Futaba trainer box for gimbal control

Posted by Adam Rivera on July 3, 2011 at 6:45pm

Does anyone have any experience connecting a Futaba trainer box to a Futaba radio for camera gimbal control? I have been combing my Futaba 10CAG manual for instructions on assigning different channels to the sticks on the trainer, but so far I have not found any information. I just shot an email out to Futaba Tech Support, but I thought I would check here as well. Just to be clear, I want to take channels 5 and 6 and assign those to the right stick of the trainer box so the right stick can control the tilt and roll.

 

The reason I want to do this is so that I can fly the drone and my wife can control the camera while viewing through video googles.

 

Thanks,

 

Adam

    I have been reading lots of posts over at rcgroups, and it looks like this is going to have to be a custom job. I just ordered the Arduino Nano v3 board and I am going to try to hijack the PPM stream with the right stick as the 5/6 channel. Should be simple enough *fingers crossed*
