Hi, friends.

I have yet another problem with my DIY 8-bit 2.40 b7 gimbal, this time it's something that even prevents it from working at all, and it's bothering me already so much since in two days I have an important shooting.

Recently, I noticed during a handheld testing the gimbal suddenly “shut down” with no apparent reason. The controller was on, but there was no power on the motors. I didn't give it any importance since it was just one time, and it resumed working after it was stationary on the ground.

But today, performing tests in flight with my octo, the gimbal just died EVERY flight at some point, around 2 or 3 min of flight. It couldn't be operated with the radio, motors were off, controller was on, it only started to work when I landed and it wasn't moving anymore. Motors didn't seem to be too hot, just like always.

Power is 200, it's balanced, seems to hold very well, P and D are pretty normal, I think. Gyro was recalibrated before every flight.

Recently the only changes I made to the gimbal is some follow mode tuning (but it dies in follow and normal modes...) like Expo curve, yaw offset (could this be the culprit?)... Everything else is pretty much the same as always, when it never did this. The three batteries I use for the gimbal are pretty much fine, and I use one 3 S lipo to power just the gimbal, nothing else.

So, what do you think the problem could be, and how can I fix it? I'm going to do more testing today, if I discover something I'll explain it here.
