    Seeking advice about Air 2 mods

    I did some stuff with the LED pins here on my MA2 a while back to add external devices to it

    Adding electronics to the Mavic Air 2

    I’ve seen something like that before - it’s a good idea, my only issue with it is that you need an external battery rather than the one in the drone

    FPV for Air 2 or Mini?

    Last time I checked you can’t connect any goggles directly to the drone. It might be added in the future to the dji goggles or they might release new goggles, but for now the only way I know of doing it is either wirelessly transmitting the video to third party goggles or using a device with an...

    Adding electronics to the Mavic Air 2

    Sorry, I meant wires on whatever you connect yourself. I accidentally hooked up an arduino backwards and it somehow fried part of the board

    Adding electronics to the Mavic Air 2

    To avoid doing what I did it’s probably worth getting something like this ( Amazon.com: QLOUNI 10pcs 5x20mm Fuse Holder Inline Screw Type with 18 AWG Wire & 100pcs 5x20mm Fast-Blow Glass Fuses Assorted Kit Amp 0.1A, 0.2A, 0.25A, 0.3A, 0.5A, 1A, 1.5A, 2A, 3.15A, 6.3A ) to protect the board, or...

    Where can I find replacement core boards for the Air 2?

    Thanks. I’ll keep an eye on ebay and check out the site. If that doesn’t work out, hopefully those parts will become available soon enough. Seeing as the quad still flies I could just wait it out.

    Where can I find replacement core boards for the Air 2?

    I accidentally fried part of my board doing a hardware mod and just out of curiosity wanted to check how much a new one would cost, but I can’t find any online. Does anyone know where I can find one?

    In my opinion a non-functioning LED is a reasonable price to pay to figure out how to better use my drone

    Fried auxiliary LED pin

    So I was connecting an arduino to my MA2 through a mod I made a post about and, without paying attention, hooked it up with the wrong polarity. It was connected to the auxiliary LED pins at the time but they were off, however it still fried the positive pin. My guess is some current went...

    Quick update: make absolute sure you connect the wires the right way around, I may have just fried my LED pins by not being careful.

    I doubt you could with just the LED power, however you could directly use the battery power which should be more than enough to power an amplifier. The only thing is that it will always be on unless you hook it up to turn on with the LED power.

    Adding electronics to the Mavic Air 2

    So I soldered it on. If anyone does this a few notes: -There seems to be some coating on the battery connection pins. I just burned them away by putting a bead of solder on my iron and putting it against it for about 10 seconds, then waiting 30, and repeating until it all burns away -The...

    Adding electronics to the Mavic Air 2

    So I connected some wires and everything works as I’d expect. However, I decided to look further and found a part of the board where I can directly get power from the battery. It may be possible to use a transistor and use the LED switch to power something from the battery while still having the...

    You’re probably right, but it’s also possible to add on to the LED instead of fully replacing it. It would probably still void the warranty but then the only sacrifice you make is with how much current you can draw
