Hi,
I got my X-CAM A10 3-axis gimbal and it worked sorta OK out of the box. However, when I hooked up the tilt and pan control I noticed the speeds were different in the directions: tilt down = fast, tilt up = slow. Pan left=fast, pan right = slow.
So I went into the config utility to attempt to set these setting to more acceptable values and see how to the other modes can be used (head lock, horizon lock etc). However after having twiddles some values the gimbal went into insanity mode. Just jibbering everywhere!
I reset that value using the 'initialise values' button and the jibbernig stopped, except when the system is moved fast or tilted to a high degree, then it goes back into that crappy jibbering mode, and only levels back out in 30 secs or so. A screen shot of the current setting is attached.
Also tried the auto calibration knob btw but that just sends it into another jibbering dance for a long time with no 'calibration' evident. The lack of a real manual also doesnt help.
Any ideas welcome.....

Het is op zich niet verkeerd om juist de pan en tilt een eigen zender/ontvanger te geven want dan kan een tweede persoon zich op het filmen concentreren.....
dat is inderdaad niet verkeerd alleen ben ik vaak alleen en het idee was dat mijn tweede zender die het onderstel bedient alleen voor bij landen\stijgen nodig is en verder niet in hand berreik hoeft te zijn zodat ik uiteindelijk gewoon met 1 zender sta !
maar welke knoppen ik daarvoor ga gebruiken ben ik nog niet helemaal uit.
voor de tilt gewoon een pot metertje maar voor de pan .... ideen zijn welkom !
van het weekend eerst aan de slag met de pan functie ! lijkt me een zeer nuttige functie !
you need two PWM outputs from your receiver. What receiver are you using? Are you using a frsky by any chance?
if you connect the the two PWM's to the X-Cam controllers inputs, it should work. But in the default mode, the frsky receiver does not output PWM channels 9-16 on the outputs. You must set it in antoher mode.
Thanks for this,
I was going to try the S-Bus output, do you know what that port on the PHK is for?
X-CAM responded to my second mail, and provided me with the instructions to re-calibrate everything.
Now it works again.
I have attached these instructions for everyone's pleasure. Why they don't put it up on the website is beyond me.....

Ok, so my hacker friend did find the password for the util. It is:
x123<time>cam
so if it's 21:45 the password is:
x1232145cam
dunno what you can do with that, looks like some sort of log windows....
No one?
