Joystick Camera Control

I'm trying to control my pan/tilt gimbal with a joystick through the mission planner.

Having a bit of an issue, as the servos immediately go into motion when APM is powered.  I have the two servos plugged into channels 5&6, and those outputs mapped to two axes of my joystick.  I get no response from the servos when the joystick is moved.

The servos are continuous rotation, to get a better sensor field.  Could this be an issue?

  • I got mine working today but the continuous servos are impossible to trim to stop them from moving all the time. I had to swap them out with a 180 and a 90 deg. servo. I ill get more info out to you tomorrow on my parameters.

  • i have a similar setup on power up my gamble moves on its own & settles in flight so yes this is normal . the servos should be plugged into the APM output not in to the receiver ?

  • Did you have any luck getting this working. I am have the same issue with this.

    I have not gotten any new info as of now.

     

    Thanks
