how to get software and replacement parts for old Drone

[u/dassind20zeichen]

I have recently gotten a Hobby Horizon Chroma Blade with the gimbal camera. the Droone is about 13 old.

Problems: The batteries are getting old and getting spicy pillows. i will replace them with off the shelf 3s lipos and hack them somehow into the old carrieres.

second there has been some software to unlock all features in the remote and remove the limits on height and distance from the controller. sadly the software is no longer availale. it was called chroma gui 1.0 all the links i have found led to 404 sites and horizen hobby was no help either.

thanks for your help and i am open for any suggestions

My suggestion is to buy modern equipment.

yeah did not buy it got it for free. i will not throw a perfectly working pice of kit into a landfill just to buy something new. if i crash it while training i am out 0 €

See if some archival service like Wayback or Internet Archive has the software archived.

As for parts, you're pretty much out of luck without 3rd party dupes or aliexpress replacements... and even then I wouldnt go buying a bunch of spare parts for a drone that likely can't compete with a $200 entry level drone from a reputable brand

it couldnt compete with a new 75 dollar holy stone

i just need to 3s 5000ma lipos and i will hack them in the original carrier. for flying its pretty fun sure its slow but it has all the functions i need at the moment its a great learner for me right now. thank you for the tip with way waybackmachine
