"If I recall correctly the X in SERVOX_FUNCTION should match with the channel that you are have setup in the Tarot gimbal software. These parameters are set in the Camera Gimbal menu under Optional Hardware of the Initial Setup tab. In my…"

"The attached file is a screen shot of the gimbal setting in MP. I believe in order to have channels 10 and 12 output to the sbus I had to change BRD_SBUS_OUT to 1. Richard Joy said:

"I have this setup because I wanted to be able to control the gimbal angles from a mission script or from the Dronekit APIs as well as being able to manually control them from my TX. I believe Aducopter will use the S.bus (RCIN) OR the PWM inputs…"
"I am able to control a Tarot T4-3D GoPro gimbal with a Pixhawk 1 via the S.Bus and I don't see any reason why it should not work with the Gremsy and Pixhawk 2.1 the same way. The S.Bus out of my receiver is connected to the RCIN of the Pixhawk and…"
"Thanks Will, I did get it to work after some trial and error.
I am using a FrSky X8R receiver and have its sbus out connected to the RCIN of the Pixhawk. The Sbus out of the Pixhawk is connected to the Sbus in of the Tarot T4-3D gimbal which is…"

"I see that this is an old post but wondered if someone had found a solution to adding a Tarot T4-3D gimbal to a Pixhawk. Ideally I would like to be able to have control from mission scripts as well as manually from the TX. The gimbal can be…"
"Glad to see that I am not the only one trying to work out what I can do with a companion computer. Experimented a bit with Dronekit and more recently installed Flytos on my RP3. My concern too is using wifi as the transport. Since this typically…"
I really like building my own drones and since getting my part 107 certification would like to do some commercial work but find that the camera features of RTF drones far exceed those available to us DIYers. Even simply geo referencing the photos in…

"Looks like the "Pixhawk Mini" is finally for sale on the 3DR website. My question now is what is the difference between this and the HobbyKing Pixfalcon" as they look really very much alike although the HobbyKing version is much cheaper."
"I was considering getting a DJI P4 or Mavic but realized I get as much enjoyment building as I do flying so I've resumed my new hex build project that will be equipped with Lidar for precision height control. I would also like to explore precision…"
"I can't wait any more so I think that I will just get a Pixhawk Lite as its only $62 from BG. Hugues said:
