    Tello CCW Motor Failure

    Comes off very easily with an exacto knife and or a set of pointed-end tweezers. I don't desolder from the motherboard either, just cut the wires off. A little flux and the right temperature and the new wire sinks right in!

    Tello CCW Motor Failure

    I always solder to the motherboard as I don't want the wires to ground out and create other problems. The reason I ask about the shaft is the aftermarket propeller hubs are larger and can rub the motor. This fleet has been teaching 4-18 year olds for quite a while now and I can't always expect...

    Tello CCW Motor Failure

    Hello all! FYI, I have been working with Tello and Tello EDU for years now. I actually have been servicing a fleet of over 150! On a side note, a little sad they have been discontinued... But let me get to the point. Our fleet has been used to teach 6-16 year olds how to fly in the New York...

    Drone Crashes on Takeoff

    Navigation System Errors are usually fixed with an IMU calibration followed up with a Center of Gravity calibration.

    New props = uncontrollable ascent to max alt.!

    I am sorry but that is not a reset button. That is a screw hole, 1 of 3, that holds the heat sink to the mother board.

    Fails on startup!!!

    Tello fails on powerup! Keeps trying to self-check and fails at different points. As we all know, when tello's power on, it lights up steady green, then fast red 5 times, then it normally flashes a series of colors 3 times before it flashes yellow fast indicating no wifi connection. This...

    Please Help, Tello, iPhone, Gamesir T1s, OTG Not Connecting

    I have not observed any issues with bluetooth interfering with the wifi connection between the Tello and an android or apple device. The only issue I have encountered is the T1S getting cranky on initial pairing. On a side note, How well does the TP-Link N300 work? I have used the Xiaomi wifi...

    Ryze or DJI tello spins after takeoff, uncontrollably to the right . Someone please help

    When you replaced the motor, are you sure you used the correct motor? NOT ALL MOTORS ARE CREATED EQUALLY!!! The motors may look the same but have different RPM's (Revolutions Per Minute). You should be able to tell by looking at the wires, white & black should be counterclockwise motors while...

    Gamesir T1s, with Bluetooth

    Were you able to get this paired? If you press and hold the "A" button while powering on the T1S, that gets you into Andriod mode. Pressing and holding the "Y" button while powering on will get you into Apple mode.

    Experienced Tello repair

    We have created our own as a hodgepodge of information from multiple different sources. Our level 3 started as a build from scratch but evolved into repairing older drones as they were piling up from bused motors!

    A big part of our issue right now is these are failing before the wifi is up to connect to them so skimming the data off isn't feasible. There has to be a way to flash the firmware over the usb connection vs over wifi?

    Experienced Tello repair

    I have been teaching drone flight to 7-16yo's for 5 years now. Our level 3 class is the repair of drones that have been damaged in the first 2 level classes... Most of the time it is just motor replacements and they are up and flying again BUT! We have a few drones that fail their internal...
