Update: installed the second new gimbal control board as well as two new sensors, and the front left sensor still isn’t appearing in calibration. I’ve updated all firmware and what not. So the issue must be stemming from deeper in the drone. I think I’ve officially given up. Too expensive...

It will fly, but the last time I tried It kept auto landing from an error

And if what you are calling board B is the main board, (the bigger ones), I honestly Have no idea. I suspect they may be the issue as well but I have No idea how to test it. Replacing wouldn’t be worth it, definitely due to the need to resolder everything. I’m leaning towards it NOT being one...
