Gimbal Integration Help

Posted by Sean Whitney on June 11, 2013 at 11:48am

I have a 3 axis gimbal that I am trying to integrate on my Helicopter not Multi-Rotor. I figured I would come to this forum discussion because you guys know how this might work.

My Problem is I am running into not having enough channels to work with. I would like to control Pan Tilt and Roll all with a joystick hooked up to my laptop. On the helicopter side I have to use all input channels except RC6 and RC7 everything else is full. So is it possible to still control all 3 axis with a helicopter setup using APM? Am I missing something on setup?

Yes the APM can control a 3 axis gimbal. I use it for 2 axis gimbal, but it has controls for 3 axises. See the wiki page below.
