Nick Roosen replied to Dave Holmes's discussion Need a wifi receiver for a DJI Phantom 3 Pro
"Wouldn't the DJI Phantom 3 HDMI Output Module work for you? This would allow you to view the live 720p video stream from the Phantom in real-time."

Unfortunately I don't have the time I used to have to fly my Y6 and am looking to part ways. It started as a 3DR Hex B, but I've done all the available upgrades, including adding the Tarot gimbal and FPV transmitter. I will be keeping the radio and…

Nick Roosen replied to Mike Tassey's discussion Y6 having incredibly bad yaw issues
"I'm having this exact same problem. Built and rebuilt, changed motor directions, but nothing seems to allow me to yaw right. Any stick input seems to have no effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated!"

Nick Roosen replied to Nick Roosen's discussion 2-Axis Gimbal Connection - Digital servos on RC5-8 not working, crashes MP, causes disconnect
"Figured it out. I was just an idiot and confused RC7-8 for A7-8. Now I'm just having an issue with servo chatter, but only with one servo...possibly bad servo I guess."

I'm in the process of configuring a 2-axis gimbal on my hex with APM 2.5 and 3DR PM unit. I have two digital servos, that I'm trying to connect to RC5-8, as instructed in the Wiki to avoid a brownout. However, when I connect the servos, they go to…

Nick Roosen replied to David Harvey's discussion Possibly faulty barometer component in APM 2.5
"I'm currently having the same issue. However, my alt starts out at -5cm and continues to fall. After about 5 mins, it falls to -850cm. Whenever I try flying with loiter above my sonar alt, it just goes max throttle and heads for the skies. Any…"

"What camera gimbal are you using? I've been looking for something and this looks like the one I've been looking for! Great frame setup, always cool to see some experimentation."

Nick Roosen replied to Michael Ratcliffe's discussion Range Problem with 433Mhz Radio
"I've had the same issues with my 433mHz 3DR radios from the start. I'm not sure what's going on. I've done all the tests suggested in this thread and come up with a similar result as Michael. When I set my Tx power to 20dB and place the Tx/Rx approx…"

Nick Roosen replied to Nick Roosen's discussion Stiff/binding motor issue on Hexa-B
"After some troubleshooting, it looks like I've discovered the problem. The cir-clip on bottom of the motor seems to be causing the issue. When removed, the motor spins freely and does not bind. When replaced, the motor goes back to binding. I'm just…"

I just finished building my first multi-rotor and noticed something strange with one of the motors. When I spin down, one motor will stop much sooner than the others. The motor is also a little harder to turn by hand when under no load, no battery…
