Does anyone in NZ have a dead battery that I can pay for the postage to get so i can pull it apart and see if the cells can be replaced?

Do you have any steps for pulling apart the battery? With the 3DR Solo there is a procedure to pull apart the battery and replace the cells and then you can reused the battery and this is something i would like to look at doing with the Karma.

I got out and flew my Karma today and it was so good to get back to my normal control setup. It was super easy to fly and not having to think about which stick to use was awesome. Thanks zombiecircus for the idea. The parts from RS worked a treat and with a bit of effort to remove the plugs...

I soldered the wires to the board and tested it only to find it had them the wrong way around. I popped the wires out of the plug and swapped them around and it tested fine. I am happy get out and fly today and will report back.

I ordered the items from RS and they arrived yesterday. 406-708 Pico-Clasp 4 Way Connector Housing 126-0291 Pico-Clasp 150mm 28AWG Pre-Crimped Lead I made up the cables clipping the wires into the plugs - wire 1 and wire 2 photos. The 150mm cables will give enough length to route them nicely...

How did the ordering go? Item on its way?

With the download and unpacking of the ROM from the Karma there might be someone who can read the code and see what the requirement is for pairing the gimbal? This again could give the option of then customising the code. Maybe since GoPro longer make the Karma they might release the key...

No, they are a single row 4 way. There are 2 part numbers for the 150mm and 300mm wires and i was just noting the other set of crimped wires are for the dual a row connector. If someone wants to double check the molex plugs are the ones that are used on the controller? I have had a look and...

I have found the following on RS Components RS Components NZ 406-708 is the 4 way plug (around NZ$3.50 for a pack of 10) 126-0291 for a 150mm pre-crimped wire (around NZ$15.00 for a pack of 10) (126-0289 is for dual row plugs) 126-0292 for a 300mm pre-crimped wire (around NZ$18.00 for a pack of...

I have had a look online and they appear to be a Molex, Pico-Clasp Female Connector Housing, 1mm Pitch. I will have a look and see if i can find any ready made cables. What length would they need to be?

I have had a look at the plugs and they are not JST or D13 type of plug. I have measured them at 1mm pitch so I will do some research and see if i can find out what plug they are.

I'll see if i can pull apart my control later tonight and try a few of the different connectors that i have and see what type and size they are and then work out the length required i can post back the details.

Awesome work. I know what you mean about muscle memory and having issues there. I will hopefully get a 2nd Karma that i can have a play with and look at this option. Are you able to measure the plugs to see the spacing between the pins? They look like a JST Connector but just not sure...

Hope it all works out and please update as how things go.

Is there a way to change it? It is currently mode 2. I have setup and always flown all my other airplanes, helicopters and drones in mode 1 (throttle on the right). I was trying to land the karma on a small area and it started to drift so muscle memory kick in and used the right stick (mode...
