My gimbal tilt potentiometer has packed in on the transmitter. It only goes from full plus to full minus on a minute amount of travel.

Does anyone know where to obtain a spare or failing this, any known fixes please?

Thanks

Pete
 
Try a calibration to start off with. Do the TX first, then the quadcopter.

Failing that, many of us fit an external pot. You just need a 5Kohm linear pot and 3 lengths of wire. Just clip the old wire off the board - this gives you 3 pins then to solder to and then solder the pot wires to this point.

Very easy to do and you can pick your mounting point on the TX. I put mine on the back, but some put theirs on the front - the choice is yours.
 
Maybe I should write a book. I was thinking of

How To Understand A Women.

Erm. No. On second thoughts I had better make it something more simple - like

Gravity physics associated with atom particle acceleration reaction.
