I got a pair a couple of weeks ago from Robotshop. They were on backorder when I ordered them but they shipped them a couple of weeks later. All installed and work great with my Sky9x board.

I sent Brent an email just to pick his brain about the board problem. I got word back on the gimbals/pots. The word isn't good. Here is what they said: -------------- Hello Robert, Unfortunately, we do not carry the gimbals anymore and cannot source the replacement photometers. We apologize for the ...

I arched the black and white wire on the pots a couple of times by accident. The board rebooted each time, but now it doesn't come up at all. The screen lights up but not bright and nothing on the display, just a blank screen. I have all the pots from the gimbals removed from the board connection an...

Here are the photos. I took them with my phone, not the best but hopefully they can help someone. Well, it appears I must of fried my new Sky9x board ($100.00 + $40.00 gimbals) and no Tx that works. A speck of solder that hits the wrong place or a pot wire that grounded to another one is all it take...

Hi ShowMaster, Thanks for your help and attention in this matter. I know you are not trying to be difficult. I really appreciate the help you are giving me. Okay I got around to putting down the measurements. Two I've pulled out of the gimbal so the full range can be shown below: 1) Total Ohms= 4.89...

Hi Guys, Sorry for not being specific. Tell you what, I will put together a video and word summary explaining the reading as ShowMaster asked. One thing I'll tell you is one of the pots I'm playing with doesn't hold steady. If you push around the on the shaft (in or out) the ohms fluctuate a lot, so...

When I measure the ohms when I turn the pots on the two that I think are bad, barely no change in ohm reading via the ohm meter (taken off the gimbals and spinning by hand). The other two show a very different reading. The calibration on the Tx is consistent with the reading from the ohm meter (no m...

I hope someone can help me. I got the new Sky9x board (3.0) and Aurora Gimbals from Lynx Motion. I finally got around to installing everything today. I got the gimbals mounted pretty nicely and soldered up. Went to calibrate and only two of the four pots work. I double and triple checked my wiring a...

Thanks again Kaos. Well, good to know. Since there is no response from him, he probably isn't in the market anyway.

Cheers!

Thanks for the info. I knew he was in the process of manufacturing a new batch, but I didn't know if the new batch was just another production run of 3.0 or if 3.0 was new. What revision is it? Also is the back lit screen from http://www.ersky9x.net or just the stock screen with a Turnigy backlight?

I'm very interested and will take it. What version is the board? 3.0?

Let me know how to want to do payment. I can do Paypal.

I am having the same problem with mine. I think I arc'd something when I was messing around with my mods I was doing. Anyway, I got stuck at loading model the same as you. I went back to the original turnigy firmware and it seemed to work. Not wanting to stay there I retried to load er9x but back to...
