My QuadCOP is fully repaired. However there is appears to be one casualty, the Pi-Cam.
I am getting the infamous pi-cam error and all the normal workarounds are failing for me. When the QuadCop "landed", the little eye/bubble on the head filled with water since it landed in a puddle. Apparently sound sensors don't detect water real well. I am not sure if that killed the cam or if the jolt from the ribbon being pulled out did. I confirmed the ribbon is ok. The little brown cable from the black camera you can see in the pic, I get the same error if I unplug it so I think the camera itself is shot, but the breakout board is functioning.
I plan to get more flights and continue, but I want to order another Pi Cam to get onboard video. So stay tuned! I also need to update my GitHub with some more mods I have been making to try to stabilize it.
