UAV Hobbyist. Retired IT professional
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Built a 500 mm quad with an APM 2.6, GPS/compass and equipped with camera and gimbal.Presently interested in arial photography but would like to explore 3d mapping applications in the future.

"If I recall correctly the X in SERVOX_FUNCTION should match with the channel that you are have setup in the Tarot gimbal software. These parameters are set in the Camera Gimbal menu under Optional Hardware of the Initial Setup tab. In my…"
"Really impressive. "
"I haven't worked on this for awhile but as far as I recall it did work. Here are some notes that I made

"The attached file is a screen shot of the gimbal setting in MP. I believe in order to have channels 10 and 12 output to the sbus I had to change BRD_SBUS_OUT to 1. Richard Joy said:

"I have this setup because I wanted to be able to control the gimbal angles from a mission script or from the Dronekit APIs as well as being able to manually control them from my TX. I believe Aducopter will use the S.bus (RCIN) OR the PWM inputs…"
"I am able to control a Tarot T4-3D GoPro gimbal with a Pixhawk 1 via the S.Bus and I don't see any reason why it should not work with the Gremsy and Pixhawk 2.1 the same way. The S.Bus out of my receiver is connected to the RCIN of the Pixhawk and…"
"Thanks Will, I did get it to work after some trial and error.
I am using a FrSky X8R receiver and have its sbus out connected to the RCIN of the Pixhawk. The Sbus out of the Pixhawk is connected to the Sbus in of the Tarot T4-3D gimbal which is…"

"I see that this is an old post but wondered if someone had found a solution to adding a Tarot T4-3D gimbal to a Pixhawk. Ideally I would like to be able to have control from mission scripts as well as manually from the TX. The gimbal can be…"
"Glad to see that I am not the only one trying to work out what I can do with a companion computer. Experimented a bit with Dronekit and more recently installed Flytos on my RP3. My concern too is using wifi as the transport. Since this typically…"
I really like building my own drones and since getting my part 107 certification would like to do some commercial work but find that the camera features of RTF drones far exceed those available to us DIYers. Even simply geo referencing the photos in…
"Thanks, that makes sense. In the meantime I started to experiment with Dronekit-Python 2.x running on a Raspberry Pi to get the GPS and barometer sensor readings. As the documentation states the library changed from a MAVProxy extension to a…"
"What sort of information is being sent out of the Pixhawk serial 2 port ?. Is the Mavlink protocol ?. Michael Burmeister said:
I use the serial two from the Pixhawk and decode the messages on the Propeller chip I use. Works just fine. I get…"
