Context:
I sank my p4 (compass error on takeoff and right off the dock into the water). Dried it all off and took everything apart. Reassembled and nothing worked. I figured it might also be a batt problem since when I dove down 10 ft to get, it still had the motor lights on. Batt lights worked on it after it dried but still wouldn’t turn on. Since I only have 1 battery for this, I just soldered to leads to the esc batt lines on the rear battery board in the p4. The batt voltage was correct (which is annoying it wouldn’t turn on) so I connected the leads and everything worked, gimbal, sensors, etc (the sonar sensors make a slight hum but lets leave that alone for now). The problem is only that all esc are giving me an error. With our with them plugged in.
Question:
Does the p4 give esc errors if not powering from the smart battery (I have the batt voltage plugged into a solder tap for testing via two wires)? I can unplug 1 esc or both of them from the controller board and I still get all 4 esc errors. I don’t have another batt for this p4 so don’t want to buy one unless is might be worth is.
