So I posted the below on the PhantomPilots forum and got very little help from those guys - I'm hoping with the leap in expertise on this site (@cruzroy @Donnie Frank @Dobmatt and of course @The Editor), someone might be able to share some advice/wisdom?
My P4P is about 2” from the trash and in need of assistance from you experts out there.
It’s been through the wars a little. When replacing the shell, I stuffed the motors. So I’ve replaced them as well. Got it back to going fine, or so I thought.
Everything shows on screen as perfect - everything in the green - IMU and compass calibration excellent, vision sensors calibrated, firmware up to date, battery at 98% - EVERYTHING is a-ok!
But as soon as I take off I get “Battery signal error”. If I land quick enough, I’m able to land. If I hover too long, it has a spaz-attack and spirals quickly and crashes - it’s almost like one prop goes into reverse, quite weird.
It’s not the battery as I have 5 and they all do the same. I’ve tried resetting the battery - no luck. Pushed in properly? I just cracked one of them making sure it was in properly - it doesn’t go in any further! Airdata gives me no clues, but perhaps my limited experience is the reason for that.
Over almost a year now, I’ve read everything my little brain can cope with and I’m stumped! This is my first and only P4P - I’ve had/have a few Inspires (7), a Spark, 3x Karma’s, a Tello and a Mini - but I don’t know what else to do apart from hand it over to DJI or throw it away (same thing IMO).
Any assistance greatly appreciated before it flies for the last time - thrown off a cliff.
