I would like to learn more on the inner workings of the Mavic pro. Is anyone able to assist or have a manual/schematic?
Please see the attached picture.

1 = IMU
2 = Left Obsitical Avoidance sensor
3 = Right Obstacle Avoidance sensor
4 = LVDS cable (video cable and under it the gimbal ribbon cable)
5 = ?
6 = ?

I'm assuming no 5 sends no 2 and 3 to the lower vision board because when I unplug it I get lots of errors regarding front right/left vision sensors.
No 6 seems to be responsible for the gimbal control/information to/from the lower vision board.

I’m sure @Thunderdrones will be able to help you out?

Its nice to have you here as a Moderator @Porky.You and @BigAl07 107 are breaths of fresh air for the forum.

To answer the OP's question,

Right ribbon goes to and sends/receives data to/from the ESC board and IMU

Left ribbon goes to and sends/receives data to/from the core board as well as power

@Thunderdrones am I correct with saying:

1 = Compass
2 = Left Obsitical Avoidance sensor
3 = Right Obstacle Avoidance sensor
4 = LVDS cable (video cable and under it the gimbal ribbon cable)
5 = Vision sensor data cable
6 = Gimbal image data cable

The right ribbon cable I'm referring to is no 6 and it goes from the gimbal pcb to the coreboard.
The left ribbon cable I'm referring to is no 5 and also goes from the gimbal pcb to the coreboard.
