Gimbal Issue with BGC 3.1 Newb

Posted by Paul Okelly on January 19, 2014 at 2:12pm

Hi

firstly, hello to everyone

I have a BGC Gimbal 3.1 controller from ebay, I have downloaded the software and it is connecting to the controller fine, I have calibrated the gimbal and all looks good

the problem I am having is when my Y6 rotates left or right my gimbal rolls and pitches slightly, as if the compass is interfering with roll and pitch, Im not sure what the issue is, I have two and they are both the same.

My copter is an 3DR APM 2.6, Y6, the gimbal is not wired though the APM, it is just operating stand alone on a separate battery.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Paul.

    Try to ad more power to roll and pitch about 10 at a time until ok, sounds to me like one is fighting the other due to lack of power.

    Hi Tom
    I have 11..1 v lipo straight into the board, gives the motor enough power and is also fine for all components. Hope this helps
