I am now switching a dead gimbal with a working one.
I purchased a crash victim to find the Yaw motor cockeyed in the Yaw arm.
The two cables, one stranded and one short ribbon which connect into the board had no appearance damage.
I pushed back the Yaw motor, it may not be perfectly level but it spinsfreely and does not rub on the dampener.
I checked the firmware and refreshed it, after running Python to calibrate the motors. Which did nothing bcuz they all don't move.
So,
Where could the checking and switching parts start?
Question, I can take the gimbal apart to inspect the transmission cable for rips within. But, when changing a dampener is there risk to spin and tear something from going over a limit of twisting?
This bad gimbal is very very 'flimsey'. It just totally flops around.
(Long here I know!)
I attached two pics of the area inside the nose. There is a dislodged pad or ribbon cable behind the one front OA sensor.
Also the drone motors start and it pairs with controller. The IMU says calibrate but there is no hot button to calibrate it. It only says restart drone. I did that two times but same, situation.
I might next switch the board in the gimbal but I am looking to find where else to check or switch?
Good drone and bad drone to show the normal. Would this damaged pad thing escalate the gimbal fail? The camera works but the signal is glitchy and staticy.
