2003 Honda VTR1000 SP2 RC51 Rebuild *MY DREAM BIKE*
Переглядів 71511 місяців тому
During the pandemic in 2020, I was presented with the opportunity to buy my dream bike, a VTR1000 SP2. I jumped at the chance and bought it sight unseen (it was located up country) immediately with the knowledge that the 2nd and 3rd gears do not work and that the chain slider on the swingarm is missing. 6 months later, restrictions lifted enough that I could make the trip up country to go and c...
Repairing your DJI Spark battery using a CP2112 HID USB to SMBus/I2C adapter!
Переглядів 21 тис.Рік тому
This is just a brief tutorial on how to repair your DJI Spark/Mavic batteries once the dreaded PF flag is enabled by the BMS on the battery, which leads to the battery not being able to charge or be used. My drone might be a couple of years old, but has not flown that much, so I couldn't believe that the batteries were done for. So after doing some research, I found this way to be easiest and q...

So, after breaking my third gear in late October 2015, I was forced to tear the bike apart and have some work done. After replacing the gear, gearshift drum stopper, timing chain, timing chain guides, shims, couple of oil seals, regulator/rectifier and the sprockets and chain, this was my first official ride with it being 100% back. Took it out on Clarence Drive and it was an interesting ride, ...

    I tried this on a Spark battery and it worked. At first I tried using a 9V battery, but when I tried that I got the error message "could not perform smbus read 0x00", presumably because the battery didn't give enough current. I then switched to a 9V power supply from a bluetooth speaker and that worked wonders. Now my battery charges without issue

      I've done some research and found that it should work with an arduino as long as you're really good at programming them and manage to make the DJI Battery Killer software see it as a CP2112. As far as I can tell no one has published any code for that, so I recommend using a CP2112

      ua-cam.com/video/-Af5LyQaYJo/v-deo.html You need to be in the region of about 10.5v MINIMUM collectively. So it will be at 3.5v each. Battery killer will more often than not fail to clear the PF if each cell is below 3.5v each. Also, its better to charge the battery at about 12.5 volts, up until each cell is 3.6v. This will at least give an idea if cells are ok and at least holding a charge

    Wow, absolutely fantastic tutorial. Restored 4 Spark batteries like that. Personnaly, my problem was the first light blinking. I used a 12V, 2A power source which ended up consuming 12V and 0.4A when the batteries began to charge again. At some point I had to be patient and tune the power... Had to try 2-3 times for the first battery to make it work, but the rest was done on the first try. Also had to charge them a bit more sometimes so the drone would turn on. I can't thank enough this tutorial (and Jacques). Oh btw here's the link to the Drive containing the software 13.06.2021 DJI Battery Killer : drive.google.com/file/d/1F-hjFhaPGixog1-4q2XkKmVmcSnppLZo/view Have fun guys :)

    Excellent - thanks, Jacques. All three of my Spark batteries are now happily charging. For clarity, Pin 1 is clock and goes to the SCL pin on the CP2112. Pin 6 is data and goes to SDA on the CP2112. The batteries were so flat they needed additional power to enable the CP2112 to read them - in my case I initially tried a 9V power supply but it didn't provide enough grunt, so instead with the jumper wires still attached I pushed the battery into the DJI charger - ugly, and needed to press fairly hard (trying not to press too hard, to avoid damaging the pins on the charger), but it worked. The version of battery killer I have also provides three options - BQ9003 worked for me with the process being Read Info, Unseal, Clear PF, Clear PF2, Reset Chip. Just need to watch the screen - if there are errors (for example due to the CP2112 losing connection) just try again from the start.
