Help!! 0 volts output from 3 in 1 to the tail. (BCPP)

[ptroy]

I have the BCPP. When I plug in my battery everything seems to work normally. The G90 initializes. the green light on the 3 in 1 comes on, But the tail just spins. I measured the output to the tail directly from the 3 in 1 and I have 0 volts. Is my 43in 1 bad? Tell me it's something cheaper.

THANKS

tail spinning and 0 volts coming out?! am i missing something here? this defies the laws of physics. please state your problem more clearly so i can help. where did you measured it from? when did this problem start occuring? do you have the stock tail?

I think he means its spinning because the tail rotor isn't spinning. It sounds like your 3 in 1 could be shot.

[chopperdudes]

if that's so, i hate to say it, but i think ur 4 in 1 IS shot.

Yeah I meant the hole helicopter is spinning.

0 volts out of 3 in 1 when measured @ tail output.

I figured the 3 in 1 was shot.

Thanks.

What's the difference bettween the 3 in 1 and the 4 in 1?. That's the same thing isn't it.

I think the 3-1 is the stock gyro and BEC. I could be wrong.

The 3 in 1 on the CP Pro has the gyro, BEC and ESCs for the main & tail rotors.

The 4 in 1 for the CP, has the same, but it also has the receiver built in.

Thanks Guys.

I opened the 3 in 1 and found one of the components on the circuit board desoldered in a few places.

I resoldered it and the tail works fine.

Now there is no output to the main motor. Ill try again, then probably buy a new 3 in 1.

Thanks again

yeah, this is most likely the power mosfet... there is a solder on direct replacement for about $1 from mouser.com. If you are interested I can look up the link for you, just PM me.

[ptroy]

That would be great

What's PM

it just an so8 packaged n-channel mosfet with atleast 11A rating. That one is almost 2x as strong as the original mosfet at 21A =)
