Didn‘t see Step 5?

Alain Lushimba - Jan 13, 2020

Bonjour,

Merci pour cette tuto qui m’a permis d’effectuer la manipulation sans problème. Mais il se fait qu’après le changement de tout le cadran de la caméra avec le câble plat (Gimbal) achété sur amazon, tout s’affiche normalement, sauf que l’écran reste noir, aucun retour vidéo et aucune photo enregistrée. J’ai vérifié que toutes les connexions sont bien effectuées.

Pourriez-vous avoir une idée de ce qui peut être la cause?

Merci d’avance

Alain

Alain J’ai eu ce même problème (avec une surcharge de cardan et une erreur de gyroscope) j’ai remplacé le câble tressé de la caméra (celui avec un tas de fils collés ensemble) et cela a réparé ma caméra et mon cardan. Maintenant, mon drone fonctionne parfaitement.

(J’ai utilisé google translate donc je n’ai aucune idée si cela est écrit correctement)

J’espère que cela aide !!

-Eli
