Guide to remove motor board

[ketrab]

Anafi official video does not include motor board removal.

Could someone shed some light on how to properly remove that vertical board for service?

Thank you.

You need to remove all the legs, gimbal assembly - then you can undo the 2 screws accessible from the slot where the gimbal cables pass through from the front of the drone. The other screw can be reached by using the hole left by the GPS cover (the one you used to pop the lid off).

Be-careful here as the motor board seems to be paired to the motherboard.

Thank you for reply. So to be clear is the motor board is paired with the main motherboard or the camera is paired with mainboard or motorboard?

The gimbal with front CAM must be required to pairing with the mainboard for replaced both together. But the motor-board will not be required in your case. Good luck!

This is interesting reading.

Anafi motherboard paired with camera/gimbal misconceptions

. Some information that maybe useful after seeing numerous threads on replacing the motherboard and resulting in camera problems. Having repaired a number of these I have accumulated a few spares and found time to swap around boards gimbals and cameras as you can see Stripping down the gimbals...

so the question is, are there any steps to "pair" or that is something done on the backend between the hardware?

My questions as well. I've been told by a certain seller that it's possible, but he won't explain how. I've Googled this to death, but no hints anywhere. If the possibility does exist, I'd be very happy, because then I don't have to buy motor controller boards and mainboards as a pair.

Years later, I’m also faced with this problem now. Bought some parts and thought I can interchange them all. And now I’m siting here with parts from 3 drones and I cannot build one fully functioning from that. Only one with the gimbal deactivated.

Is there still no information about this? Because it’s super frustrating to have all of this laying around here and some software os preventing me from using my drone again.
