Protocol TerraCopter EVO Left & Right Joystick Replacement

Giriş

The TerraCopter Evo controller joysticks are used to guide and steer the drone in flight and on the ground. The joysticks can break off from the controller or separate from their assemblies. This guide will assist in opening the controller to the joysticks and completely replacing them. If your joysticks are just cosmetically damaged, you can just follow up to Step 2 and then reassemble with your new joysticks. However, if your joysticks are not processing input correctly or at all, you will need to solder to replace the electrical component. Check out our How to Solder and Desolder Connections guide if you are unfamiliar with soldering best practices.
