UPair One - Main Board with ESC controllers |
As you can see, there are 6 mosfets driving each motor in each quadrant. I'm not sure what the four chips are towards the center of the board, but I believe that they are the controller IC's for each motor. The red/black leads on the top and bottom of the board are 5vdc power for the navigation LED's.
The GPS controller board is where I believe my problem with the "NO MAV DATA" is originating but until I hear back from Banggood, I'm not sure.
UPDATE: After several weeks and a hundred more flights, the motors again wouldn't arm. Not seeing anything physical on the boards, I let the quad sit on the shelf for a couple of months while focusing on my Phantom 3 Pro, but out of curiosity and an electronics background, I decided to try the heat gun fix to the GPS board. I heated the large IC in the center of the board to about 400° and also the SD card mount (that was super glued by Bangood). Lo and Behold, it worked!. There is either a flakey IC, solder connection or SD card involved here that the heat restores the connection. It's still working so far! (December 2017)

Did you ever figure it out, The No Mav Data?
ReplyDeleteG10 simply sent it back and it was working again. When I took it apart, both boards were original but the SD card had been superglued in rather that the original silicon. I presume they updated or replaced the SD card, but no, I still don't know what they did. It's been a few months and it's happened again, the motors won't arm, but I will let you know if I figure it out. - Jack
