    Convert Typhoon H to PixHawk 6C Flight Controller

    The ST24 must be bound to the ST16. I thought the button is to bring it in bind mode but it isn't. Seems it has no function anymore with current firmware. I think on DSM port there is no way to bind it. Remains only the TH. Connect it to the TH. Create a new model. Select this new model. Tilt...

    Motor problem

    Remove propeller and propeller mounting plate (2 screws). Be careful with the spring inside the mounting plates. Then turn the motors slowly and use a flshlight to look inside from above. Sometimes you see it, sometimes you feel it while turning the motor.

    WiFi telemertry works independent on SR24. And yes, SR24 was not bound to this ST16s but to another this time switched off ST ST16.

    Hello everyone, I'm a new drone pilot(H520), have many questions on the H520?

    A warm welcome from Germany.

    Advice on custom typhoon h build

    You cannot exchange the gimbal main control board between CGO3 and CGO3+. This will never work. Even if you have another control board from the same camera type, in most cases this will also not work because it needs complete new calibration which can only be done with special tool from Yuneec...

    No. You have only set some parameters depending on what port you want to send telemetry. See last page in attached file. Just to illustrate what I have done, here is my test setup: Attached: How to setup a MAVbridge.

    Yes, it still uses SR24 receiver to receive data from the 12 channels (sticks, switches). I have assigned landing gear, flight mode switch, no actuators so far. A quick test shows that ST16S with Autopilot app from H Plus receives basic data via WiFi: voltage, num sats, GPS fix velocity, height...

    I have tested first with DSM port on Pixhawk4. This works, but no telemetry on ST16. It is possible to send MAV messages via MAYbridge to QGC. I will check if a ST16S can receive this. If so then the back channel over SR24 is not needed, telemetry can obtained from WiFi.

    Not yet. I have started to set up two FCs: Pixracer V1.0 and Pixhawk4. The latest FW is no more supporting the ESP01 WiFi module on Pixracer. I took some time to bring it back to work. Now I'm read to start with SR24 - need some wiring. The DSM port has the disadvantage that it has no back...

    Convert Typhoon H to PixHawk 6C Flight Controller

    I would connect the telemetry UART (green/yellow on your picture) only to the one ESC board with 4 motors and let the other on (+2 motors) alone. There are a lot of step-down converter (buck converter) on the market. Some with fix 3.3V some adjustable. Example: Tested: MINI-360 (MP2307-based)...

    Are you sure you want to to connect the UART wire for telemetry in parallel? This is not allowed because both could try to send and then you get it scrambled. UART is point to point connection from my point of view.

    Reliability or performance differences do not depend on the design/format but firmware and hardware that is been used. So, the answer is: I don't know...

    Convert Typhoon H to PixHawk 6C Flight Controller

    A 20A ESC should be enough. Hoovering takes around 16A all six motors. Depending on load, wind and throttle current may be 40A or 60A, possibly more at peak, but never seen in log so far. Logs came from H Plus which takes a bit more power but it is comparable. I would not go with 4 in 1 ESCs. I...

    Lack of GPS on ST16S

    Just to understand the problem: - There are two GPS modules that work together: One in the drone, one in the ST16S. In #1 I see 12 sats at drone and GPS fix OK, 3 sats on ST16, no GPS fix. Is this the problem? If yes, why do you deal with drone GPS? - In #7 both GPS have enough sats and have GPS...

    Lack of GPS on ST16S

    If the orange LED on RF module (SR24) is solid orange then the ST16 is bound to the drone and connection is working. Without camera a lot of functions are disabled. Typhoon H Plus, H3 or H520 need WiFi connection via camera hotspot to work properly. Without camera: - no telemetry - no automated...
