Connecting brushless gimbal to APM 2.6 without controller ?

Posted by Omer Ahmed on May 25, 2014 at 10:50pm

I have a brushless gimbal and BGC 3.0 MOS controller . I have burnt out my gimbal controller, so can i connect brushless gimbal servos directly to APM ?

Any suitable advise would be appreciated

Sorry, the brushless motors in your gimbal require relatively high power 3 phase input to drive them. Even though most brushless gimbal motors are connected with servo cable, the signals are completely different. We normally use an ESC to drive brushless motors but unfortunately these are not suited to low speed operation. I would not recommend plugging one of these motors directly into the APM outputs.
