    Tarot T4-3D on Solo

    Nevermind. Finally figured it out. For any that search and end up here. To flip the Roll Axis, I needed to adjust the IMU orientation before running the configuration tool. After Adjusting to 0 degrees in my case, the tool reconfigured it to 90 (it started at 270). After that the tool went...

    Tarot T4-3D on Solo

    I'm back. After a few weeks of working too much, I finally have a new gimbal on my Solo. I ended up going with the GoodLuckBuy Storm32 gimbal on ebay. I am having a slight problem. It is more likely me not knowing how to adjust this. The gimbal I received starts with the pitch motor to the...

    Tarot T4-3D on Solo

    I've bought the GoodLuckBuy 3 axis gimbal from eBay and am working on mouting and wiring it. I'm a bit confused about how to wire it up to the solo. I know the main power points and have found information about which points on the solo main board I need to use, but cannot figure out where to...

    Tarot T4-3D on Solo

    Thank you for the input. I searched around today and may end up going with the GoodLuckBuy storm32 gimbal. It looks like you can get them on eBay shipped from a US location. I couldn't find many options on where to get a Tarot shipped form the US and I don't really want to wait forever to get it.

    Tarot T4-3D on Solo

    I did search and found threads of people using the GoodLuckBuy 3 axis and Tarot T-2d, both seemed to have successful turnouts. I would like to stick to a 3 axis Gimbal which led me to the Tarot I mentioned and I assume the process of getting the T4-3D to work with tilt on the paddle will be...

    Tarot T4-3D on Solo

    Has anybody tried or heard of anyone using a Tarot T4-3D gimbal on the Solo? After a slight mishap *cough* crash *cough* my 3DR gimbal seems to have suffered slight but irritating damage. I am looking to replace it with a 3rd party gimbal and wanted to get an idea if this could work. I am a...

    Took a fall and now have a gimbal question

    I should also note. When I got back from the test flight. the roll motor was still rolling back and forth. I rotated the counterweight about a quarter turn and it came back to level as if perfectly normal.

    Took a fall and now have a gimbal question

    It can be turned independently from the motor and arm, but you have to brace the arm to move it. It isn't free spinning.

    Took a fall and now have a gimbal question

    My drone took a fall today after it, errrr, I accidentally hit a tree. The drone lives to fly another day. The gimbal may be another question. After getting the drone home and cleaned up, I powered it back up. The gimbal was totally limp. I touches it and almost immediately it worked as...

    Finally had it, looking for an attorney! No parts for Gimbals?

    First and foremost, I'm sorry you've had such a rough time with your Solo. I've only had mine a couple of months and I haven't had any major problems that weren't easily remedied, but I'm sure it really sucks to have put so much time, energy, and resources into something to have it disappoint...

    Building OpenSolo

    I got the mac for my daughter through my last job. It was a 27" all in one that they used for the graphics design teams. They were going to recycle it because they don't redeploy anything over 3 years old, so I bought it from them for $50. It's actually a great machine for my daughter and...

    Building OpenSolo

    Figures. It didn't occur to me that could have that severe of an impact on subsequent builds. I was too fixated on finding a computer that had enough horsepower to handle this. My linux machine that I use as a simple network storage in the basement couldn't do it and personal laptop didn't have...

    Building OpenSolo

    I was following the quick start guide at WIP DOCUMENT! You will almost certainly brick your Solo if you follow these instructions! — Dev documentation My initial goal was simple to get it downloaded and built. Not sure I would make any immediate changes, but I like looking through things...
