Hi,
I have been using the camera gimbal for a while now. I noticed the addition of the new camera tab in APM so decided to play with it. As soon as I changed the roll trim, roll stopped working. If i change the roll trim, the servo moves, however if I tilt the copter the gimbal stays wherever I trimed it to.
I have checked the servos and also swapped around the APM2 outputs just to check. Servo works fine, Pitch working fine, roll fails to roll yet changing trim moves the servo.
Any ideas?
Regards,
James

This is a timely addition as I have just built the roll/tilt gimbal and was about to start learning to fine tune it.
BUT
plugged in the servos and all worked well except the tilt was reversed.
Easy I thought, there is a reversing check box, unchecked that (they were both checked as default) and tilt stopped working.
Made sure everything was hooked up correctly, still nothing, although trim worked, changed servo centre position as expected.
Checked the reverse check box and it was working again but still in reverse to what I need. :-(
So I unchecked the reverse check box on roll and sure enough, it stopped working as well.
So it seems that any change in the reverse check box stops the channel from working.
Did a reboot of the APM1 board but still the same.
Great addition to the Planner, so I hoping this bug is nailed soon.
The roll is still stuck after a planner disconnect and reboot?
I had an issue just like this with the Pitch/tilt. The only way to get it working again was to go reverse the direction and change it back. That seemed to get the Pitch working again.
