency, would probably be safe in assuming that there are no relays. Then the next question would be for switches. Currently there is only one on the AC, and it is probably not sealed to the level required for explosive enviroments. Thus...

    Well Go 4 Is Working For Now

    I have an Nvidia Shield K1 for my tablet. Since the Andriod update earlier this year the the app crashed about 8 to 10 minutes into the flight. The latest version updated 7/26 has now been used on 3 flights well beyond the 15 minute marks for each with no crashes! Could something have been fixed?

    Well I updated DJI GO 4 (4.1.4 released on the 26th) and took the drone out today, after 17 minutes of flight the app did not crash. Will run the test again tomorrow and see if it is repeatable. Ran out of daylight today. Maybe some progress?

    Is your P4 firmware update GOOD? Post here please!

    Update was fine with no issues. It did not fix the app crashing in Android. No significant changes for me, I do like the lower idle rpm on the ground before takeoff.

    Stress Cracks Phantom 4, what do I do?

    The issue with hand catching is the lever arm and torque applied by it. You normally have the weight spread across 4 legs and the force evenly distributed. Catching by one leg means forces are applied around the fulcrum point and spread out from there. The system is designed to have the lift and...

    DJI go 4 In Flight App Crash

    Well, I am not an apple person, and chose the K1 before the update that caused the instability. The K1 is a good tablet with some very good support, and I was able to make stuff happen very easily when directed bi Nvidia. This is a DJI problem, and I cannot pinpoint the problem yet. My ultimate...

    Phantom 4 Nvidia Shield K1 glitch

    I have the same issue with mine. There is no real resolution, only options. 1. Do a factory restore as mentioned and do not upgrade. 2 use Litchi and bag Dji go 4. It doesn't appear that Dji will fix the app.

    is it legal for someone to have a drone jammer.

    This is a violation of FCC rules and regs. Even possession of a jammer can lead to a significant fine. They are illegal to both sell and posses. The FCC takes jamming very seriously. If he has one for the frequency range of a drone, it would interfere with wifi as well. Many other posts stating...
