Hi, I've started working with a storm32 gimbal controller board... all the documentation is awesome by the way... but struggling with the IMU board section of the setup procedure. All the wiki pages and videos I looked at for the Storm32 board show…

Pau replied to iskess's discussion Creating a dedicated camera photo logger with IMU, GPS, and trigger sensor.
"Hi guys, 

As mentioned by the other people, the camera "hot shoe" approach mentioned here sounds really good, and would like to implement it... Something like RTK GPS would not really be that great if it isn't represented in the photo's geo-coding.…"

"Just to give you guys an update on my struggle / learning curve... It is some sort of AlexMos / SimpleBGC driver board supplied with that gimbal, but definitely beginning to think that it's some sort of clone from them. The reason I say this is:

"Thanks for the suggestions guys! I don't like to spam forums, but it's nice if someone is able to help you out.

"Jip, I've got that part thanks. The problem was with entering config mode on the modem with '+++'. Anyway, think Hyperterminal added new line characters, so switched over to Termite.
I now get into config mode, but can't manage to retrieve or set…"

My 868 config started as such, with RFD config tool v1.6 (before uploading firmware):

Pau commented on Hugues's blog post Alexmos brushless gimbal PID settings : share them with the community
"Guys, are you sure this is the best approach to set your gimbals' PIDs? I'm just thinking out loud, but there's WAY TOO much variables constituting to your gimbal's performance, never mind a person's personal preference to set a gimbal less / more…"

"Hi guys, wow this thread is huge!
I don't know if it has already been mentioned on the previous pages, but I need some help with my RFD868+ links please. I bought two pairs of links from RFDesign (the other pair being RFD900+), but it seems that all…"

Pau replied to Pau's discussion Set pixhawk flight priority to RTK GPS
"hey Dmitriy, thanks for the reply, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for. That's just how to enable a RTK system on Pixhawk and send correction data through the same comms link with GPS injection.

I'm looking for the necessary flight path…"

Hi Guys, I think this is a very basic question, but still couldn't get a solid guide line from google or the forum till thus far. From what I can gather, Pixhawk auto-pilots use extended kalman filters to accurately determine its position &…
