"Interested. I've been tuning an APM Ecilop for awhile. It's flying well but have had an issue with the gimbal hunting/twitching a bit against my gyros. Is your dead zone code used to keep the gimbal more steady at the center?"

APM2 - How to pass a CPPM channel through to another output?

Previously, I was using a receiver that had 7 channels running into the APM individually and 1 running to a separate arduino that I use to control custom camera trigger and mode functions (selected…Continue

I've changed this message like 5 times as my results are difficult to find patterns in. I've done just about everything I can think of to get my gimbal to level at each end and center, but I have not…Continue
Custom Arduino Code - add to APM or external?
Started Nov 5, 2012 0 Replies 0 Likes
I've put together some arduino code for triggering my camera.Should I keep this code isolated from the APM on it's own arduino board, or can I add it to the APM? I am only using one input and one…Continue
APM-2 + Ecilop Easy?

Is the APM2 compatible with the Ecilop Easy in regards to the external gyro gimbal control? I have never used the external gyros but am looking into this frame. Compatibility with APM2 is a major…Continue

GearType replied to GearType's discussion APM2 - How to pass a CPPM channel through to another output?"If there isn't a way, can I request some type of patch-through functionality be added so that you can use CPPM but still output individual channel PWM signals from APM? Or maybe just a revision of the camera shutter feature in the gimbal…"
GearType replied to GearType's discussion APM2 - How to pass a CPPM channel through to another output?"I actually need channel 6 separately."
Bill Bonney replied to GearType's discussion APM2 - How to pass a CPPM channel through to another output?"The impedance on the Arduino is very high, so you can simply just connect the CPPM signal line to the other Arduino. It would only react to the signal for CH1. It should be straight forward."
GearType posted a discussionAPM2 - How to pass a CPPM channel through to another output?
Previously, I was using a receiver that had 7 channels running into the APM individually and 1 running to a separate arduino that I use to control custom camera trigger and mode functions (selected via a PWM switch mix).I just changed to a new receiver and am outputting all channels (1-8) to the APM on 1 signal line with CPPM.So, everything is great except I am not sure how to pass that 1 channel through to my other arduino now.Ideas? Basically what I need is the gimbal shutter control…See More
GearType replied to Christian Winkler's discussion FrSky inverted TTL APM2"You posted awhile ago, but still to follow up, you need an RC filter plus voltage divider for PWM RSSI to analog. See this link :

GearType replied to John Dell's discussion Naza M vs. APM 2"Thanks for the info. I am in fact hooked up to Channel 7 and 8, however I do not know how to be certain whether there is a performance benefit other than to eyeball it against the standard gimbal channels.

GearType replied to Shaun Stanton's discussion Gimbal compensation issue with APM 2.5"I put a bubble level on my gimbal to verify.
I have been having difficulty configuring the gimbal reliably. My servos responds between about 1200-1700. Yet, adjusting the Mission Planner servo PWM limits outside of this range has an effect on the…"
GearType replied to Anthony Bee's discussion ArduCopter Pan/Tilt System (Question..s?)"I didn't see anything about keeping the camera pointed at a fixed point. Where are you reading this?"
GearType replied to John Dell's discussion Naza M vs. APM 2"There is another thing to compare... Camera Gimbal performance and configuration. I love APM and it's versatility. However, I have had issues with tuning the camera gimbal to function as I would expect.
I noticed that the Naza menus have a…"
GearType replied to GearType's discussion May be a problem with APM 2 Camera Gimbal Code - Help please"Interesting that aside from all this, adjusting the servo limits wider than the values I read does have an effect on the gimbal. Still, I cannot find a way to get leveled in both directions and at center."
