Gimble Integration help

I am trying to wrap my head around this whole gimble thing. I would like to control a gimble through mission planner and not through a futaba radio. Do I connect the servos to the output side? Then how do I go about controlling it? I was trying to get them to move with the joystick, but I am not having any luck with any sort of servo movement.

  • Okay I figured out my main problem.  I needed to supply power to the output side to control the servos... Still having one problem with channel 8 out trying to control "Pan" it is very twitchy. If I move the joystick the servo will follow some of my command then move right back to where it was. Any ideas on where I might be goofing?

    I am running all this with my Futaba 8FG controller with a 14 channel receiver. I have channel 7 running to input side 7, 8 running to input side 8 and channel 9 running plugged into channel 6 on the input side. I have pretty much ran out of channels on the input and outputs.
