Can't power Gimbal with AMP :-(

Posted by Edgar Scott on September 20, 2013 at 1:49pm

It seems I have to cut my red and black wire and somehow connect it to the PWM Outputs

Its dissapoinging it wont work off the AMP 2.5 to say the least

Is this the PWM?  Im not even sure what it is

  • Warning: Do not connect power (red + and black -) from the RC10 (A10) and RC11 (A11) connectors to the servos.
  • Use the signal lines of the RC10 (A10) and RC11 (A11) connectors only.
  • Power the servos via the PWM Outputs connector power and ground pins.

    Every revision of the board gets better but you're probably right that the A9, A10, A11 (aka RC9, 10, 11) should have shared their power with the rear servo rail instead of with the CPU.  That would have made the gimbal connection easier and we don't use those pins for much else.
