    Just a thought with that - how where can I get a conversion chart for the pin outs ?

    Cool - so would work with the return to base functionality and all that :-) ? I assume the same is true of the GPS unit - I just hope it comes with a better wiring diagram than the nova

    If I have to replace my flight controller the spiel on Hobbyking says "based on open source APM Project from 3D Robotics". Would any APM flight controller substitute for the one supplied with the quad ? my reason for asking is they seem a lot cheaper - I'm happy to upload drivers etc for it if...

    So was wondering if there is a way I can validate if a component actually functions - flight controller definitely outputs 5V to the GPS - don't know about the signal

    OK - Fried it trying to install the gimbal servos, connected the leads from the Flight controller to AUX 1 and AUX 2 in my diagram - and I think I installed the lead back to from (rookie mistake) - I definitely smoked the RX (puff of smoke literally) but replaced this and now the quad fails as...

    while I was working this out I managed to fry the RX . fortunately I had a spare and replaced it, and there was no apparent damage to any other component. but now the Gimbal servos work, but when I switch the power on, the TX and RX bind ( I get a steady light on the RX ), but I get the...

    Having looked at this in more detail - I have now made it work !! - slightly different config - what I didn't understand before is that SWA is also to SWB and the signal is a composite for the nova, so you have to plug the 2 extra cables into the AUX 1 and 2 ports for it to feed the gimbal...

    Thanks for that - I should explain that I'm at the moment just trying to use the ports to drive an ordinary servo from AUX 1 and AUX2 - it's my intention to try to build my own gimbal (simple pan and tilt 2 DOF for a start - so wanted simply to create movement of a standard servo from the...

    I have just got my first quadcopter - on readuing all the advice and guidance, I got myself a Quanum Nova PnF (AKA Cheersan CX20 I think). Big mistake as the RC and receivers I had for my amateur robotics projects didn't play ball, so I had to buy a new RC and TX from Nova anyway, and had to...
