Hello All,
I'm new here so please go easy!
I'll keep this straight to the point in what happened and what I've done so far:
Phantom2 Vision with 2 axis gimbal
Had light tumble - caught corner of greenhouse, damaged prop and gimbal came off (2 axis) landed in a nice field of tall grass thankfully.
IMU lead is damaged to took it off and left camera on to test camera works fine and copter files perfectly - hovers as if gps and all is working.....
No apparent damage inside shell - checked GPS lead and board under lid - no cracks and all is fine there (connected to pt2 software and it 'reads' it ok)
Problem now: no satellite readings on app when flying, no battery indicator - just reads zero :?:
The 'home' point on the android app also shows the red arrow way left of screen and doesn't respond at all.
I have done all the normal calibration checks, ran round in circles and observed lights, but no go there...
BTW - I still have the IMU cable disconnected - if this makes a difference?
Checked battery compartment - and some guy on another thread mentioned the two small pins may be linked to this error.
I have stripped all down and checked cables,etc - the compass cable was safe inside the longer landing leg and there was no impact that side so all should be fine there - and the main board was not affected at all.
If anyone out there has any ideas I'd really appreciate it as it's me almost in tears, got the gimbal just fitted and working, and now this happens!
It will fly fine as is, camera works perfectly - but I'd rather get these elements fixed first.
Cheers all
Steve
