Re: MPU6050: Self test acc Y [FAIL] - motor problem?
Just got my CF back from Seeedstudio. It works again; however, the only explanation they gave me for the MPU6050 problem was: About the failure of the MPU-6050, we fix the problem by cleaning the paint on the motor mounter. I should explain that I had painted bright green nail polish on the M1 motor...

Re: MPU6050: Self test acc Y [FAIL] - motor problem?
They responded to me pretty quickly on two different issues. Did you go through the seeedstudio.com Customer Service page or the Tech Support page? (I used the former.)

Re: Power button on/off switch BROKE
This pushbutton-on-top unit would be preferable for idiots like me, who initially assumed the original switch was a slide switch because (a) it looks like one and (b) I'd never seen a side-mounted pushbutton. My first few minutes trying to power it up were spent fruitlessly pushing the thing sideway...

Re: HELP: USB jack torn off
Just tried both cables I'd been using with the CF on two different phones; required force was significantly less than with the CF. I guess (and hope!) my USB jack (may it rest in peace) was an anomaly.

Re: HELP: USB jack torn off
@Tobias: Yes, the connection between the cable and the jack was incredibly tight. I realized this the first time I charged it and tried to be gentle -- not gentle enough. Like san84, I tried two different cables, so I feel safe in blaming the jack, particularly since I'm being told the solder joints...

Re: HELP: USB jack torn off
Jamisnemo: Interesting idea. I had assumed, since the five tiny traces on the board looked so shiny and undisturbed, that there never was any solder on them and that the pins on the jack were just being held against them by pressure from the mechanical connection. Can you state authoritatively that ...

Re: HELP: USB jack torn off
Hi Marcus: Thanks for the quick reply. Attached are photos of the torn-off USB jack (pads facing up) and the mounting location on the CF board. It definitely looks to me like the solder pads have torn off with the jack; the color is off, but in case the board photo isn't clear, the four surfaces whe...

HELP: USB jack torn off
I'm on Day 3 with the Crazyflie and enjoying it a lot. I've charged it probably 10-20 times via USB; the jack was always a VERY tight fit with the cable, so I've always been careful with it when inserting/removing the cable. But even so, this time the USB jack tore off the board. I'm slightly confus...
