Yaw using a RC Radio
  • Frank
    Hi everyone.
    I'm mounted a DYS 3 axis GoPro gimbal to a cable camera system. I connected the RX Roll and RX Pitch and plugged them in to a DSM X receiver that is Bound with my DX4e radio. I went into the GUI software and assigned the radio channels and they work great. So I have Pitch and Roll working perfect. I have 2 more channels available and want to get the YAW to work with my radio, As far as the PID and power settings go I have that all working perfect and it's in follow mode. The gimbal works perfect. I could really use your help on getting the YAW to work with my radio.

    I am using a mini Alexmos board with version 2.3 b5 I believe.

    I look forward to your replies

    Cheers
    Frank

    Frank you will need to swap the ROLL for YAW in the settings

    in the RC Settings tab:
    ROLL change to 'no input'
    YAW select 'RC ROLL'
  • Frank
    Thank you.
    That worked perfect but I dont get roll now.
    Is there a way to get all 3 axis's working at the same time with a RC radio?

    yes there is jut need to tune the gimbal
  • Tasz
    You can assign fc-roll to the yaw.
    Or use ppm-sum
  • thinkthink
    Frank as far as I know you can only use 2 channels - maybe when they include SBUS support you will be able to assign more channels to control PITCH,YAW,ROLL & MODE but for now only 2 :(
  • Tasz
    No, you can use fc-roll or fc-pitch input for the yaw
    It's possible to use 3 inputs
  • thinkthink
    Thank you Tasz - I didn't know that you can use fc-roll or fc-pitch input for the yaw - I will try it and report back here :)
  • thinkthink
    Confirmed as Tasz correctly suggested, you can use the fc-roll or fc-pitch input or in my case I mapped the 3 way switch for the command assignment - thank you again Tasz for information

    here's mine now using 2 channels http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VgSHrwyeOOw

    Hello, guys!

    I want to control Yaw with my head tracking goggles. I connedted rc receiver to the board, and camera actually moves according to the goggles movement, but kinda slow. So if I move the goggles slow its fine, but when i move them faster, respond of the gimbal is late and the movement is slow.
    I tried to change PID settings, but it didnt help. Hope someone knows how to fix this.

    Thanks!

    How about trying RC speed. PID is mostly for tuning the reaction to external disturbance.

    This is for FW 2.4
  • Andrey
    Thanks for the advise! Now it seems to work. It took some time to find right setting.
    I have another question, how to set up correct yaw follow mode for 3axis gimbal? I tried to use yaw offset, but it work realy well. Maybe its possible to use FC to set up precise yaw follow ?
  • Garug
    FC helps with Roll and Pitch, but not yaw. FW 2.4 has a setting for yaw speed, dead band and Expo curve. Start with yaw speed 3 and dead band 3 and expo 0.

    Note also that RC Control Min and Max angle values affect the Follow mode operation, I have just maxed them out.

    But before trying Yaw follow, the yaw needs to work really well on basic mode.

    hello,

    i have juist installed my 3 axis dys gimbal under my quadcopter 450 dji
    i have everything working eccept that if i touch the gimbal sideways or when i fly there is a chance that the yaw rolls away so it dousnt stay where i want it to be is there a way to fix it in the software or do i have to assign it to my receiver?

    can anyone help me with this problem?

    regards
