Taranis 9XD Plus erratic pitch inputs.

Post by paperquad2015 »

Hey so my Taranis x9d Pitch stick is getting erratic inputs on the pitch stick. I’m using betaflight.

I first noticed this today. I was flying my 150 an notice that the pitch wasn’t coming back to center ( not the physical button the input). The pitch will sporadically jump to a high ppm ( hope I’m using the right terminology), an continue to spin. Until another input is put in on the pitch input.

The last thing I did was adjust the center trims in the sub menus in my Taranis could this be the cause?

So I’m wondering were should I start trouble shooting. The inside of the Taranis, the trims? What could be causing this?

Probably a faulty pot on the gimbal, or its wiring/connection to the board.

Would you think this would be an easy fix or should I just by a whole new Taranis?

Likely an easy fix either by fixing the connection or replacing the gimbal.

Thanks I just ordered another gimbal hopefully it’s the right one... do you know by any chance are the gimbals interchangeable. Meaning is there just one gimbal an is there a method on the gimbal to make it snap back to center. Like on the right side. Or is there 2 different gimbal for the left an the right side?
