[QUOTE="legend32, post: 113662, member: 20340"] Hi, I crashed my drone and it submerged 50% in water. It had alot of sensor warnings, so I took it apart, cleaned it and put it back together. The only warning left was 'gimbal overload'. I went online and bought a second hand gimbal motor for 10 dollars and fitted it. I still get the exact same error. Things I have tried - ICU caliberation - Compass caliberation - gimbal caliberation with python script python comm_og_service_tool.py comX SPARK GimbalCalib JointCoarse python comm_og_service_tool.py comX SPARK GimbalCalib LinearHall - made sure pitch and roll was at zero and that change them didnt make much of a difference at all The error When off the camera is straight, once i turn it on it tilts 35-40 degreees to one side and stays there When i try using the roller on the fly more remote it will go maybe 30 degrees down and then stop and give the gimbal error When i manually push it down gently it will go down with no resistance When doing the python caliberations above it will not function like it does in the videos, it only moves slightly up and down but nothing else When I have it on and move it about it seems like it does full range of motion to correct itself. However when i stop moving it the camera is level but will slowly over 2-3 seconds return to 35-40 degree tilt. It is definitely out of warranty, I know the second motor i got might have been faulty too but seems unlikely that both gave the same errors. Any advice is greatly appriciated and any other info needed just let me know. Results of the python caliberation was 'caliberation time exceeded, caliberation must have ended, result unsure' [/QUOTE]
